    Revelation Study: Churches of Thyatira and Sardis : chapter 2 and 3

    18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write, ‘These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass: 19 “I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience; and as for your works, the last are more than the first. 20 Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. 21 And I gave her time to repent of her sexual immorality, and she did not repent. 22 Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. 23 I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works. 24 “Now to you I say, and to the rest in Thyatira, as many as do not have this doctrine, who have not known the depths of Satan, as they say, I will put on you no other burden. 25 But hold fast what you have till I come. 26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— 27 ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’— as I also have received from My Father; 28 and I will give him the morning star. 29 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ The Dead Church 3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die, for I have not found your works perfect before God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. 4 You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. 5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. 6 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”  All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries

Please share it in 2026! Rev. 2:8-17   “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, ‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

And you hold fast to My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days in which Antipas was My faithful martyr, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. But I have a few things against you, because you have there those who hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols, and to commit sexual immorality. Thus you also have those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate. Repent, or else I will come to you quickly and will fight against them with the sword of My mouth. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.” ’ All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries

    Revelation Study: 1:11-20 through chapter 2 verse 7

    Revelation v 11:“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” 12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches. Chapter 2:1-7 To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands: 2 “I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; 3 and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. 4 Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent. 6 But this you have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.” ’ Footnotes: All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries

    Is Jesus Just a Myth Combining Pagan gods Mithra, Horus and Krishna?

    Let's address the social media propaganda of some atheists and cultists that keep pushing  false assertions that Jesus Christ never existed and He is just another religious myth that followers blindly believe- In the past few decades, many books and films such as Zeitgeist, Religulous, and the Davinci Code made bold claims that Jesus Christ was a fabricated myth combining Eastern mythology and pagan gods. With great speed atheists and later, social media influencers spread these lies and stated them as FACT.  The problem with these specific assertions is these atheist hollywood producers and authors were getting their information from biased researchers and not from the original source documents that speak of Horus, Mithra and Krishna-   when the movies came out Prof. Peter Brandt, Dept. of History, University of Memphis said “I have been asked by friends about the claims made. I did see the movie Religulous and they got it completely wrong comparing Horus to Jesus. None of their claims for Horus were true.”   Egyptologists and Eastern Ancient Text researchers debunked these false claims years ago when the first comparisons were made.  -Prof. Ronald Leprohon, Egyptian Studies, University of Toronto stated, I quote: “I’m afraid that none of the claims made in these movies are true. There is not one shred of evidence for such a thing.” Skeptics claim Horus and Jesus were born of a virgin named Mary: the Actual ancient source texts say that Horus was born from the Goddess Isis who was married to Osiris who was killed, dismembered, put back together by Isis, had sex with her and had Horus. They claim that Horus and Jesus were both born in a cave, announced by angels and witnessed by shepherds: The story of Horus says that he was born in a marsh or a swamp. No mention of angels or shepherds in the text. They claim Jesus and Horus’ birth announced by stars and angels: No stars in Horus text, no angels Both were visited by 3 Kings Horus text does not mention 3 kings. By the way neither do the Gospels. Wise men, not kings, from the East traveled and brought Jesus 3 types of gifts. We have no idea how many wise men visited Jesus.  Horus and Jesus both taught in the temple at age 12, were baptized, and their baptizers executed: In the Horus text there is no indication that he taught in any temple, he was depicted as a weakling and hid away by his mother. There is also no account of him being baptized, thus no executed baptizer. Both Horus and Jesus walked on water: In the Horus text there are some mentions of healing and magic when he was a child. No mention of walking on water. Both had 12 disciples: Simply a false claim. Both raised a “Lazarus” from the dead. Osiris was brought back to life by Isis. Horus avenged his father. No mention of any type of Lazarus figure Both crucified and rose from the dead Horus’ death is never mentioned in the texts. Both were known as the Truth, the Light , the anointed son, good shepherd, etc. Horus was known as a sun god, Horus the son of Isis, and the “god of the eastern sky and horizon.” Both born on December 25th Egyptians did not record birth dates thus this is a total fabrication. Jesus was not born on Dec. 25th either. The idea that Jesus’ birth should be celebrated on Dec. 25th was a 4th century Catholic adoption to coincide with the pagan Winter Solstice festivals. Jesus was more than likely born in the Spring according to tradition outside of catholicism.   All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries

