  • TSS #8: Revelation 3:7-13
    Mar 20 2023

    In this episode, we explore the intriguing message of Revelation 3:7-13 as it pertains to the ancient city of Philadelphia.

    "Philadelphia" is a combination of two Greek words: love (phileo) and brother (adelphos), hence "City of Brotherly Love." Situated in an area of great seismic activity, Philadelphia was no stranger to earthquake devastation. Yet despite these challenges, the city was known for its resilience.

    We will explore questions like: what was the "open door" that Jesus spoke of, and how did it relate to the people of Philadelphia's struggles? What lessons can we learn from their resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity?

  • TSS #3: Revelation 2:1-7
    Jan 31 2023

    Join Eric and Josh as they delve into the intriguing letter to the church in Ephesus. Discover the true meaning behind Christ's charge for them to return to their "first love". Explore the mysterious Nicolaitans and uncover their role in early Christian history.

    We'll also uncover the underlying structure of the letters to the churches, and unravel how they all share a common narrative flow as follows:

    1. Christ presents Himself with specific attributes particularly suitable to the situation of each church, faith which provides the basis for overcoming the specific problem faced
    2. The condition and the particular problem are reviewed
    3. On the basis of the situation and problem, Christ issues either an encouragement to either persevere or to repent in order to avoid judgment
    4. This then forms the ground for Christ issuing a call for the churches to respond by heeding "hearing"
    5. On the basis of a positive response "overcoming", Christ promises the inheritance of eternal life with Him
