This Weeks Message
Turmoil abounds on a global scale and many wonder what it all means for the church. Are we called to engage in it or retreat? Are we living in the last days? As a community of faith, what should we make a priority? In the opening chapters of Revelation, God speaks to seven churches commending, criticizing, and commanding them according to His will & plan for the world. As we continue our series, "The Revelation 7," today we will look at the church of Smyrna.
The Revelation 7 opens our eyes to the misconceptions we have of ourselves: PAST Message to 7 specific churches PROVERBIAL Message to each type of church (and the church as a whole) PERSONAL Message to each believer within the church PROPHETIC Message to the universal church over history Today's bullet points are: Christ commends the church for ENDURING undeserved SUFFERING and POVERTY Christ commands the church to be COURAGEOUS & FAITHFUL in their suffering Christ promises the church ABSOLUTE and ETERNAL life 3Story at HUB - 10.29.22.mp3According to the Unchurched Report, 79% of unchurched people would welcome a conversation about faith from a friend, but how do we even start the conversation? On October 29, Brian Biedenbach spoke at our Equip U seminar - 3Story Relationships - and gave some powerful, yet simple ways to connect your story to someone else's story.
The audio of that seminar is below. |
