The Middlers

September 15, 2019

September 15, 2019 • Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: The fire for Jesus in my heart is stirred when I appropriately respond to the knocking and voice of Jesus I've heard.

A middle of the road Christianity, a halfway Christianity, sickens Jesus. Jesus said He would spit the lukewarm out of His mouth. This isn't about the reality of a relationship with Jesus; it is about the quality of our fellowship with Jesus. He is sickened by poor quality. We need to tend to the fire in our hearts for Jesus. It is a terrible picture to see Jesus standing on the front porch of our lives knocking to come in. But if you hear Him knocking, then invite in Him. Let the fire and passion you have for Him be stirred up.

Final Words

Bottom line: Jesus' final words are His promise to fulfill our most hope-filled prayer. His final words - Surely, I come quickly. Our hope-filled prayer is that of John - Even so, come Lord Jesus. Revelation 22:6-21 gives us a series of last sayings: the final words of Jesus in Revelation, the final invitations in Revelation, and the final warning in Revelation.

Home Sweet Home

Bottom line: Every believer will be a victor who lives in home sweet home. Our new home will be in the New Jerusalem. It will be home sweet home in the new heaven and new earth. It will come with new experiences that we will enjoy to the full like no sorrow, our purpose fulfilled, an ultimate intimacy with God, and the purity and security of New Jerusalem - home sweet home.

Hope For Something New

November 15, 2020 • Pastor Chad Thompson

Bottom line: How we experience life in the present is determined by our hope for the future based on our faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection. We are hope shaped creatures. What we hope for in the future makes all the difference in the NOW! Our NOW experience is controlled by our belief about the future. Our hope is that one day we will live with God in a new heaven and new earth. Knowing this is our future we can make it through any trouble and adversity in our present.
