Revelation 2-3 has a section of the Lord Jesus addressing 7 different churches in Asia in the 1st century. Fortunately, it's not just messages for these guys back then but are encouragements and challenges for us 2000 years later, as we seek to live as Jesus' church.
We did things a little differently this week, and so if you'd like to follow along, pick one (or all!) of the 7 churches from Revelation 2-3, and ask the following questions:
What's something you love about this passage?
What is the characteristic in this passage from the vision of Jesus in 1:12-16, and what does that show about who Jesus is?
What encouragements (if any) does Jesus have for his church? How can we be spurred on by this encouragement?
What warnings (if any) does Jesus have for his church? How can we heed these warnings?
How would this change the life of someone who loves Jesus?This talk was given at Senior High on Sunday 12 Feb 2023.
