More About This Series
Are you spiritually distracted?
This series is a challenge to every Christian to resist a life of distraction or indifference and passionately embrace the life God wants for us. But we can’t live that incredible life full of God’s promises if we aren’t centered on God. In this series, we’ll consider how we’re living: holding onto what’s good and repenting when God makes us aware of our need to change.
We’ll dive into the messages Jesus had for first-century Christians at seven different churches, also known as “The Seven Churches of Revelation”.
What does an ancient church have to do with me?
A lot, actually.
We look at Revelation chapters 2-3 where each church is commended for its strengths and instructed in areas where it needs to make changes. But this isn’t just ancient history. This study reveals how we, as Christians today, should learn from this instruction so we can understand how we should be living as believers.
This study shows us how to focus on Jesus rather than the battle, and listen to the Spirit of God and press in.
