Dear Tolerant Church (Thyatira) | Pastor Ben Anderson | 11-17-24

As followers of Jesus let’s endure in love and faith, rid our lives of the Jezebels that lead us astray, and search our hearts for unrepentant sin.

Dear Compromised Church (Pergamum) | Pastor Ben Anderson | 11-10-24

Many times Christians are faithful and contend for the Gospel in the face of adversity, but compromise to the slow, steady, incremental seduction of this world.

Dear Suffering Church (Smyrna) | Pastor Ben Anderson | 11-03-24

The follower of Jesus can live faithful and fearless because Jesus is bigger than death. Do you trust in the finished work of Jesus?

Dear Lackluster Church (Ephesus) | Pastor Ben Anderson | 10-27-24

It’s possible to trudge through the Christian life without much joy, believing the right things and doing the right things. This is a lackluster faith and Jesus is calling us to so much more.

Kingdom Citizens & Politics | Pastor Ben Anderson | 10-06-24

The world of politics can be chaotic and confusing, leaving us wondering what to do. Kingdom Citizens fearlessly and humbly engage in earthly politics as ambassadors on the greatest mission ever from the greatest King ever.

Awe-Filled Devotion | Pastor Ben Anderson | 9-29-24

We are all devoted to something or someone. The question for us as Christians is, “Do we have an awe-filled devotion to Jesus?” Acts 2 shows us what a devoted, spirit-filled church looks like.

Sent to Serve | Pastor Aaron Ray | 9-22-24

Serving others is simply the way of consolidating all the Bible's "one another" passages. Our circumstances don't determine whether we serve. Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be great must be a servant."

Freedom in Confession | Pastor Ben Anderson | 9-15-24

Relationships get messy when you sin against someone. Sin doesn’t just separate you from God, it separates and builds walls in your relationships. The way forward is through confession, genuine repentance, and asking for forgiveness.

Freedom in Forgiveness | Pastor Ben Anderson | 9-08-24

A commitment to forgive means that you are making a conscious choice to absorb the cost and cancel someone’s debt against you. You can do this because at the cross Jesus canceled your insurmountable debt.
