How can you be in the world but not of it? Well, you’ve joined us at the perfect time because today Ron begins his teaching series, “Standing Strong" from the book of Daniel. As believers in Christ, we’re called to be a light in an ever-darkening culture, to impact the world for Christ without conforming to the world’s image. Finding out how to do …

In Revelation chapter three, Jesus has some strong words for the church at Laodicea. It has become dispassionate, distasteful, deceived, and dangerous. These are the earmarks of a lukewarm church. But as hopeless as that may sound, there is a remedy. Ron shares it with us today as he wraps us his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Re…

Some people like their coffee steaming hot. Others prefer an iced latte. But almost no one likes it somewhere in between. In Revelation chapter three, we come across a church that was lukewarm, neither hot nor cold. What did Jesus say to this body of believers, and what can we learn from His admonition? Answers and insight come your way next, as Ro…

In John ten, twenty-seven, Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice. I know them and they follow Me.” In Revelation chapter three, Jesus praises the church at Philadelphia for its faithfulness. One of the rewards for that faithfulness is a deeper, more intimate walk with Christ, one in which you can hear His voice better than you otherwise might. Today, …

It was a small church with little power or influence. Some would have called it insignificant. But Jesus paid them the highest of compliments. Of the seven churches to whom Jesus dictated letters in Revelation chapters two and three, the church at Philadelphia stands alone as the only one to receive no correction or criticism. What was it about thi…

In our vocation, in our relationships, and in our walk with Christ, experience very often leads to complacency. In Revelation chapter three, Jesus dictates a letter to the church at Sardis. Although the church had a good public reputation, the Lord knew most of its members had grown complacent. Sardis was a dead church, but as you’ll see today, the…

It may be nice to have a good public image. But ultimately, you’re not defined by what people think you are, but by what God says you are. The Testament church in Sardis had something of a good reputation. By all appearances, it was vibrant and alive. But Jesus saw through the façade and in Revelation chapter three He calls them a dead church. What…

In our last broadcast, Ron took us to Revelation chapter two and to the words Jesus said to the church at Thyatira. Ron has more to say on that subject coming up next, but he also shares a practical application, and a word of caution, for all of us who call ourselves believers in Christ. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “…

In our lives, our homes, even our churches, things are not always what they seem. The church at Thyatira looked fine from the outside. But something was lurking beneath the surface, and Jesus made it a point to confront it. First, He offers some kind and encouraging words about the things they had done well. But what Jesus says next may surprise yo…

Today, Ron returns to the book of Revelation and a letter written to the church at Pergamum. They had begun to compromise the Word of God, and Jesus strongly admonished them. As you follow along today, see what similarities you may find between Pergamum and the church here in twenty-first-century America. --- Support this podcast: https://podcaster…

Sometimes in life you have to compromise. In marriage. In friendship. On the job. But there’s a time to meet halfway, and a time to stand your ground. In the book of Revelation, the church at Pergamum had begun to compromise the Word of God. Its members encountered some false teaching, and they decided to go along, to get along. Today, Ron examines…

Here in America, the church has begun to suffer, if not outright persecution, at least some degree of prejudice. Might it get worse in our lifetime? The short answer is yes, the treatment of Bible-believing Christians here at home may very well grow worse in the coming years. With that in mind, Ron has three critical lessons to teach us today as he…

Here in America, we hear the stories of Christians being persecuted or killed for their faith all over the world. Could something like that happen in the United States? Today, Ron takes us to the second of seven letters written to the churches in the book of Revelation. It’s a sobering letter to the church at Smyrna, telling them they are about to …

Love God. Love people. These two commandments comprise the entirety of God’s Law. The church at Ephesus was doing a lot of things right back in the First Century. This body of believers was committed to the truth of the Gospel, and they worked hard to share it with the world. But the Lord had one thing against them, and, as you’ll see today, it was…

If Jesus wrote a letter to your home church, what might He say? Today, Ron takes us to the book of Revelation, and to the first of seven letters to the seven churches in First Century Asia Minor. First on the list is the church at Ephesus, for which Jesus had both praise and criticism. As you follow along today, see if you find any similarities bet…

Now, we see through a glass darkly, but then: face to face. The world got a glimpse of Jesus Christ two thousand years ago. He was Divine but also fully human, and, for our sake, He temporarily emptied Himself of the full weight of His glory. But one day we will see Him as He truly is, the glorified Jesus coming in the clouds to set things right on…

No one knows the day or the hour in which Jesus Christ will return. But we’re closer to it now than we were yesterday! You know, the Bible tells us that Christ will return soon. Even two thousand years ago, in the book of Revelation, the Apostle John says the Lord’s Second Coming is near. Ron sheds some light on this seeming contradiction next, as …

All over the world, believers in Christ look forward to His future return. But between this day and that, we need to be going about the business of being ready for His return. How can we do it?
