Proverbs 1:1-7 
Sermon Synopsis 
Wisdom comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth! Solomon, as a young king, asked God to give him a discerning heart to govern God’s people and to distinguish between right and wrong. Through God's grace, God made Solomon wise, and Solomon wrote several books of the Bible, one of which is Proverbs for those who wanna be wise. Proverbs challenge us to gain the wisdom that brings all of life under the rule and reign of God as we are mesmerized by the Lord, who is the object of our wonder and who motivates us, inspires us, and takes our breath away.

Revelation 3 
Sermon Synopsis 
Churches are created, called, and commissioned by Jesus to be His revolutionary witnesses. Jesus is not tolerant of His church's sins and failures but is patient in their sanctification process. We must live in a state and posture of repentance as the Spirit of God searches and communicates with us so that we will be fruitful and useful as we are victorious and effective in the world.

Sermon Synopsis: 
Revelation 3:14-22 
The Church at Laodicea was in a place of spiritual lukewarmness that made Jesus sick because He knew their deeds and that the fruit of their lives did not match their faith. They were good for nothing. Jesus calls us to live useful lives and live in the light of the King, giving Him credit for every good thing. When there’s unity between our deeds/fruit and our declaration/faith, we become useful to the King in advancing His Kingdom!

For the Church in Philadelphia, Jesus had only good things to say about them, and He said He knew their deeds. As revolutionaries, we live to please Christ, and we see Jesus work at making us pillars that weather every storm. Lives that are pleasing to Christ transform us into pillars made by Christ.

Letters to His Church | Week 7 | Josh Laxton | Sermon 11am

Jesus challenges the Church at Sardis to wake up and come alive again. He urges them to strengthen what remains so that everything does not die off. He reminds this church of their faith and commands them to repent and regain their lost faith. Unlike the Church at Sardis, revolutionary living comes by way of a church that is filled and empowered with the Holy Spirit rather than by being a church that has the appearance and reputation of “Christian” religion. Our call is to be revolutionaries who care more about what Jesus thinks rather than what the world thinks.

From John 15:5 
Sermon Synopsis 
Jesus is the true Vine, and as His disciples, we are to stay connected to Him. We will produce fruit as we are attached to and abide in Jesus. As we remain connected, God will take care of the rest, and everything depends on Him. When we are connected to the Vine with Jesus in our lives, we are able to love others as Jesus loves being a positive influence on the world, reaching out to our neighbors and nations with the Good News.

The Importance of Connection | Lee Stephenson (Sermon)

Jesus calls believers to recklessly scatter the seed as we invite others to encounter God's love, grace, and the message of Jesus as we share our faith everywhere and all the time. We scatter the seed as we love others as Jesus does, pray for people when God opens the door, engage freely and openly in spiritual conversations, and tell our story and His Story of faith and transformation. 
 
Luke 8: 4-8

Revelation 2:12-17 
 
Sermon Synopsis: 
Revolutionary living requires actions aligned with our authority, Jesus. While the Church at Pergamum was true and faithful during severe persecution, it had allowed false teaching to compromise and undermine its faith. Jesus told them to repent. If they did not repent, He would wage war against them. Jesus told them He would reward them if they would repent, renew, and recommit and make their actions align with Jesus, their authority.

Revelation 2:8-11 
 
Sermon Synopsis 
The Church in Smyrna shows how revolutionary living means you’ll die for Jesus even though you’ll face difficulties because of Jesus. This church was suffering and in poverty, and they were fearful of what they were facing. Jesus encouraged them in their time of suffering by stating that they were rich and that if they faithfully faced death for their faith's sake, He would give them the crown of life.

Revelation Chapter 2 
 
Sermon Synopsis for August 24-25, 2024 
 
Revolutionary living requires love for Jesus rather than a religious lifestyle that might look like Jesus. Jesus revealed to the Church in Ephesus that He rules and reigns over the whole world, recognizes what they do well, and rebukes and requires them to deal with sin. Further, He revealed that He would remove their Church if they didn’t deal with sin, and He would reward them if they overcame it. Jesus tells them to return to their first love for Him so they can live a revolutionary life and experience victory in and through a loving relationship with Him.

Sermon Synopsis for July 7-8, 2024 
Psalm 30 calls on us to have prayerful dependence on God, which reflects our perspective, prayerful deliverance by God, which reflects our position, and praiseworthy declaration of God, which demonstrates our persistence. As we praise and give thanksgiving to God, in good circumstances and difficult times, we realize His love for us and His ability to "turn my wailing into dancing" and His ability to remove my "sackcloth and clothed me with joy." (Psalm 30:11)
