GOOD NEWS from JESUS | Series Schedule
Part 7: Laodicea
June 19, 2022 • Pastor Rob Mayer • Revelation 3:14–22
Using imagery and illustration, Jesus confronts an affluent culture right between the eyes. Jesus here, is showing the self-reliant, great love and unmatched grace – this is really good news! – he’s wanting to set them free. He’s exposing their sin of self-trust that is deceiving them, so that they can enjoy something so much better. This whole section is grace – it’s a grace-filled, loving rebuke from Jesus to people whom he loves and lived, died, and rose again for – so that they could enjoy life abundantly – which is a life of need and dependence not self-reliance and independence.
Part 6: Philadelphia
June 12, 2022 • Pastor Kyle Rogers • Revelation 3:7–13
On the surface that church at Philadelphia was the weakest of the seven churches. They were smaller, had a less distinguished reputation, and had been beat up by religious oppression, physical trials, and hardship. However, they had been consistently faithful to Jesus Christ. Knowing this, Jesus knows their condition and gives no rebuke to this church, only promises of comfort. This letter gives more promises to this church than any of the other letters and Jesus wants them to know that they're his, that they're loved, and that they have a secure future in his kingdom.
Part 5: Sardis
June 5, 2022 • Pastor Rob Mayer • Revelation 3:1–6
Religion and reputation possess the great ability to blind people to their need for real righteousness, and as a result are powerful illusions falsely assuring salvation. In other words, Religion. Even participating in a church community can provide a good life and a clean reputation. It can produce NICE people, but what if God demands more than nice? What if his standard is much higher? What if he requires a deeper transformation; a regeneration?
Part 4: Thyatira
May 29, 2022 • Pastor Luke Wilbanks • Revelation 2:18–29
Jesus came to us the first time, FULL of Grace and Truth. His church is called to represent Him on the earth until He returns a second time. We the church must not cling to just one aspect of Christ, but seek to Declare His Gospel and Display His Glory, by the way we LOVE one another in WORD and DEED.
Part 3: Pergamum
May 22, 2022 • Pastor Kyle Rogers • Revelation 2:12–17
Jesus commends the church in Pergamum for keeping their eyes on him in a evil city that actively persecutes Christians. However, they’ve let a little too much of the world into their beliefs, actions, and daily lives and Jesus is calling for them to change. Thankfully, he gives them exactly what they need for that type of transformation: Himself!
