Checking The Mail Letters To The Churches In Revelation

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.

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.

Normally, we hear the call and the command to come in out of the rain. This devotional is an invitation and an incentive to get out in the rain to get drenched with these drops of devotions. Rain is not from the sea, but from the sky. Rain is not drawn from the faucet into the sink, but it falls from the sky. Rain is not from the ground, but from God. These raindrop devotionals are written to wet you with the Word, soak you with the Scripture, and mizzle you with the message. These raindrops are relevant, revealing, and reaching. So, let down your umbrella and let this rain drop in your walk, work, witness, worship, and week.
