Pastor Dan Nickerson preaches from 2 Timothy 1:6-8
#42 – The Lukewarm Church
With Pastor Dan Nickerson – April 16th, 2021
(Revelation 3:14-22)…..14 “And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: 15 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. 16 So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.17 Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know …
God’s Anointed Remains
No matter how dark the times, or just how wicked our nation becomes, we can rest with assurance that Jesus Christ, the Righteous King, still reigns as Lord and Ruler over all the earth (Matthew 28:18) (Colossians 1:15-18). His Righteousness and His justice will be made known to all God’s creation, (Philippians 2:5-11).
Notice, David’s question, “Why do the heathen rage (ban together), and the people plot (plan) a vain thing?” The heathen are the unbelieving, those who reject the living God, who reject His Word, who will …
Come – See – Go – And Tell
One of the greatest events of history (if not the greatest) is the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ from the grave. When the two women called Mary came to the tomb on the morning after Christ rose, they were greeted by an angel of the Lord with these words,“ (Matthew 28:6-7)…..He is not here; for He is risen as He said, Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed …
#41 – Hold Fast
Pastor Dan Nickerson – April 15th, 2021
As we continue looking at the church in Philadelphia we are encouraged by theses verses because they reminded the believers in Philadelphia, as well as us today, that the Lord is coming back soon, and the Christian is obligated to be looking for His return (Matthew 24:27) (Luke 21:25-28) (Acts 1:10-11) (2 Timothy 4:8) (Revelation 1:7). We are to live everyday in the light of His soon coming. Why is this so important for the church? The answer lies in the fact that those who are looking for …
The Wonderful Word Of God
“What caused the Reformation?” Many people might point to Martin Luther and his 95 Theses as the cause. But if you were to ask Luther himself, he would refuse to take any credit. Instead, he would put the focus entirely on God and His Word. Near the end of his life, Luther declared, “All I have done is put forth, preach, and write the Word of God, and apart from this I have done nothing….It is the Word that has done great things.…I have done nothing; the Word has done …
#40 – Hold On To Your Crown
So we have seen and heard that Jesus reveals Himself to the church in Philadelphia as the One who is in control of everything, and that He is Holy and He is True. Described as the One Who is holding the “Key of David,” being faithful to provide all we need in order to do what He calls us to do. He is enthroned as, and recognized as, the head of the (His) church (Colossians 1:16-18). This was a church that was walking in obedience to …
#39 – I’ll Make Them Come and Worship Before Your Feet
With Pastor Dan Nickerson – April 13th, 2021
(Revelation 3:7-13)…..7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, …
A Genuine Faith
Just recently I preached on the genuine faith that was declared to be in Timothy by Paul’s testimony (2 Timothy 1:5). Still thinking about what genuine faith would look like in the life of a true Christian, I thought I would share a little more on the topic. So, let me start by saying authentic faith is the confident assurance in events not yet seen (Hebrews 11:1). Faith is not a call to believe in things when common sense tells you not to. Faith is not a mindless …
#38 – Hold On To The Word
Pastor Dan Nickerson – April 12th, 2021
(Revelation 3:7-13)…..7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write,‘These things says He who is holy, He who is true, “He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens”: 8 “I know your works. See, I have set before you an open door, and no one can shut it; for you have a little strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name. 9 Indeed I will make those of the synagogue of …
