Summary: The Church of Philadelphia is the model Church, along with Smyrna it receives praises and promises from the Lord; God says they have “a little strength”, not great and mighty strength. Our world says we have to have great strength to do great things. Today we will be blessed to see, and relieved as well, how God does great things through our little strength. Be Encouraged.

Summary: The Church of Ephesus will go down in history as being known as the church (and individuals) that left their first love. Could that be us, could that be you today? Here is the vital point! They did not know it or notice it, even in the midst of all their good works and activities, the Lord had to speak to them to expose it. We would all do well, to hear this Word from the Lord today, and see if we could be in the same state and not know it.

Summary: This week we finish, what we began studying last week that the tendency when studying the Book of Revelation is to get to the what “John saw” regarding the unveiling of the Last Days, and they are very troubling sights indeed, So before God unfolds the book before us He brings words of comfort to His children so that they may fear not, and trust His sovereignty, and His Love.

Summary: The word revelation means to unveil, to make known, yet many people can think this book is hard to understand; on the contrary, the Lord's whole purpose is for us to understand it (reveal it to us). So much so God promises us a blessing (1:3) if we read it. The Book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that comes with such a promise. Join us as we get blessed and begin this verse-by-verse study through the Book of Revelation.

The number one tool the Devil will use is discouragement. He will use any means necessary to keep you distracted from your relationship with the Lord every day. He will try and keep you from the truth that God is our Lord and Savior. In today's message, Pastor Ray will remind you to stay strong and unwavering in those times of discouragement and disappointment. It can be easy to stray from God in those moments, but remember that the devil is NO match for God's love!

Occasionally we can get so blinded by our shame and troubles that we can forget who Jesus is and what His heart is like toward us. He will never turn you away! Jesus will meet you right where you are in your shame, in your anxieties, in your overwhelming days. He can take those heavy burdens, and carry them for you. In today's message, Pastor Ray will remind you of Jesus' accepting love. He is the only way, the only truth, and the only life. Jesus is constantly pursuing a relationship with YOU!

Many of us often go to church just because that's what we do on Sundays, or we go because our families go, or our friends pulled us along. We just get into the habit of going and lose that excitement of getting to go to church every Sunday and worship the Lord freely. In today's message, Pastor Ray will prompt you to find that passion again, and to have expectations that you will meet the Living God! God does speak and He will speak to you, all you must do is draw near to Him and He will draw near to you.

As followers of Christ, we oftentimes can get attacked for just loving Him or pursuing His ways in our lives. That can get exhausting very quickly. God knew that we would be persecuted or afflicted for just chasing after Him, so He made it possible to go to the Father any time of the day in prayer. In today's message, Pastor Ray will encourage you to trust the Lord your God completely in what He's doing in your life. You can go to God anytime you feel overwhelmed and He will give you rest. 

As people, we often think we need to be sinless and pure if we want to go to God, but the truth is we would never be able to come to the Father if it was based on our sinful nature. That's the beauty of God sending His Son, Jesus! It's through Him that we can approach God in prayer. Without Jesus, we would never be able to make ourselves righteous enough to converse with God. In today's message, Pastor Ray simply states that the God we love and serve is gentle. He will not turn you away if you seek after Him.

We fellowship so we can remind each other that the King is coming—and He's worth the wait! When is the last time you joined in with a family of believers to worship God together, to be reminded that He's coming soon, and to remind someone else that everything they're going through now is worth it for the day when Jesus returns!? In today's message, Pastor Ray is going to draw on principles from the book of James to invite you to be faithful in gathering together, so that you can be encouraged, too!

Today Pastor Ray is going to show you that Real faith shows up in real life! And this is what it looks like when you're making the plans, you first listen to God. The first thing you do is ask God what He wants for your day, for your week, for your year. It's a daily thing, and God is in the details! But He's also in the big picture. And the great thing is, when you follow His plan, you can't go wrong! Things around you can go wrong—and they will!--but when you follow in faith He will guard every step.

Nineteen degrees doesn't feel like too much of a difference when you're talking about sailing in the entirety of the ocean. But when it's time to come into the harbor, nineteen degrees is the difference between a safe landing and running aground! Right now, you're sailing the ocean of your life. Whether the water is clear and blue or murky, you're ok out in the open seas. In today's message, Pastor Ray is going to remind you to check your heading, because one day you'll be heading into port.

James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.” But how do we do that? If you look at the other verses surrounding this one, it's already pretty clear! Want to have God draw near to you? First, be a person of peace. Let peace characterize your relationships. Submit to Him and be humble. In other words, you draw near to God by emulating Him and how He loves people. There's so much more surrounding this verse and Pastor Ray is going to dive into it all in today's message!

Do you know the will of God for your life? Pastor Ray does! It's to live in peace with each other. We know that it's not always possible, but are you doing everything you can do to be at peace with the people around you? It might mean swallowing your pride and apologizing for things you've done wrong. It might mean forgiving what's been done to you. Are you willing to do whatever it takes to be in relationships that are covered in the peace of God? Pastor Ray has more to share about that peace today!

How about you? Are there dead things in your life that are dragging you down? What Pastor Ray is going to share with you today is more than just words from an old book. What he has to share with you today is the power of God that takes the dead things and makes them alive again. Sound good? Stick around and watch God do miracles in your life today! God is ready and waiting for you with arms WIDE open. And those dead things? Don't worry about taking care of them first—He's got you covered!

Have you ever found yourself compromising in a situation for the sake of peace? While it can certainly be understandable in certain circumstances, we as believers are to never compromise when it comes to The Word of God, no matter the situation. In today's message, Pastor Ray discusses how we as believers are to speak the truth no matter what, but in meekness and humility. In his study, you'll learn that while the world often demands compromise or tolerance, we should practice neither when it comes to truth.

Have you ever been so determined to win an argument or prove a point that you found yourself compromising on your source of wisdom? Whether we recognize it or not, it can be easy for us to rely on worldly wisdom and strife, rather than the peaceful wisdom of God. In today's message, Pastor Ray discusses the importance of being able to distinguish between worldly wisdom and Godly wisdom. In his study, you'll learn that if there's any form of malice, strife, or bitterness, it's certainly not from God.

Each and every one of us go through life having to make decisions. While many of them are simply day-to-day decisions, every now and then we come across life-altering decisions. It's none other than these types of decisions that we should heavily rely on the wisdom of God. In today's message, Pastor Ray will remind you that God eagerly awaits to give us His wisdom. In his study, you'll learn the importance of seeking the wisdom of God when it comes to the big decisions of life so that you might live out His will.
