Which of the 7 Churches Are You?


Listen Later

Which of the seven churches in Revelation are you? In chapters 2 and 3, Jesus addresses seven first-century churches with specific commendations and critiques. But these messages aren't just ancient history—they represent the spiritual conditions and challenges that every church and believer can face today.

In this devotional, Senior Pastor Mike Woodruff takes us on a tour of five of these churches, from the theologically sound but loveless church in Ephesus to the complacent and "lukewarm" church in Laodicea. He explains how we might see ourselves in these profiles, sometimes being like one church in the morning and another by night.

More than just a diagnosis, this reflection highlights the hope and path of restoration Jesus offers to each one. The ultimate question isn't about finding a label, but about hearing Jesus's personal invitation to change and grow.

In this video, we explore:

  • A brief profile of 5 key churches: Ephesus, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, and Laodicea.
  • How the spiritual conditions of these ancient churches are still relevant today.
  • The hope of restoration and grace Jesus offers to each one.
  • The most important question: What is Jesus inviting you to do next?

Join us as we learn from the past to grow in our faith today.
