To whom do we live? Whose will must be done? Whose name must be honored? Do we target our lives on self-satisfaction or do we focus upon the will, the Word, and the glory of God?

Sermon Songs: Revelation 2:18-29
Jesus your judge now consider, Live for Him fearing your King
Trust Him and patiently endure, Walk in love – humbly serving
Grow in these things, Hold fast to them
That you may hear: “Child, well done”
Do not tolerate false teaching, Guard your life, what you believe
We will one day reign with our King, and the Morning Star receive
Let those with ears, Come now and hear,
What the Spirit says to us
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Revelation Quote
When we indulge in worldly entertainments, worldly fashions, worldly materialism, and a worldly way of thinking, we are following the Thyatiran inclination to go beyond the borders of God’s Word and what conscience, based on that Word, allows.

Revelation Quote
Christ does not consult our likes and preferences. He always knows what is going on, what to say, and how best to approach a church. That can be very comforting to those who cling to Him in faithfulness, but at the same time very disturbing for those who do not.

Revelation Quote
The Lord Jesus has eyes that can burn through every conceivable façade and defense that we can devise to hide our true selves from others, eyes that penetrate right into our hearts. When his eyes are upon you, He sees right through you. He knows all things; nothing in my life is shielded from His gaze, even those things that I hide from myself. Nothing is hidden from Him.

Sermon Songs: Revelation 2:12-17
We are tempted to compromise, Follow the world’s wicked way
Listen to the Devil’s sick lies, And so slowly drift away
Hear our Lord’s word, See His sharp sword,
Follow Jesus faithfully
The hidden manna is Jesus, He alone can satisfy
A white stone is given to us, Entrance to the feast on high
And a new name, Known just to us,
Intimate friendship with God
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Revelation Quote
A ship at sea is where it was designed to be – in the water. But once water starts to get into the ship, if no action is taken, it is only a matter of time before the ship sinks. Although the ship is meant to be in the water, the water is not meant to be in the ship. As Christians, we are meant to be in the world, but the world must not be in us.

Revelation Quote
This church had been faithful under the assaults of the world’s violence, but it was yielding to the allures of the world’s friendship.

Sermon Songs: Revelation 2:8-11
We face tribulation – pressure
We may know some poverty
From the mouths of others – slander
Suffering may come daily
But do not fear, Trust in Jesus
Be faithful to Him each day
In tri-als consider Jesus
First and Last, died now risen
Knows our troubles, He is with us
Gives His riches, works His plan
A crown of life, No second death,
Focus on the joyful goal
To the tune of “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending”
Revelation Quote
Jesus is worth dying for. And if he is worth dying for, then he is worth living for.
