Revelation chapters two and three provide us with a tour of an ancient mail route in the Roman Empire. The first stop on the tour was the church at Ephesus. This was a church that was committed to sound doctrine but had grown cold in it's affections. The issue is that doctrinal perfection in a cold church is just as dangerous as doctrinal error in …

The Church at Smyrna faced a tall order—making disciples in a pagan, decadent city. Their work came at a cost, however, as they faced a great deal of tribulation. In his letter to the church, Jesus reminded the church that he was greater than death and challenged the church to remain faithful no matter what. Let’s turn our attention to Pastor Brian…

On this weekly episode of FACTS, Stephen will discuss Paul's statement in Colossians 4:16 about "the letter from Laodicea." Is this a missing letter that we no longer have access to?

Jeremiah, chapter 44, contains the last written words of the prophet Jeremiah. Unsurprisingly, it doesn't contain a lot of good news.

Caught up in rampant idolatry, specifically worshiping a goddess kn…
