7 Letters for 7 Churches EPHESUS
7-Letters-for-7-Churches-EpThis week we began a new series entitled, "7 Letters for 7 Churches" where we are examining the letters given to the Apostle John as he penned the book of Revelation. While these were seven literal churches located in Asia, the contents of each letter are applicable to the body of Christ today. The challenge for us is to genuinely reflect on the accolades and the admonishments and then adjust our lives accordingly.  In this first installment, we look at the message for the Ephesian church.

    Confident-Back3Elijah experienced a victory on Mt. Carmel that was three years in the making.  He found himself spiritually on top of the world, but it only took a threat by the evil Queen Jezebel to knock him from his feet and onto his face.  A place of fear, anxiety, depression, and hopelessness.  We can learn from Elijah's experience the way to deal with the times we find ourselves removed from the mountain and in the valley below.

    Standing in the Gap
    Series: general
    In Ezekiel chapter 22:30, God is looking for a man to stand in the gap for His people, Israel and lead them out of idolatry. The tragedy is, other than the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel, God cannot find such a man.  The world today finds itself caught in the same rebelliousness and rejection of God as Israel and it needs men of God who will be strong leaders and rely on Him.  Are you willing to stand in the gap?

    It’s OK To Rest
    Series: general
    Our lives are hectic and we find ourselves working to satisfy the demands of our families, our jobs, and the church.  We burn so much energy constantly "doing" that the effectiveness of our work is negatively impacted.  We learn in Mark chapter six Jesus understood the importance of rest when He instructed the twelve disciples to find a secluded place and rest after a time of intensive ministry.  We cannot pour into the lives of others if we ourselves are running on empty.

He quotes Deuteronomy and says we are to love the Lord with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength. But what does that mean and how is it demonstrated in our daily lives?

    Do You Shine?
    Series: general
    Light of the World Christian Stock PhotosIn Exodus 34 we see Moses descend from Mount Sinai and immediately the people noticed he was shining.  The glory of God that surrounded him on the mountain left a literal impact upon Moses himself.  Over time, however,  the glory of God would fade until Moses went to commune with God once more.  In 2 Corinthians three, Paul teaches us that because of the Holy Spirit who now dwells in believers, we should shine permanently and the veil has permanently been removed from our faces.  Unfortunately, we sometimes put the veil back in place and do not reflect to the world the inward reality.  The question we must ask ourselves is, "Do I Shine?"