    The Doctrine of Saving Faith: why it should matter to the local Church

    Hebrews 11:1  “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" Theologically Saving Faith is the belief, on God’s authority, of whatsoever is revealed in His Word concerning Christ; accepting and resting upon Him alone for justification and eternal life. It is wrought in the heart by the Holy Spirit and is accompanied by saving grace and leads to a life of holiness. Faith is a primary concept of Christianity. Without faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation one cannot be a Christian.  Gal. 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.  Colossians 2:6-7 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught and overflowing with thankfulness.  So Biblical Faith is an active confidence in God. Not ethereal wishful thinking but belief in the truth of Jesus Christ, the object of our faith. Faith is a response directed toward an object and defined by what is believed. Faith is only as good as its object. You can have faith that an old chair will hold you up as you are seated. When the chair breaks and you hit the floor you realize your faith in its stability was betrayed. Spiritually, the object of our faith must always be the sure foundation of the Person of Jesus Christ.  Faith is the instrument by which a person is saved. We are justified before God by faith and by faith we live out our relationship with Christ (Romans 3:26). Jesus is the very real evidence of things not yet seen. Why? Because Christ has risen from the dead and in doing so has prepared the way for all believers to enter Heaven and enjoy eternal life in Him. Even though we do not see Heaven in this earthly life we are in fact citizens now if we are in Christ   Phil. 3:20-21 True Christianity is different than other religions. All other world religions ask you to perform works, rituals, or meet man made requirements and rules to achieve a reward. At the end of your life you may, or may not, go to “heaven” as the supreme deity decides your fate according to how you performed during your earthly existence.  These religious systems offer no guarantee or hope of being loved by the specified deity or obtaining eternal life after death. So Faith in false religions produce hopelessness. But With Christianity our salvation is settled at the beginning, not the end. Faith in Christ places us in a permanent, loving, righteous relationship with God. There is no question what will happen to us when we die.  We are not bound by guilt, ritual, fear and disillusionment. At death Heaven is our eternal home and no power on earth can stop us from entering into the presence and security of Christ.  When we are saved we place our faith in the lordship and power of Jesus. “We walk by faith, not by sight” II Cor.5:7    Christ and our relationship to Him determines our priorities. Faith in Jesus removes our sin and shifts our allegiance from worldly ambitions and relationships to Christ alone. Our faith in God will change our worldview.  Charles Spurgeon once said, “When you can’t trace God’s hand, trust His heart.” Sometimes we do not see God working in our lives. We can feel isolated, fearful, and anxious. This is when walking by faith is crucial. Jesus is mighty to save and He is our solid, unshakable object of faith.  All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries

    Whatever Happened To Sin?

