7 Letters to the Church in Revelation

This week, we finish our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Laodicea.Laodicea was a wealthy community, but they let that wealth take a central place in their heart. They were also quick to compromise and avoid any conflict. The church took on these characteristics and Jesus' message to the church was correcting them for not realizing these underlying issues. Like the church of Laodicea, we have to be vigilant in our own lives to not let these problems fester and take steps to combat the empty promises our culture offers us. This sermon is preached by one of our teaching pastors, Trevor O’Keefe.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we are joined by guest speaker Jim Orate as we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Philadelphia.Jesus' message to Philadelphia was one of encouragement. Though they might have been weak, they were strong in their faith and devotion to Him. Like the church of Philadelphia, we are also encouraged to remain faithful and to be able to experience the promises and gifts He has in store for us. This sermon is preached by one of our Board Members, Pastor Jimmy Orate.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we are joined by guest speaker Armando Garcia from Servant's Church (in Fallbrook CA) as we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Sardis.Unlike some of the other churches we have studied so far in this series, Sardis faced very little persecution. As a result, Jesus condemns the church for being spiritually dead. The church of today, like Sardis, may look healthy from the outside and doing the right things, but inside is spiritually numb and complacent. We can take comfort knowing that Jesus doesn't reach out to Sardis to only condemn Sardis, but to revive them. This sermon is preached by one of our Board Members, Pastor Armando Garcia.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Thyatira. Jesus commends the church for their growth and perseverance in the midst of a pervasive and opposite culture to their values. But the church had become tolerant and allowed outside practices and values to take root in the church. Today's modern church is also at risk of the same dangers with respect to our culture's views on many different things, like relationships. The letter to Thyatira is an invitation for us to examine our own lives for what we are tolerating that will later come back to hurt us and those around us. This sermon is preached by one of our teaching pastors, Trevor O’Keefe.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Pergamum. Jesus commends the church for their faithfulness in the midst of a dark and oppressive environment. But the ever present pagan acts in the city were practiced by some in the church. Jesus calls them to repent from false teachers and false attitudes of indifference. Like the church of Pergamum, we too are constantly under influence by the culture around us and should not let the church be compromised or tolerant of sin.This sermon is preached by one of our teaching pastors, Clay Worrell.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Smyrna. When the church was addressed, they were facing severe persecution and enduring suffering because of their refusal to worship anyone else besides Jesus. Jesus recognized the great costs they were paying as a result of their faith. He was a source of comfort as He was both present with them in their suffering, understanding because of His own past experiences, and providing hope with His promise of the crown of life.This sermon is preached by one of our teaching pastors, Trevor O’Keefe.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we continue our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Ephesus. The church was commended for its steadfast commitment to truth while being in the middle of challenging times. But while the church was committed to truth, it had lost love for Jesus and for one another. Jesus calls them to return to the love that they once had. This message doesn't just ring true back then, but for the modern day church and Renewed Life Church today.This sermon is preached by one of our teaching pastors, Clay Worrell.For more information on our church, email [email protected]

This week, we begin a new series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we are reminded that there is an author of these letters, Jesus Christ. Although we have our own idea of Jesus shaped by personal experience or stories of His ministry, John describes Jesus to give us a glimpse of His full glory. Although John fell to the ground in front of Jesus, He was still personal and intimate to remind John to not be afraid. Jesus is both the authority that grounds the message to the church and inspires courage and hope.
