Revelation Churches Pt 3

Revelation Churches Pt 3

03/21/23 – Philadelphia & Smyrna. This week we take a more in depth look at the message to the church or assembly of Philadelphia in Revelation 3 regarding the Greek word Philadelphia which is translated elsewhere in the New Testament as brotherly love. Does the study of the church of Philadelphia present a picture of what was lacking in the church of Ephesus? When we take a look at all the passages in the New Testament where the Greek word Philadelphia appears can we get a clearer picture of the ultimate goal of believers in Y’shua Messiah as well as the steps that should be taken on our journey from faith in our first love to agape love. What does it take to be counted worthy to be kept from or escape from (as part of the church or assembly of Philadelphia) the time of great testing that may be about to come upon the whole earth? Then how does the church of Smyrna compare to the Church of Philadelphia. The Revelation messages to the churches were received by John for 7 churches or assemblies existing in the first century CE but are also prophetic messages or warnings for the assemblies of believers in the end of days just before the return of Y’shua Messiah. Warnings that need to be heeded as we enter the judgements of Revelation leading to His Millennial Kingdom.

Revelation Churches Pt 2

Revelation Churches Pt 2

03/12/23 – Ephesus & Philadelphia. This week we take a more in depth look at the message to the church or assembly of Ephesus in Revelation 2 regarding falling away from our first love and being warned to repent and return to the first works. The Revelation messages to the churches were received by John for 7 churches or assemblies existing in the first century CE but are also prophetic messages or warnings for the assemblies of believers in the end of days just before the return of Y’shua Messiah. Warnings that need to be heeded as we enter the judgements of Revelation leading to His Millennial Kingdom. 

HEBREW RUNNERS…  RUNNING TO SERVE HIM

HEBREW RUNNERS… RUNNING TO SERVE HIM

11/19/22 – In this week’s message we are going to talk about “running” to do the will of our Creator, our Abba.  The last few weeks we’ve been talking about LISTENING to the still small voice of His Ruach or Spirit.  This week we are going to explore RUNNING.  Do we drop everything and RUN like Abraham did to meet with YHWH or to do His will once we hear from Him, as soon as we hear from Him?  We will look at several examples in scripture of ‘running’ toward YHWH or running to do His will as opposed to procrastinating when we hear His voice.  How might an attitude of running or procrastinating effect our physical and eternal salvations.  Is it possible that the difference between the Revelation Church of Philadelphia as opposed to the church of Smyrna may have something to do with how quickly they respond to the leading of His Ruach, how quickly we respond to the calling of Y’shua upon our lives?  Hopefully this message will inspire us all to LISTEN even more intently and then to RUN when He calls us.

Take a Stand!

Take a Stand!

06/04/22 – Draw Your Line in the Sand!  As the Aaron Tippin song goes… “You’ve got to Stand for Something, or You’ll Fall for Anything”. And boy is our world falling for anything right now, or WHAT?! It is because we have forgotten what we stand for. As parents do our children understand what we stand for and even more importantly why we stand for it? Especially as “called out remnant” parents are we consistent and do we stand by what we believe to be true no matter what and why do we believe what we believe? Does what we believe change with every new “fragment” found in a cave or every new extra-biblical “lost” book that is unearthed?? However, most importantly of all before we can consistently stand by what believe ‘no matter what’, do we know why we believe what we believe, and do we teach our children consistently why we believe what we believe no matter what? Or are we sending mixed and compromising messages?
