LISTEN, LEARN AND BE ENCOURAGED!

Finally, a breath of fresh air!

The Church of Philadelphia is the only church (among the seven of Revelation Chapters 2 & 3) that the Lord genuinely praises without any criticism at all. It’s the church of brotherly love, the church of the open door, and the church of the true gospel. If there’s any church at all that we should strive to emulate, this is it!

This week, Pastor Randy encourages everyone at Lakeview to become a Philadelphian. Take advantage of open doors, don’t fall prey to slick-talking false teachers, and wait (with great anticipation) for the return of the Lord. But more importantly, it’s the historic and profound example of love from this ancient church that we should latch onto. Because, when all else fails and the going gets tough, it’s only love that will keep us together, and enliven our spirits, as long as we have the courage to persevere… with JESUS!

We’ll have more to share next week! In the meantime, check out :
