Seven churches of the ancient world received messages from Jesus Christ through the revelation of the apostle John. What do these letters have to say to the modern church? Based on Revelation 2:1-3:22, each week focuses on one ancient city, its unique challenges, Christ's call to "hold on to what you have," and how this message still applies today. With special emphasis on why we need Jesus Christ to do what we are unable to do, these materials help the congregation focus prayerfully on the Savior's sacrifice for our salvation and the faith and hope that He alone gives.
