Revelations has seven letters to the seven churches

… El Dorado would need to take a place of “weakness and sacrifice” in order to be a blessing.
… Weakness is our ordained place so that the Lord gets maximum glory.
… You have always been invited into the “weakness of prayer” as a testimony to the city. Forsake not this privileged and princely call.
… The Lord just has One Church in El Dorado but in that church you at New Life El Dorado carry the primary testimony of (1) prayer, (2) service, and (3) community. Other fellowships are blessed and the gospel is advanced when you step into these three assignments.

Matthew 18:15-20 (NIV)
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’
17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

Psalm 115:16 (NIV)
16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to mankind.
