The Church Of Jesus Christ:  Its Candlestick Metaphor

Nov 23, 2025    Dr. John S. Waldrip

Pastor Waldrip delivers a powerful biblical exposition on the candlestick metaphor for the Church of Jesus Christ found in Revelation 1–2. Exploring how local, visible congregations are likened to golden candlesticks that lift up and display the light of Christ and the light of believers’ testimonies to a dark world, he emphasizes the vital role of the local church in exalting Jesus, shining the gospel brightly, and warning of the serious consequences if a church fails to fulfill its calling. A thoughtful and Scripture-rich message for anyone wanting a deeper understanding of why God designed the local church and why active involvement in it matters.