    let’s start this series with the doctrine of Sin and the Fall of Man. many religious systems don’t believe in the concept of sin. Today we see the rapid rise of Christian denominations that no longer preach against sinful behavior or teach the doctrine of original sin. the word for sin is Hamartia (ham-ar-tee’-ah) meaning an offense, or missing the mark.  an archer shooting an arrow that misses it’s target the truth is we are all sinners. Not just people who do bad things. The reality is we ARE sin. It is in our very nature as humans because we are all part of Adam’s bloodline. When Adam disobeyed God, Adam and the world were plunged into sin...as Ezekial 18:20 says, “The soul who sins shall die.” Genesis chapter 3 and let’s see in context what God says about the origin of sin.  V1. Now the serpent was more cunning than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, “Has God indeed said, ‘You shall not eat of every tree of the garden’?”  2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden; 3 but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, ‘You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.’ 4 Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. 5 For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.   Adam the first man, in Hebrew the word a-dam can mean a dustling, red man, “The blood man”- Adam, a real person, not a mythical figure, he is the first man representing all of mankind, which is called the Federal Headship of Adam theologically. Through him the curse of death and sin corrupted all of God’s creation that in its original state was perfect.  Romans 5:12  Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned.  God told Adam if “you eat thereof you will die”, the day Adam disobeyed the Lord in the Garden he died spiritually and then 900 years later he died physically. He died spiritually having no desire for God, alienated from God. And now that is the condition of the whole world, you and I, and why God would have to judge us then and now.  But Jesus came to reconcile the world to God, to be the Bridge over that canyon of sin and death for fallen man to be made holy and righteous once again through His blood. The reconciliation is Jesus’ life. (Col. 1:20)  This means the worst person on the planet can be saved because God has His arms outstretched saying “You can come to me” whoever you are, you can come to God – A Holy God that must judge us can now reach down and save us because of the cross of Jesus Christ. IF you will come to Him. Jesus has done it all - repent of your sin and believe and Follow Him. That’s why it’s called the Gospel, "Good News!" Humanity can only be made alive in Jesus Christ. It is through Jesus that God reconciles the world to Himself. How? By placing our faith and trust in Him as Lord and Savior, thus securing the forgiveness of all our sin, now being made righteous before God, and having eternal life. We are born again and made a new creation in Christ. Faith in the only One who has fulfilled the Law perfectly.

    The USA Suicide Epidemic and the Church: how do we deal with the unthinkable?

    In 2021, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatrists declared a national health emergency for child and teen mental health.   LifeWay researchers found suicide impacts the local church greatly but few resources are available for those struggling-  poll revealed 76% of churchgoers believe leaders should address this issue more fully and offer better help to those struggling emotionally and with mental illness.  Sadly, many Christians know of someone who has killed themselves within their family, work, or church circles.   Suicide is a monstrous beast that seems to devour all aspects of the survivor’s lives. But Jesus is bigger than sorrow. Jesus is greater than death. He will make a path to healing and life for the Christian bereaved. Will life ever be the same? No, but it can still hold meaning and produce fruit.  God understands why the deceased took their life and He is also aware of what it will take to bring hope to those left behind to deal with the tragedy, pain and grief. When the bereaved eventually come out of the grieving process they will find that God went with them and before them every step of the way.   It is important for the Christian bereaved to live in community with the Lord and His people, the church. The Apostle Paul writes:   “Blessed be our God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4    We know that suicides and suicidal ideation are a reality facing the American church. we must be prepared to meet this challenge. The enemy would have us throw up our hands in defeat and turn it over to limited secular solutions but we are the ones who actually have the answer to human hopelessness.  As we proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ we can provide resources for our communities to express deep pain, shame and guilt and despair. Trained Lay counselors and MH Coaches within a local church is a first step.  Suicide does not have to tear relationships apart for the Christian bereaved. Families can pull together and their relationships can become stronger because they are holding on to one another within an environment of understanding and patience. Genuine community is a tremendous weapon against isolation, fear, shame and despair.  Ultimately we must look to the Lord who is the Rock of our salvation, the Strong Tower and Fortress. He will get us home. If that loved one that took their life was in Christ, we will see them again. Nothing can separate us from the love of God once we are in Him.   “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? (Romans 8:31)  That scriptural truth means that even I, cannot be against me. Trusting the Lord patiently and running to His Word is vital as we climb toward the light after such a profound loss. God knows our every need and He is faithful to meet those needs in His time and abiding love.  If you would like to go through the Youth Mental Health Coach certification training with your church or school staff please contact Darryl at darrylriden@gmail.com or through cpmlife.org. We would be happy to bring this training to your organization.  Let us know how we can assist.   FEEDSPOT: Top 20 podcasts for 2025 in Youth Culture Category: CPM Sessions https://podcast.feedspot.com/youth_culture_podcasts/ All music content written and performed by Darryl Riden, Taylor Riden, Caiti Riden (c) 2026 Contact info: cpmlife.org Christ Powered Ministries
