Join us for the first part of our comprehensive study on the Seven Churches of Revelation, led by Pastor Steven Pratt. In this series, we explore the profound messages and timeless lessons from the letters to the seven churches described in Revelation chapters 2 and 3. This study offers insights into the historical context, prophetic significance, and practical applications for churches and believers today.

Scripture Reading:


Revelation 1:19-20 (KJV)

"Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches."

In this study, Pastor Pratt discusses:

An introduction to the seven churches of Revelation.


The historical and spiritual significance of each church.

How the seven churches represent different ages in church history.

The relevance of these messages to contemporary churches and believers.

Specific lessons from the churches of Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, and Thyatira.

Key Points:

- Ephesus (30-100 AD): The Backslidden Church, praised for hard work but admonished for losing their first love.

- Smyrna (100-300 AD): The Persecuted Church, commended for faithfulness under tribulation with no criticism.

- Pergamos (300-500 AD): The Worldly Church, criticized for tolerating false teachings and moral compromise.

- Thyatira (500-1500 AD): The Adulterous Church, known for good works but criticized for tolerating immorality and false teachings.

Key Takeaways:

* Understanding the role and messages of each church.


* Reflecting on the prophetic implications for different periods in church history.

* Practical applications for individual spiritual growth and church leadership today.

Join us as we uncover the timeless messages from the letters to the seven churches. This study is essential for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the Book of Revelation and its application to our lives and churches today.
