The Church at Pergamos

The Church at Pergamos was a congregation of faithful saints with one major issue: They tolerated certain false teachers who, in some way, encouraged loose living which resulted in sin. Jesus’ message to them was simple. They were to handle it, or He would handle it. Join us for this message from Revelation chapter 2, on Jesus’ words to the Church at Pergamos.

The Church at Smyrna

Continuing our series from Revelation on Jesus’ “mini epistles” to the seven churches of Asia Minor, we consider the church that puritan John Trapp referred to as “the poorest but the purest” of them all, the church at Smyrna. Impoverished, persecuted, but faithful, this church was commended by Jesus when others were rebuked. May we learn from her example!

The Church at Ephesus

Beginning a new radio series on Jesus’ words to the Seven Churches of Asia Minor contained in John’s Revelation, we consider the dangerous threat facing the church at Ephesus. Shockingly, this reveals that a church can be doctrinally sound, have rigid personal discipline and high standards, yet still have problems as a church. In fact, Ephesus’ problem threatened her very existence!

If Risen…then Seek!

If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1

Risen with Christ. What a thought! Certainly our minds go to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ and our victory over death through His triumph. Yet at the same time, as God quickens sinners, they are vitally risen with Christ. Over the next two programs, we’ll consider Paul’s admonition to the church at Colosse to seek those things which are above, being risen with Christ.

Experiencing God’s Presence

Whether in the Old Testament or the New, God’s house was a place where God’s presence was manifested, albeit in different ways. That brings up an interesting  and thought inspiring notion: do we experience God in His house today? If so – praise God. But if not, why? Ben Winslett addresses this subject in today’s edition of Words of Grace.

The Value of God’s House

Church attendance has been on the decline in the US in recent decades, but since the covid-19 pandemic swept the world, this problem has been exacerbated. Why is this? Certainly their are legitimate causes such as law enforcement, military, or healthcare occupations. And there are moments of risk when a congregation might shelter in place. But what we’re seeing today seems to be something much worse: Apathy towards the church, which is in actuality apathy towards Christ.

The Danger of a Snapshot

One negative tendency of many conservative believers is the habit of attempting to pass judgement on a person’s eternal destination based upon brief snippets – snapshots – of their lives. While it’s true that there are examples of outright evil that is easy to perceive, in most cases we are infinitely unqualified and far too ignorant to set ourselves up as judge and jury in the courtroom of men’s souls. Join Benjamin Winslett for this broadcast, in which he considers several Biblical examples which demonstrate this fact.
