VII: A Study in The Book of Revelation
John of Patmos was given a vision from Jesus about what is to come. He wrote a letter to seven churches in Asia to encourage some but also to warn others. Ephesus, Laodicea, Thyarita, Philadelphia, Pergamum, Smyrna, and Sardis. The book is filled with detail of his vision.
In Revelation 2-3, we find hope that endures through every trial and can’t be taken away. It's the hope that lies at the center of Christian faith and life; hope that transforms the way we live every single day.
In a culture that is increasingly hostile to the Christian faith, people often ask if the Bible is still relevant for today? Is God still speaking? Of course He is! The real question is: Are we listening?
Imagine if our church received a letter from Jesus Himself. What would He say about our love for God? Endurance in trials? Faithful service? Would His words bring commendation… or condemnation? We do, in fact, have such a letter.
In Revelation, the last book of the Bible, Jesus’ words to 7 churches are as relevant & today as they were in the 1st century.
