Hey there! This is the place to listen to weekend messages from Pastor Ed of Trinity Church in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. We believe that Jesus changes lives. We've seen it.
Revelation 7 serves as an interlude between the sixth and seventh seals. It forces us to ask: "who is able to stand?" The answer is those who accept Christ. As we look at the Little Scroll, Pastor Ed challenges us to examine if we're truly ready for Christ's coming. Are our loved ones, friends, and neighbors ready? We have all the time in the world to share the Gospel; the problem is, none of us really knows just how much time the world has. This moment is the only thing we can be sure of.

During the tribulation period, God will send two witnesses to stand strong for the message of Christ. At this time, we are the witnesses God has placed on the earth. This generation is our responsibility to reach. We are the tools God wants to use. Are your precious moments counting for God's eternity? Is your life and testimony where it ought to be?

It is easy for us to become so reliant on our worldly possessions that we forget the very reason for our existence: to proclaim Christ Jesus. As we look at the Church in Leodicea, we see a church that was at the center of wealth and pleasure, but in the midst of a … appearance, God knew their deeds and saw that they were lukewarm toward Him.

In this message, Pastor Ed asks the question, will you be found faithful at His coming?
In this message, we look at the compromising church of Pergamos and slippery slope of compromise. Despite this, we are reminded of Christ's sufficiency and forgiveness to us in this letter.
There is not one word of rebuke in the letter to the church in Smyrna. As we look at this persecuted church, we see the faithfulness to Christ suffering in His name usually produces.
