John's Vision of the Glorified Christ

Revelation 1:10-17

January 23, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

In the Old Testament, God gave clear prohibitions against "imaging" Him. He went further, even telling Moses that no man could see Him and live.

And yet here in the opening chapter of the Book of Revelation, God paints for John - and for us - a picture of the glorified Christ.

What do we learn about the character of our risen and reigning Savior from this picture?

Laodicea: Someone's Knocking at the Door

August 14, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The Letter to the Church at Laodicea is the one we are most familiar with. Yet our familiarity with this text is likely based on some misinterpretations, or "texts out of context." This study attempts to set the record straight.

Philadelphia: The Church with Little Strength and Great Power

August 14, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

Click "View Item" to listen. The Church at Philadelphia had little about it that would garner the acclaim of the world, and yet it had great power because it had the acclaim of the Lord Jesus Christ who had given to this church "an open door" which He himself had opened with "the key of David." This letter is an encouragement to "little" churches" who faithfully minister with minimal visible result and yet are blessed with the commendation of their Savior, "Well done."

Sardis: The Church of the Walking Dead

July 24, 2022 • Pastor Paul Edwards

The church at Sardis had a name that they were alive, but were dead; a few names who remained undefiled, and individual names who will never be blotted out of the book of life. When Jesus tells this church that he will not blot the names of the overcomers out of the book of life, it isn't a threat that they could be blotted out. It's a glorious promise that they can never be blotted out!
