Revive Our Hearts: The Sin of Tolerance--Revelation: Thyatira
As Nancy explores Jesus’ letter to the church in Thyatira, she warns us of the danger of compromising both sound doctrine and holy living. Plus, she reminds us that as believers, God calls us to be separate from the world and helps us grapple with what it means to engage the culture but live in a way that brings glory to Him.

Revive Our Hearts: Compromising Truth--Revelation: Pergamum
As Nancy explores Jesus’ letter in Revelation to the church in Pergamum, she shows us just how embracing the world’s standards rather than following Christ puts us at risk of losing our very character and identity as the people of God. Jesus knows what we’re up against and will give us the grace and strength to hold fast to our faith in Him.

Revive Our Hearts: Faithfulness and the Crown of Life--Revelation: Smyrna
Nancy continues her study in Revelation by exploring the letter to the church in Smyrna—one that experienced intense persecution and suffering. She reminds us that in times of trials, it’s not as important to know why as to know Who, and she challenges us to lift our eyes above our circumstances and look to Jesus for comfort and strength.

Revive Our Hearts: Your First Love Relationship--Revelation: Ephesus
Nancy explores Christ’s letter to the Ephesian church in the book of Revelation and points out the importance of being motivated by a love for Christ and love for others in all we do; otherwise, our service, activity, and busyness are all in vain. As you listen, may you rediscover your first love and rekindle your passion for the Lord.

Revive Our Hearts: His Message for His Church--Revelation
Nancy outlines the reasons why it’s both important and necessary for Christians to be part of a local church as well as how we need to go beyond just attending but be an active and contributing member. Each one of the churches in Revelation shows us how to deal with issues that the 21st century church is facing today.

Revive Our Hearts: A Vision of the Glorified Christ--Revelation
Nancy begins a study in Revelation and helps us understand that it isn’t a puzzle we’re supposed to put together but a revelation of Christ that we’re supposed to obey. As she points to the future promise we have in Christ’s return, you’ll be encouraged, blessed, sobered, and challenged to let this book affect the way you live today.

Electric safety in baptism pools: electrocution danger for pastor or leader in church baptistry
Never, ever, use a wired microphone in a baptismal pool. A recent case in Texas is only the latest of a long series of tragedies around the world, with church leaders being electrocuted in pools. Even a normally harmless leakage of stray volts into a microphone is lethal when a person is immersed in water.
