2026 Focus

📖 Southdale Focus for 2026

After studying Revelation's 7 churches in 2025, Southdale Bible Chapel leadership have identified 4 key lessons shaping our 2026 ministry.

❤️ Love as Top Priority (Ephesus, Laodicea)

• Christ-centered love over traditional church metrics
• Success can be measured by caring for church family & community
• Leaders must lead through repentance and serving with zeal
• No lukewarm Christianity

🛡️ Stand Firm (Pergamum, Thyatira, Laodicea)

• Engage our culture without Biblical compromise
• The Bible alone dictates lifestyle choices
• Holiness over worldliness and materialism
• We must reject sin-tolerant teachings

⏳ Expect Hard Times (Smyrna, Philadelphia)

• Prepare for suffering and persecution
• True wealth is measured as spiritual depth, not buildings and money
• Need to stand faithful through trials

☀️ Stay Spiritually Awake (Sardis)

• Reject dead religion or empty traditions
• Depend on the Holy Spirit over legalism and / or traditions
• Christ must be visible in everything we do
