A Statement on Authority (Part 2)

As we conclude our introductory message to the Seven Churches of Asia, our attention turns to the ultimate authority behind the letters of Revelation 2 and 3: The Lord Jesus Christ Himself.

In this episode, we consider John’s descriptions of Jesus as the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, the prince of the kings of the earth, and the Almighty. We also examine John’s remarkable vision of the glorified Christ, who walks among the candlesticks and holds the seven stars in His hand. These truths remind us that Jesus Christ is the sovereign head of His church, and His words to the seven churches are just as worthy of our attention today.

A Statement on Authority (Part 1)

Before considering Christ’s messages to the seven churches of Asia Minor in Revelation 2 and 3, we first need to consider the authority behind those messages.

In this first part of A Statement on Authority, we begin in Revelation chapter 1 and consider the divine authority behind this book, from Jesus Christ through John and the angel who delivered the message. We also consider the special blessing pronounced upon those who read, hear, and keep the words of this prophecy. This message serves as an introduction to our upcoming series through the Seven Churches of Asia.

The Sovereignty of God, Sovereign Grace Episode 3

In this episode of Words of Grace, we delve into the profound concept of God’s sovereignty. Building on the previous discussions of sovereign grace and human depravity, we now explore the biblical theology of the sovereignty of God.

Through scriptural references, such as Ephesians 1:11, James 1:12-15, Daniel 4:34-37, and Isaiah 45:1-7, 45:18, and 46:5-10, we illustrate God’s omnipotence, righteousness, and sovereignty. We also reflect on the implications of misrepresenting God’s nature and the necessity of aligning our beliefs with biblical truth.

Divine Revelation

In our modern times, it’s common for folks to believe that believing in Jesus is a simple matter of personal choice. However, from passages like Matthew 16 and Matthew 11, we learn that knowing Jesus is the result of divine revelation. That is, the Father reveals His Son to human beings. Join Ben Winslett for more, in today’s edition of Words of Grace.

The Church at Sardis

The Lord’s words to the church at Sardis were terrifying: They had the reputation of a living church, but were indeed as good as dead. Ouch! One can only imagine how their pastor’s heart sunk as he learned that news. The good thing, there was even hope for a church in such a poor shape. Through strengthening the remaining life and repenting, they could walk with Christ and continue. That’s helpful for us to know today!

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 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!
