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.

In this series:

  1. Ephesus, a church that lost sight of its first love: A call to return to your first love - Revelation 2:1-7 (part 1): Don’t replace your love for Jesus with religious do’s and don’ts.

  2. Smyrna, a church that experienced persecution: A call not to fear - Revelation 2:8-11 (part 2): When trials come: pray, trust the Lord and walk in faith.

  3. Pergamum, a church surrounded by evil influence: A call not to compromise - Revelation 2:12-17 (part 3): Live as an overcomer, a bright light: repent, live a life of faith, and avoid a compromised lifestyle.

  4. Thyatira, a church that embraced evil: A call not to tolerate sin - Revelation 2:18-29 (part 4): Faith, obedience, and love for God will guide you to persevere when tempted with tolerance for sin.

  5. Sardis, a spiritually dead church: A call to spiritual revival - Revelation 3:1-6 (part 5): Have you become spiritually lazy? How to be spiritually vigilant and on guard against attack.

  6. Philadelphia, a faithful church: A call to persevere & know you are loved - Revelation 3:7-13 (part 6): Feeling overwhelmed or anxious? Jesus knows, and He’s able to deliver you. Choose faith over fear and learn about promises of God for your life.

  7. Laodicea, a lukewarm, materialistic church: A call to open your heart and recommit your love for Jesus - Revelation 3:14-22 (part 7): Don’t let anything supersede your love and passion for Jesus. He is pursuing you! Is your heart open to Him.
