Podcasts about faithful church

Pastor Wayne Van Gelderen, Jr., is senior pastor at Falls Baptist Church in Menomonee Falls. Under his leadership, several hundred members have been trained to serve the Lord and are engaged in ministry. He also started Falls Baptist Academy High School and Baptist College of Ministry & Theological Seminary to train the next generation of laborers for the harvest field. He's the speaker on the radio broadcasts, The Bible Stands and On to Victory, and this week is celebrating 40 years of ministry on VCY and also at this church. At VCY America, our main purpose in bringing glory to God, is "to serve as a resource for and extension of the Church of Jesus Christ, God's chosen agency, partnering with local churches in reaching the lost, edifying the body of Christ, and advancing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by every biblically legitimate and effective means." God ordained the establishment, the work and the ministry of the local church. Many times on our Friday News Roundup we have stated that the Lord's Day is coming and trust you'll be in a Bible-believing, Bible teaching local church. It's important we do that even as the writer of Hebrews stated, "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching." Indeed, believers in Christ are to come together in worship and glorifying God, in using the talents and gifts He has blessed us with, in encouraging believers, and in giving to support the ministry and outreach of the church.

Revelation 3:7–13 7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens. 8 “‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 Behold, I will make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. 10 Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 11 I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may seize your crown. 12 The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' Introduction – A Church with Little Strength I. Christ Holds the Key and Opens the Door (vv.7-8) II. Christ Values Faithfulness More Than Strength (v.8) III. Christ Will Vindicate His Faithful People (vv.9-10) IV. Christ Calls His Church to Hold Fast (vv.11-13) Application: BE FAITHFUL Conclusion

Colossians 3:1217

Jesus reminds the church that He is the open door, He is the way. There are obstacles to the open door but can be overcome by a faithful, willing servant being obedient to the word of God.

The church age is living in the time of "the things that are" as written in the book of Revelation. This was the smallest of the seven churches and was a church that had no condemnation from the Lord, they were a faithful church.

Sunday, July 19, 2026Ears to Hear: Listening for the Voice of Christ "Philadelphia: A Faithful Church" - Tyler TankersleySermon base on Revelation 3:7-13(scripture reading by Lori Fowler)

Pastor Adam BowersIn this message, Pastor Adam continues our Revelation series exploring Jesus' letter to the church in Philadelphia and what it teaches us about faithfulness, perseverance, and the authority of Christ. Even though the believers in Philadelphia faced rejection and persecution, Jesus reminded them that He is the true gatekeeper, that He knows their struggles personally, and that He rewards those who remain faithful.

Join us with Pastor Chad Benson's last sermon as lead Pastor of Lifegate Church as he concludes in our series "The Church that God Blesses" as we dive into Part 5: A Faithful Church.

Main Idea. God will surely sanctify his church. Driving Question. How does God sanctify his church? 1. Through Faithful Shepherds (12–13) Heb. 13:17: “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account.” 2. Through a Faithful Church (14–22) 3. Through His Own Faithful Keeping (23–24) Phil. 2:12–13: "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you." Takeaways. Our sanctification rests not on our faithfulness to God, but on God's faithfulness to us.

Faithful Church: Shepherd the Household - George Fulgham by Storyline Church

Faithful Church: Treasure Eternal Things - Josh Wilson by Storyline Church

What third tribe does the Chronicler especially honor? 1Chronicles 8 looks forward to the hearing of God's Word, publicly read, in the holy assembly on the coming Lord's Day. In these forty verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us that, in addition to royal Judah, and priestly Levi, the Chronicler honored faithful Benjamin. The passage from 1 Chronicles 8 highlights the faithful continuity of the tribe of Benjamin, emphasizing their unwavering allegiance to Judah and the Davidic line, particularly through their settlement in Jerusalem. While Judah and Levi are also prominently featured for their roles in the royal and priestly offices, Benjamin's significance lies in their loyalty during the nation's division, symbolizing steadfast commitment to God's chosen center of worship. The chronicler uses geography—tracing movements from Geba and Gath to Jerusalem—to underscore this faithfulness, culminating in the statement that these leaders dwelt in Jerusalem, alongside their relatives, affirming their dedication to God's presence. This genealogical emphasis ultimately points to Christ, the eternal King and High Priest, while affirming that faithfulness in the midst of spiritual decline is honorable before God. The devotional calls believers to remain loyal to Christ and His ordained means of access, even when the broader church strays, honoring the quiet faithfulness of those who cling to Jesus alone.

Faithful Church: Practice Godliness - Josh Wilson by Storyline Church

This sermon emphasizes that following Jesus and sharing the Gospel will often bring spiritual opposition, but believers are called to remain faithful, stand strong, and trust in God's authority over every attack of the enemy. Through Paul's encouragement to the Thessalonian church, the message highlights the importance of loving the church, supporting one another, staying rooted in faith, and building strong Christian community through accountability and encouragement. Ultimately, a faithful church becomes a blessing and comfort to others by loving God deeply, loving people well, sharing the Gospel boldly, and growing in holiness and unity through Christ.

On Sundays at Wrightsdale we've been in a message series called “7 Letters”, where we're examining Jesus' words to seven churches of the NT era. The church at ancient Philadelphia received no corrections from Jesus, but only commendations-- because of their faithfulness. What does it mean to be a faithful church? How can you make sure that your church is remaining faithful in an age of corruption and compromise?  (Seven Letters, part 7)

Title: The Church in Philadelphia: The Faithful Church Scripture: Revelation 3:7-13 Speaker: Rev. Kenneth March Date: January 18, 2026 PM

The Bible study given at Calvary Chapel Corvallis on Sunday, September 28, 2025.

The church in Philadelphia was a small but faithful church that stood firm in the face of pressure, persecution, and adversity. Jesus commends them for their faith and keeping His Word. It's an example to us to be a church that loves the lost, loves the Word, and lives as unshakable pillars for the Kingdom of God.
