    The Church at Thyatira Rev. 2:18-29

    The message to the church at Thyatira, the smallest church of the ones of Revelation 2 and 3, is the longest letter from the Lord Jesus Christ to any of the seven letters of Revelation 2 and 3. It appears that the Lord viewed this church and its compromise with world paganism in Thyatira, as among, if not, one of the gravest dangers being experienced by the churches of John's day and OUR DAY. In this letter the Lord teaches them how to resist compromise with the world around them and how to counter its influences in their church, as well as in our churches. The solution is to "hold fast" using the discernment between good and evil, that they had learned. This video suggests how to learn discernment, for it is not inherent in Christians, and the need to exercise discernment in their lives according to Hebrews 5:14. The Lord's message is extremely important to we who are living near the end of the Church Age. 0:00 The City of Thyatira 7:38 The Church at Thyatira 10:42 What They did Right! 12:06 The Lord's Rebuke for What They did Wrong! 22:06 The Lord's servants at Thyatira 24:49 The Bride of Christ's Future 35:34 What Must We Do!

    The Church at Pergamos Rev 3:1-6

    The church at Pergamos (Pergamum) was a church in the middle of a spiritual conflict or war, just at the name, Pergamos, has the root meaning of watchtower or fortified structure. This city was famous as a major cultural, intellectual, and religious (pagan) center of the Roman world. Known for the second largest library of the empire, the "seat" of Satan, and the temple for worshiping Asclepios, the Greek god of medicine, healing, and rejuvenation, and symbolized by a serpent-entwined staff. For the believers in the church, they were surrounded by spiritual enemies and at the same time enemies within the membership. Learn how they and we, as the future Bride of Christ can know victory in a sinful world.

    The Church at Smyrna Revelation 2:8-11

    The city of Smyrna, whose name means myrrh, is forever remembered as a city in which its citizens constantly faced the sweetness of life and the bitterness of death every day of their life. For the church, their poverty and persecution often led to a longing for comfort in their world. In this letter, Jesus Christ offers them and us, three aspects of comfort when under trials that would bring the ultimate reward to all true believers. This letter reminds us uniquely of the Lord as The King Who loves His future bride as we see Psalm 45 speaks of His garments smelling of myrrh. 0:00 Introduction - Psalm 45 9:17 The 1st Aspect of Comfort 17:12 The 2nd Aspect of Comfort 22:09 The 3rd Aspect of Comfort 26:34 The Lord's Promise to His Future Bride

    The Church at Ephesus Rev. 2:1-7

    What "First Love" had the Church of Ephesus lost or more correctly, abandoned. Thirty years after Paul's founding of the church in Ephesus in 60 AD and the ongoing teaching by Apollos, Timothy, and John, the Lord commends this church for its intense ongoing spiritual labor unto weariness in serving the Lord. The Lord offers no criticism of their actions and spiritual lives with respect to these activities, except for the "nevertheless" of verse 4…. Nevertheless, literally "despite all," emphasizes a very strong word against them. This busy, industrious, laboring, discerning, persevering church that hated what the Lord hated apparently abandoned their "first love" of Him! In fact they had not merely lost their first love as if it was something lost by accident and could not be found; rather this was a deliberate action on their part to turn their back and walk away from their first love. Using the clues in the passage this video will define the "First Love." all believers should all their lives. 0:00 Church at Ephesus 4:40 Things "which are" 13:00 Commendation of Ephesus 23:02 The "First Love" - That Which was Lacking 23:24 The first of 5 clues as to what "First Love" is 36:23 Defining "First Love"

    Portrait of the Lord Jesus Christ - Rev. 1:9-20

    How do you picture the Lord Jesus Christ? This video is a study of the only correct and true portrait of the Lord in the Bible. Following a brief study of John the Apostle as portrayed in verse 9 and 10 this video offers an in-depth look of the Lord Jesus Christ as portrayed in verses 11-20. He is pictured as the overseer of all true churches. Uniquely, verses 14-16, is the only physical description of the Lord in His glorified body, as He is today and forever. This is the same infinite God-Man Who will return to the earth to rule and reign with His Bride, the church, for 1000 years and on into eternity.

    Are We Living in the Last Days of the Church-Age? - pt 1

    This "Breakfast with Rob" will study three characteristics that uniquely come together as a signal of the last days of the Church-Age. Only when all three characteristics are present, will the stage be set for the Lord to bring His Bride, all true believers, home at the Rapture. In this video, Part 1, we will see the first characteristic: Worldwide spiritual apostasy in a majority of Christian Churches In our next video, Part 2 - will examine current trends that are allowing apostasy to enter their churches. In Part 3 - the second signal: Lawlessness at the individual, national, and international levels In Part 4 - the third signal: Hatred and vilification of God and those who the world perceives as representing Him 0:00 Are We Living in the Last Days of the Church Age? 3:27 The Start of the Church's Last Days - When? 18:56 The Season of Apostasy - Now!

    How to be Controlled/Filled by the Holy Spirit

    The greatest need of the Christian is to "abide" in Christ by being filled/controlled by the Holy Spirit for life and service to the Lord. The Bible does not give specific steps to take to be filled. Instead, it teaches a believer the principles of how to have a consistent walk with the Spirit. Unlike the Holy Spirit permanent indwelling within the true believer at salvation; walking and being controlled by the Spirit is a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour, day-by-day choice by the believer to yield to the Spirit and to depend upon His direction and leading. Being lead by the Spirit is not automatic, it takes a conscious effort by a believer, who must learn to walk with and talk with the Spirit. Please join us now to learn how. 0:00 Review of part 1 – What is the Filling of the Spirit? 1:51 The Key to being filled or controlled by the Spirit. 12:31 The needed desire to walk with and talk with the Spirit. 13:52 Learning to walk at the Spirit's pace and not our own. 17:36 Walking consistently with the Spirit. 22:05 Talking with and hearing the Spirit during your walk with Him. 24:23 Yielding to and dependent upon the Spirit. 25:46 Summary of the actions in our life needed to be controlled by the Spirit.

    What is the Filling of the Holy Spirit - pt. 1

    The greatest need for every individual is to trust Jesus Christ as personal Savior. The Holy Spirit of God then enters into the new believer and permanently dwells within him or her as a seal or promise of future redemption and glorification of the body. Although the Spirit will always reside with the believer, offering comfort and spiritual guidance, the greatest need of the Christian is to "abide" in Christ by yielding control to the Holy Spirit' leading. This is a daily act of the will for every believer. The filling of the Holy Spirit allows the Spirit to guide the thoughts, speech, attitudes, conduct, and labors—in response to certain conditions met by the believer. Part 2 of this series will explain how to "meet" these conditions by walking with the Spirit, in total dependence upon Him. 0:00 Introduction 2:13 What is the Filling of the Holy Spirit 9:56 Fundamental Truth of Being Filled
