Can You Hear Me Now? He is Worthy

Text: Revelation 4-5

What do you think of when you think of heaven? Many often think of loved ones who have passed away, streets of gold, gates of pearl, angels, personal mansions, and perhaps the biblical characters that they hope to meet. Unfortunately, however, our interests in such things often reveal that we have missed what heaven is all about. It’s all about the Lord. God will not settle for a man-centered view of heaven, and neither should we. In this message, God pulls back the curtain of heaven for just a moment to give us a glimpse of what heaven looks like. We pray that you will listen today and be moved by a refreshed vision of the Lord.

Can You Hear Me Now? Laodicea: The Complacent Church

Text: Revelation 3:14-22

In life, we all value our comforts and conveniences. While there is nothing wrong with this, we must always be careful that this does not lead us into areas of complacency. This is especially true in the Church. It is very easy to become complacent and lose our zeal for the Lord and for the things that matter to Him. This message paints a powerful picture of the negative results of spiritual complacency and shows us personally what the Lord is calling us to do.

Can You Hear Me Now? Philadelphia: The Committed Church

Text: Revelation 3:7-13

Many of us today struggle greatly with commitment. We struggle to make a commitment, and then we struggle even more to fulfill our commitments. This is true in relationships, jobs, friendships, community needs, and sadly even within the church. However, this should not be true for followers of Christ. Jesus fully committed Himself to the will of the Father and to us as His people, and He calls us to commit our lives to Him. This message gives a practical example of a church who answered this call. Their example and the promises that they received from Jesus stand as a great encouragement to us today.

Can You Hear Me Now? Sardis: The Comfortable Church

Text: Revelation 3:1-6

In our human nature, we all like to be comfortable. We prefer comfort in our wardrobe, social situations, relationships, and commitments, just to name a few. While there is nothing wrong with valuing comfort, there are major problems that come when this mindset impacts our perspective of spiritual things. We can make comfort such an idol in our life that it hinders us in our relationship with Christ and causes us to become stagnant and stale. Like the believers in this message today, it can be easy for us to keep an outward appearance of Christianity, but inside be rotting away because of the subtlety of comfort. We invite you to listen today to be encouraged and challenged.
