The Church of Philadelphia serves as a model of steadfast faith and obedience, encouraging believers to persevere and trust in Christ's promises.
The church in Sardis was a wealthy and well protected ancient city that had many resources and creature comforts available to them. Because of this, the church there was lulled into complacency and simply followed God because it was convenient for them. They were living a facade that was more interested in comforts than being willing to serve and sacrifice for the sake of the Gospel.
The church in Thyatira was struggling with embracing the culture around them, especially in regards to sexuality, instead of living in a manner that was set apart. Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice for us — are there areas in our lives that we need to surrender to God in order to grow in our relationship with Him?
In Revelation 2, we examine John's messages to the churches in Pergamum and Smyrna. These churches were doing some things well but also had areas of concern that needed to be addressed. They were encouraged to remain faithful and not fear the adversity around them.
God is always there. We can always have hope in our Lord. And so hope is a wonderful thing and we see this in the Book of Job.

There is great beauty and mystery in Revelation, and it is as a book of hope, not fear or confusion. When studying Revelation it's important to understand the original context that it was written. Before we can look forward we need to look back to understand the passages of the Old Testament that John is drawing from.
Revelation is a beautiful book written by the Apostle John. In Revelation, we see the weaving together of many Biblical themes culminating in the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.
Today we have a special guest, Jay Holland. Jay shares on Psalm 88, a psalm of lament. The psalmist is pouring out their heart to God as they are facing tremendous difficulties and deep anguish in their soul. When we face pain and hardship, we can be honest with it and take it all to God.
Psalm 139 is known as the "Omni Psalm" that examines the omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence of God. It helps us understand who God truly is and how this knowledge should shape our lives to honor and glorify Him.
We will all worship something; it's just a question of will it be God or something else. As we go through our daily lives, we are called to turn our hearts towards Jesus and keep our mind on things above instead of letting the distractions of this world drag us down.
Today we shared our vision for the future of Alpine Bible Church. Our county here in Utah is one of the most under-served areas when it comes to having a Biblical Church. As the church has grown through the years, we've reached the point where we simply lack the space to effectively reach our community with the Gospel.
Worship is one way to evaluate the health of our relationship with God. In Psalm 95, the psalmist says true worship involves much more than just music; it involves lifting up our heart, mind, and soul to God.
"As a deer pants for water ..." is how Psalm 42 begins and is a common phrase we've probably all heard. The author of Psalm 42 is facing hardship and trials in his life, and he is pouring out his heart and soul to God in the words of the psalm. We will all face dark times in life, and when those difficult times come, we can find comfort and solace in the faithfulness of God.
A healthy life depends on a close and trusting relationship with God. We see how Joseph depended on God and trusted in God's plan and purpose for him though it wasn't always clear. Joseph did not lose faith in adversity, but rather looked to serve the Lord through the adversity. God was faithful, and we see this displayed in the life of Joseph. Though the actions of individuals in Joseph's life (e.g. his brothers, Potiphar's wife) were meant to harm Joseph, God used these events to bless not only Joseph, but nations. Genesis 50:20 (ESV) “As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.”
The family is the first institution created by God. He calls us to guide and raise our families to honor Him. In Genesis 49, we come to the end of Jacob's life as he is surrounded by his family, and he gives blessings to each of his 12 sons who become the 12 tribes of Israel.
Today we are examining why God first gave the Ten Commandments to the people of Israel and the meaning they still hold for us today.
Today, we explore Genesis 48, focusing on the lessons from Jacob's life. Jacob's journey illustrates how blessings come from God's grace, not our efforts.
When we face difficulties in life, how do we respond? Jesus calls us to be servant leaders, recognizing that all we have in life are blessings from God, and we should use them to bless others around us. We should put the needs of others ahead of our own. In Genesis 27, we see Joseph using his position of leadership to bless and provide not only for his family, but also for the entire nation of Egypt.
During different seasons of life, we encounter all kinds of circumstances, both positive and negative, but through all of them God is in control. In Genesis 46, we see Jacob and his family moving to Egypt. There they reunited with Joseph, and we see the fulfillment of God's promises to Jacob.
In Genesis 45, we finally see Joseph reveal himself to his brothers. Instead of using his position and power to exact revenge on them, he instead forgives them and recognizes how God placed him in this position in order to preserve their lives.
What happens to our faith when we face adversity? When life is going our way, it's easy to say we're putting our hope and faith in God. In Genesis 44, we see Joseph's brothers facing great adversity that shows the change in their character since they sold Joseph into slavery two decades before.
How do we respond when presented with the truths of God? During different seasons of life our response can take different forms and change over time. This is what we see in the heart of Jacob as he responds to the news from his sons regarding Simeon and Benjamin.
