Letters & Lampstands

Comfortable Christians

November 24, 2019 • Josh Wyatt

Comfort often serves as an enemy of our faith. In our final week of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church at Laodicea, a church that had grown comfortable and complacent. #LettersandLampstands

Well Done

November 17, 2019 • Kevin Marando

It's easy to feel insignificant and powerless in a world that is increasingly adverse to our faith. In week 6 of Letters & Lampstands we look at some encouraging words from Jesus to the church in the city of Philadelphia. This church was seen as weak, but Jesus didn't feel that way. #LettersandLampstands

The Performance

November 10, 2019 • Josh Wyatt

As followers of Christ, it's important to keep a close watch on our spiritual health. In week 5 of Letters & Lampstands we look at some heavy words from Jesus to the church in the city of Sardis. His accusation was that the church is dead. This church was known for greatness, but Jesus knew that their heart and their reputation did not match. #LettersandLampstands

Addressing Jezebel

November 3, 2019 • Josh Wyatt

We should expect threats to our faith from outside the church, but threats from within should be extremely alarming. In week 4 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Thyatira. This church was growing in the work of the Lord, but had a real threat in their midst that needed addressing. #LettersandLampstands

Compromised Church

October 27, 2019 • Josh Wyatt

In week 3 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Pergamum. Pergamum had suffered the brutal death of their pastor and remained faithful, but there were a few who compromised their faith. #LettersandLampstands

Under Siege

October 20, 2019 • David Butler

In week 2 of Letters & Lampstands we look at Jesus' words to the church in the city of Smyrna. Smyrna was a persecuted church, and this sermon calls us to prepare for faithfulness when various kinds of persecution come our way. #LettersandLampstands

Love Abandoned

October 13, 2019 • Josh Wyatt

This week we kick off a new sermon series that we're calling Letters & Lampstands. For the next 7 weeks we'll be looking at what Jesus had to say to 7 churches in Asia minor. Christ's words will resonate with us today as we seek to live a life of faith in a city full of unique challenges. #LettersandLampstands
