Jesus wants you to overcome; to stand firm in the call he’s given you. He wants you to persevere in the face of obstacles and opposition. Revelation 3:1-13 is proof of it. Written in letter form, his words are personal and prophetic. They cut through all the religious formalities, frenzied activity and cultural accommodation of our lives. It’s a call to wake up to what we’ve received and hold fast to who Jesus is.

House Groups typically meet in homes two to three times a month across the county, where we spend time together, often sharing food, discussing the Scriptures, praying, and looking for opportunities to serve one another and the city. They are vital to the health of Local Church St. Pete – providing space for connection, care and conversation around God’s Word and more.

We had a conversation with Kristin Van Fossen and Camille Hunter who lead a House Group with their husbands. Listen as hey share their own experience with House Group, discuss why it matters, what they would say to someone who’s “on the fence" about joining a House Group and ways God has been at work in their House Groups.

Have you ever wondered what Jesus would say to the church? In Revelation 2:12-29, Jesus pastors his people with words that carry both warmth and weight. His message gives encouragement that inspires faithfulness, correction where compromise has crept in, and promises that strengthen us under pressure. The spiritual direction that Jesus offers is not only for the early church. His words continue to affirm, refine, and motivate all who are willing to listen now.
