The letter to the church in Thyatira is the longest of the seven letters in Revelation. It is a complex message that contains both high praise and severe condemnation. Unlike some of the other churches, this one is not commended for its doctrine, but for its actions: its works, love, service, and endurance. However, their great works are overshadowed by a critical failure—the tolerance of false teaching and immorality. This letter challenges us to consider what we may be tolerating in our own lives or communities that is a stumbling block to God.
In a world obsessed with appearances, how do we know if our faith is truly alive?

The message highlights the church's commendable attributes: its hard work, endurance, doctrinal purity, and its unwavering rejection of false teachers like the Nicolaitans.
However, Jesus also delivers a powerful rebuke: "You have abandoned the love you had at first." This isn't a passive loss but a deliberate departure from the foundational passion for Christ and one another. The sermon will explore how a church can be busy and doctrinally sound, yet spiritually empty. The core of the message is Jesus's three-step command to the Ephesians: remember their original devotion, repent of their departure, and repeat the "first works" they performed out of love. The sermon will urge listeners to consider if their faith is rooted in genuine love for Jesus, or simply in religious activity and doctrine, and to take practical steps to rekindle that vital first love
This week, we begin a new series, "Seven: Seven Words to the Church Today," by diving into the opening chapter of the book of Revelation.

The Bible reveals two distinct paths beyond this life – one for those who trust in Jesus, and another for those who reject Him.

The sermon emphasizes the universal scope of God's love, His patience in desiring all to come to repentance, and the unconditional, proactive nature of His love demonstrated through Christ's death for humanity while we were still sinners. Ultimately, it affirms that God's love makes a relationship with Him possible for anyone through Jesus.
"Why does God allow bad things to happen?" It’s a question as old as humanity itself. In John 9, Jesus' disciples echo a common assumption: suffering is a punishment for sin. But Jesus flips the script, declaring that the man born blind was not afflicted due to his own sin or his parents', but "that the works of God might be displayed in him." This Sunday, we'll explore how suffering is not always a direct result of personal wrongdoing, how the presence of evil points to a broken world—not an absent God—and ultimately, how God uses even our deepest pain to reveal His glory, power, and love. Join us as we learn to trust God's character, even when His plan is not fully clear, finding hope in His redemptive purpose amidst life's challenges.

Join us this Sunday, May 25, 2025, as we delve into 2 Timothy 3:10-17 to understand what it means to live a godly life in a challenging world. In this powerful passage, Paul offers timeless guidance to Timothy, his young protégé, as they navigate increasing opposition and uncertainty.

Week 2's sermon on 2 Timothy 2:1-13, titled "Working Hard for a Faithful God," encourages believers to actively serve God by drawing strength from His grace, diligently teaching His truth to reliable individuals, and persevering through difficulties with the focused mindsets of a soldier, athlete, and farmer. The message emphasizes remaining steadfast in the core gospel of Jesus Christ and avoiding distractions to effectively serve God and impact others. The slogan for the week is: "Work Hard, Stand Firm: Live Faithfully for Our Enduring God."
Week 1 will focus on 1 Timothy 1:3-11, addressing the critical issue of false teachers and the importance of the Bible. The central message emphasizes that believers must be equipped through their knowledge of God's Word to recognize and reject deceptive teachings that undermine the Church's effectiveness, instead upholding sound doctrine and genuine Christian love.
Matthew 28:1-10 recounts the discovery of the empty tomb on Easter morning. An angel announces Jesus' resurrection to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, instructing them to tell the disciples that Jesus has risen and will meet them in Galilee. Jesus himself then appears to the women, confirming his resurrection and reiterating the message to his brothers to meet him in Galilee. This passage highlights the miraculous reality of Christ's resurrection, the divine confirmation through the angel, and the initial call to spread the Good News.
In the "darkest hour," Judas betrays Jesus with a kiss, leading to his arrest by temple authorities. Jesus' followers attempt to defend him, but Jesus stops them and even heals one of his attackers. He confronts his accusers, noting their cowardly nighttime approach, and submits to this "hour" and the "dominion of darkness," recognizing it as part of God's plan.
Palm Sunday marks Jesus' triumphant yet humble entry into Jerusalem, fulfilling prophecy as the promised Messiah riding on a donkey. This paradoxical event highlights the contrast between the joyful استقبال of the crowds and the foreshadowing of his imminent suffering. While some recognized and honored him as the "Son of David," crying "Hosanna," others, particularly the religious leaders and eventually the wider populace, grew fearful and rejected his unconventional kingship. The disciples, though initially not fully understanding, obeyed Jesus' instructions, unknowingly participating in the fulfillment of scripture. This event reveals a King whose strength lies in gentleness and service, offering comfort to the ordinary. Ultimately, Palm Sunday calls us to reflect on our own reactions to Jesus – whether we cry out for his saving grace or resist his authority – and to recognize his true kingship, not in earthly power but in his sacrificial love. We find lasting consolation in the person and work of Jesus Christ, trusting in his plan even when it differs from our expectations.
