When Jesus was born, it was a fulfillment of the prophecy that a Savior, the King, would come to earth. He went to the cross and died for the sins of the world, and He rose again on the third day before He ascended into heaven.

3 SIGNS OF LUKEWARMNESS 1. SPIRITUAL APATHY “LUKEWARMNESS is a way of saying God, I believe in you, but you just don’t excite me!” –Charles Spurgeon 2. COMPROMISE 3. SELF RELIANCEDoor Victory Midtown

Like the church of Philadelphia, we live in a world that is constantly being shaken. Because sin began in the Garden of Eden, all creation now groans in anticipation of Jesus’ return. Until then, even as we go through the trials of life, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves and to shine brightly for Christ. Though we may feel weak and u…

It’s easy for complacency to seep into our everyday lives until we become like sleepwalkers as we “follow Jesus.” What does this demonstrate to the world around us? Only the misconception that we can be saved and go on living as if righteousness is optional. We were created for more. Jesus wants us to be fully alive, to fiercely and boldly shine Hi…

The Church of Pergamum believed a lie. They thought they had options—that they could have both Jesus and their sin.

What does it mean to “suffer well” and why should we care? When John wrote the book of Revelation, Jesus instructed him to write a second letter to the Church in Smyrna to prepare them (and us) for what is to come.

When asked what the greatest commandment was, Jesus responded that we should love the Lord with all our hearts, souls, and minds. And the second is just as important: to love our neighbors as we love ourselves. The early church forgot about these commands, and if we’re honest, it’s easy for us to forget them as well. Tune in as we learn from Jesus’…

Think about it. How often do you picture Jesus as He was? He was a baby in a manger. He was a broken man on the cross. He was dead. But God wants to reveal to us who His son is. In the book of Revelation, Jesus Himself says, “I AM the First and the Last. I AM the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I AM alive for ever and ever!” There’s a big dif…

The book of Acts teaches us the origins of the early Church—but, like the disciples, it’s also a call for us to GO and tell the world about Jesus.

Life is full of hellos and goodbyes. Hellos are often joyful because they lead to new beginnings, but goodbyes tend to leave us feeling the loss.

This is the most lavish display of love—that the Creator of heaven and earth sent His only Son to save His creation. We repeatedly rejected Him while helplessly trying to fill the God-sized void.
