"Pergamum: When Tolerance Leads to Compromise (Rev 2:12-17)" Pastor Jeff Jantzi, Sept 27, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when tolerance begins to lead us into compromise?The Christians in Pergamum lived in a city filled with competing loyalties, beliefs, and pressures. They had demonstrated remarkable courage and remained faithful to Jesus even when it cost them dearly. And yet, somewhere along the way, they had also begun tolerating ideas and practices that were slowly pulling them away from him.So, how can we remain gracious and loving toward the people around us without allowing the values of the c
"Smyrna: Faithful Under Pressure (Revelation 2:8-11)" Dear Church, Week 2, (Pastor Jeff Jantzi, Sept 20, 2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What happens when following Jesus begins to cost you something? The church in Smyrna knew what it meant to live under pressure. In a city fiercely loyal to Rome, their allegiance to Jesus brought suffering, opposition, and significant loss. Yet in the middle of it all, Jesus spoke a word they desperately needed to hear. What might it look like for us to remain faithful to Jesus when we find ourselves under pressure? This Sunday, Pastor Jeff teaches on the second letter in Revelation (Revelation
"Ephesus: When Love Grows Cold" Pastor Jeff Jantzi, Sunday Sept 13, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can a church believe all the right things, do all the right things — and still be missing something essential? This Sunday we begin our new fall teaching series, "Dear Church: The Seven Letters of Revelation", starting with Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7. Ephesus was a strong, established church with an impressive history — a church that knew the Scriptures, cared deeply about truth, and had remained faithful through difficult circumstances. And yet, when Jesus looked
"Contending for the Faith" The Book of Jude, Pastor Jeff Jantzi (Aug 30, 2026) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this short but urgent letter, Jude sounds the alarm about a danger that can quietly poison the life of the church: distorted grace. It is the kind of false teaching that sounds Christian, but turns God’s marvellous grace into permission to live however we want. Jude calls the church to contend for the faith — not as angry people looking for a fight, but as beloved people who belong to Jesus. Because the grace of God in Christ does not leave us breathing in poison and call it freedom. It forgi
"The Ongoing Work of Restoration" (Nehemiah 8-13), Pastor Jeff Jantzi, July 19 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if God’s restoring work isn’t finished when things look better on the outside? In Nehemiah 8–13, the wall has been rebuilt, the city is secure, and restoration seems complete. But God’s work goes deeper. He restores his people through his Word, leads them from repentance into joy, reshapes their everyday lives, and points them to Jesus — our great Restorer. This Sunday, as we conclude our series "After the Ruin", we’ll see that after the ruin, God doesn’t just rebuild what’s broken around u
