This book was released on 2024-01-17 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. —Revelation 1:11 Who were these churches? Who were these people? Who was saying this was to be done? Why did the Lord Jesus Christ want to send these churches a letter? What was happening in their lives that they needed to hear from Him? Come with me and let’s turn back the pages in time. This book will explore and survey the scriptures to find answers to these questions, as well as some other historical information. All scriptures are God-breathed and are useful for instruction, conviction, correction, and training in righteousness so that the man of God may be complete and fully equipped for every good work. I explore the connections the letters have to the culture and history of the people and the times they lived in. The letters were written to them, but the same letters are written for us. Let’s open the Word of God together and see what He has in store for us as we learn to walk in His way, growing in faith and strength as disciples equipped for every good work and word according to His purpose. The book will take the reader on a journey - a survey of the things that were, things that are, and the things to come - that John, the beloved disciple, recorded for us. Come with us on the journey through the pages of scripture and time. Who were our brethren from long ago, whom Jesus wrote to? How and why do these letters matter to us? Come and let us see what the Lord has in store for us.

Book excerpt: Sometimes, churches need a little help. These days, some don't know who they are and don't know what they're supposed to be doing. Churches today are trying anything and everything to be effective, but are bewildered by worship styles, spectator syndrome, and consumerism. In the meantime, people are hungry for a relationship with a God who has substance--a God with character and integrity, and a God of grace. And they're having trouble finding such a God in churches today. Seven Letters to Seven Churches is written to challenge the church to be what God created us to be and then do what God created us to do: join Him in His mission to save the world.
Download or read book Weakness Is the Way written by J. I. Packer and published by Crossway. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most people think of weakness as purely negative, but true Christianity embraces weakness as a way of life. In this collection of meditations on 2 Corinthians, renowned Bible scholar and theologian J. I. Packer reflects on the central importance of weakness for the Christian life. He exhorts readers to look to Christ for strength, affirmation, and contentment in the midst of their own sin and frailty. Now in his mid-eighties, Packer mediates on the truths of Scripture with pastoral warmth and exegetical care, drawing on lessons learned from the experience of growing older and coming face-to-face with his own mortality. Overflowing with wisdom gleaned from a life of obedience to Christ and dependence on his Word, this encouraging book ultimately directs readers to the God who promises to be ever-present and all-sufficient.

Download or read book Letters to Churches written by Jenny Baker and published by Spring Harvest Publishing. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seven churches of the book of Revelation each got mail from Jesus. These letters outlined their weaknesses and their strengths, and also encouraged them in their trials. These churches saw themselves through God's eyes; saw what made Him glad and what made Him angry. And now we've got mail too. Letters to the Churches is based on the 2002 Spring Harvest theme You've Got Mail, and can be used in conjunction with the 2002 Study Guide. It covers material on Revelation chapters 1, 2 and 3 and encourages small groups and individuals to put their faith into action. Containing material and ideas for eight sessions, each study focuses on one subject, which is split into different sections for easy access. From aims to application, the studies make use of relevant and recent media which help to ground the Bible study within contemporary bounds. Letters to the Churches applies the words of Jesus Christ to today's church, and shows how it can shape and challenge us, giving us a new sense of purpose and direction for life.
Download or read book You ve Got Mail written by Malcolm White and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In chapters 2 and 3 of the Revelation of John, Jesus looks at a tiny group of seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. We know from the letters Jesus wrote to these churches what He thought about each congregation, and it is believed that here in these letters, through the commendations, condemnations and challenges Christ brings to each church, our Lord was giving a heavenly blueprint as to how He expected the Church, His body, to be. Malcolm White's "You've Got Mail" takes the reader verse by verse through the seven letters, giving a deeper insight into life in each of the churches through the history of the cities they are found in. This presents not only a clearer understanding of each church and the relevance of Christ's message to them, but also of the relevance and application of these letters to our personal lives and churches today.

Book excerpt: Pastor Allan Descheneau invites the reader to “walk along with the letter carrier of the Roman Road” as he takes them on an exhilarating journey in his book Letters from Jesus. Well organized and simple to understand, Pastor Allan reveals Jesus’ hopes for His church and their need for repentance, grace, encouragement, and a revitalized relationship with Him. Although these letters were delivered to specific churches almost two thousand years ago, with the help of the Holy Spirit, Pastor Allan is able to draw out the many truths for us today. Just as Ephesus struggled to make love a priority, Smyrna faced persecution, Pergamum endured the flank attacks of Satan, and Thyatira compromised its morality, so do many Christians and congregations struggle with these same issues today. Above all, Letters from Jesus invites the reader to ask, “What would Jesus’ letter be to me?”
