Jesus commended churches that held fast to truth. In Revelation, He addressed seven local churches and in His letter to Pergamum, He spoke of those who “overcome.”  So, who are the overcomers? Can you and I be overcomers and receive the promises only overcomers can claim?

Teachers play a crucial role in the formation of our youth. In the same way, Bible teachers have enormous influence on members of a church. False doctrines can be easily spread. In today’s message, Jesus tells an ancient church to reject the teachings He hates.

From the earliest days of the church, there has been a battle to protect the truth from an onslaught of false teaching. In the book of Revelation, Jesus singled out the church at Pergamum (in what is now Turkey). In the strongest terms, he decried their willingness to adopt false teachings advocating immorality. Could this happen today?

Jesus cursing a fig tree isn’t something we normally think about during Holy Week. But in today’s message, Pastor Lutzer shows how bearing fruit is important to God, and was a lesson Jesus taught His disciples just one day after riding into Jerusalem.

The triumphal entry of Christ was both a joyous and a solemn occasion. In today’s message, Pastor Lutzer gives us a crucial lesson that Jesus taught in connection with His triumphal entry into Jerusalem.
March 25, 2013
In the church of Jesus, persecution is assured, and there is no “Get Out of Jail Free” card. In fact, Jesus urges us to be faithful unto death, that we might obtain the crown of life. It’s not a promise of health and wealth, but it is a promise of eventual triumph.

Is there anything you would give your life for? The early followers of Jesus often became martyrs. The word martyr simply means “witness.” Even today, in many places, being a witness for Christ can cost you your life. Jesus knows every time one of His followers makes the supreme sacrifice, and today, He commends a church willing to follow Him even to death.
