#115 Church - Why Membership Matters

This week, we talk about Church Membership. In a society that frequently worships at the altars of relativism and individualism, church membership stands as a beacon of community, connection, sacrifice and shared purpose. It's a concept that extends far beyond simply showing up for church on Sunday. In a world where consumerism, independence, autonomy, and self-reliance often take centre stage, church membership offers an invitation to be a part of something greater than ourselves.

#113 From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches Laodicea

In this episode, we embark on the final leg of our series, "From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches." Our destination: Laodicea.  The church in Laodicea serves as a cautionary tale—a vivid reminder of the dangers of spiritual complacency. None of us set out to become like the Laodicean church, but through mediocrity, apathy, and complacency, we can unwittingly find ourselves on that path. Join us as we unravel the reasons behind their tepid spirituality and discover practical ways to steer clear of lukewarm complacency.

#110 From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches

In Episode #110 from our ongoing series, "From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches," we are visiting the church in Philadelphia. Philadelphia is a church with little strength, but they spent what strength they had in patience and unwavering faithfulness to Christ. His response to their faithfulness is profound. Not only does Jesus encourage them, but He also sets a gift before them: an open door. This week, we explore the relationship between faithfulness and the gift of an open door.

#109 From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches - Sardis

In Episode #109, we return to our series “From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches,” we come to the church at Sardis. A church that Jesus says has a reputation of being alive but is, in fact, dead. They looked good from the outside but were empty on the inside. A reminder that appearance can be deceptive. Jesus gives the church at Sardis a sombre warning but also gives the church hope through instruction that is both curative and restorative. 

#108 For the Fathers out There

It's important to remember that you don’t have to be a perfect dad, but being a present dad is priceless. Your presence in your child's life helps form your child’s identity. Like many relationships, there is a biblical pattern to follow regarding the relationship between fathers and their children.

#107 From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches - Thyatira

Commendable attributes marked the Church at Thyatira. They exhibited love, faith, and good works, demonstrating patience and growth. Yet, Jesus addresses a matter of concern: They permit Jezebel, a self-proclaimed prophetess, to teach and lead them astray into idol worship and sexual immorality. The pivotal term for comprehending how this happened is 'permit'. In permitting themselves to be led astray, the church failed to exercise critical thinking and discernment before allowing these practices to intertwine within their community. Let's uncover the lessons from Thyatira that remain relevant for us today.

#106 From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches - Pergamum

In our 3rd instalment of “From Patmos to Present: A Vision of VII Churches” this week, we look at the church at Pergamum. Pergamum was an early Christian church situated among a plethora of Pagan Temples. The church at Pergamum is commended for holding fast to the name of Jesus but also rebuked for adopting antinomian practices influenced by the surrounding pagan culture, mostly involving sexual immorality. The church was faithful to the Name of Jesus but compromised by culture. Compromise placed them in the uncomfortable position of facing the sharp and uncompromising double-edged sword of truth and judgement.

#105 From Patmos To Present: A Vision of VII Churches - Smyrna

While Ephesus embodied the loveless church, Smyrna stands as the church that endured persecution. Remarkably, Jesus offered only words of encouragement to Smyrna. But why this divergence? Persecution is a haunting concern for many Christians, and rightly so. What exactly constitutes persecution, and how can believers navigate it in a manner that reflects honour upon God? This week, in the newest segment of our series, 'From Patmos to Present: A Vision of the VII Churches,' we delve into the church at Smyrna, grappling with these questions and more.
