Podcasts about seven churches

Today, we begin a new mini-series on the letters written to the church. Though these letters bring praise, correction and encouragement, they also speak to the common experiences of today's Christ followers. There is a promise at the conclusion of each letter by the Lord. This is restoration given to anyone who has ears to hear what the Spirit is speaking to the church. What will be restored to those who overcome? This is what we endeavor to learn in this seven part series. 

Join Pastor Brenda for Part 1 of her brand-new series, The 7 Churches of Revelation. This dynamic end-times message will stir your spirit, strengthen your faith, and equip you to stand firm in the days ahead. Don't miss this powerful teaching!

Who were the seven churches of Revelation, and how should we read and understand today what Jesus said to them?

This Sunday, as we delve into the stage of spiritual renewal that Sardis represents in Revelation 3:1-6, let's discover how to awaken to our authentic spiritual life — moving from outer form to inner vitality, from words about Truth to living Truth.

Text: Revelation 3 : 7 - 13 Joe Grimwood

Are we comfortable… or close to Jesus? In the final letter to the Seven Churches, Anthony Delaney unpacks Jesus' message to the church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14–22) — a community that thought it had everything, yet made Jesus sick with its lukewarm faith. Laodicea's comfort had numbed its passion. They were rich in possessions but poor in spirit. Yet even in His rebuke, Jesus offers mercy: “Be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock.” This powerful message calls us to break free from complacency and expand our intimacy with God — to open the door, reignite the fire, and rediscover wholehearted devotion to Jesus. Join us for worship, prayer, and this final call in our Revelation series as we ask:

Transforming Perspectives | Having our names written in the Lamb's Book of Life, is an obscured authentication of believer's Faith in Jesus Christ. Biblically, it is a wondrous act, conveyed when Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, of one's proof of having entered into the kingdom of God, born of the Spirit. The Lamb's book of life, distinct from the book of life, contains the records of every person having accepted Jesus Christ, as the righteousness of God, and the propitiation for their sins, the atoning sacrifice satisfying the penalty of death, and becoming born again. Formidably, the book of life, are accountings and recordation of all creation as well as all humanity on earth.  This Book is more than ledgers as men would believe, but actuaries in the realm of the counsel of God. Archives of his knowledge and observance of every person, as expressed by David, exalting Almighty God, “Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet, there was none of them.”  Psalms 139:16, English Standard Version.In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John, received in visions, Letters from the Lord written to the ‘Seven Churches,' exhorting of them his assessment of their Faith. Noteworthy, are the significances of the Lord's frankness, timing and urgency of the delivered messages. An erroneous assumption for believers of the prophetic narrative, is to overlook or underestimate the audience defining each Church to whom the Lord addresses and of their position of Faith, as Jesus says, “He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.  He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.  Revelation 3:5-6, King James Version.Pray, Read and Study | The Book of Revelation Chapters 2, 3, 5 and 21.__________________Thank you for joining and listening to our Podcast's Episodes!

Hue continued our 7 churches of Revelation Series talking about the church in Thyatira.

Text: Revelation 3 : 1 - 6 James Martin

Christ calls us to find true spiritual refreshment in him alone.

The church of Philadelphia was a faithful church. They teach us how to be faithful in this day in age. We need to be faithful to God with prayer and fasting and reading and studying his word. We also need to be faithful to the church in our attendance and tithes and offering.

Hue continued the 7 churches series speaking about the church in Pergamum

This Sunday, as we take a deeper look at the seven churches of Revelation, let's reexamine Pergamum—the church in the “city where Satan has his throne.” Let's discover the stage of our soul's journey that this church represents.

The church or Sardis was a dead church because the didn't live for the Lord like they should have lived. They are a prime example of how we should not be. We need to be a live and living church, not a dead one.

Hue continued our 7 churches of Revelation series speaking about the church in Smyrna.

Text: Revelation 2 : 18 - 19 James Martin

The churches in the Bible will teach us how we should live in this time frame. Like how how we should dress and be modest for the Lord and not be like the world. the Bible says come out from them and be ye seperate.

Continuation in our series through the Seven Churches in Revelation

September 14 Text – Revelation 2 – 3 Title – Seven Churches and the Reality of Life Jon Sherrill, preaching

In this GoMission episode, Mark Gilmore sits down in Uganda with Ayi Cira Masenzio, a man once devoted to Catholic tradition and alcohol, but transformed by the power of the gospel. Saved through the simple preaching of Matthew 11:28, he was called of God to cross into South Sudan as a missionary. Since then, he has planted twenty-seven churches, discipled leaders, and experienced God's miraculous protection through ambushes, arrests, and even landmines. His story is a vivid reminder that God can use anyone, at any age, who will walk by faith.Topics DiscussedAyi Cira Masenzio's testimony of salvation out of Catholic traditionHis transformation from catechist and drunkard to bold preacher of the gospelThe calling to missions at age forty-eightPlanting twenty-seven churches across Uganda and South SudanThe simple model of discipleship, fasting, and prayer that led to multiplicationGod's protection from ambushes, imprisonment, and landminesThe courage to keep preaching despite opposition and dangerThe reminder that missions is not just for the young—God calls and uses older believers tooKey TakeawaysThe gospel changes lives—even the most unlikely can be saved.Church planting flows from prayer, discipleship, and Spirit-led obedience.Every new church planted is an act of faith that requires courage.God protects His servants until their work is done.It's never too late to obey God's call—He can use you at any stage of life.If you have your own unique story of gospel advance or if you sense God leading you toward a particular people group, we'd love to hear about it.

Vanessa opened the Seven churches series from Revalation by giving us an introduction to the book and reminding us to approach this book with humility and prayer, asking the holy spirit to give us understanding rather than coming up with speculation and end time theories.

In this episode of Growing Forward, Pastor Andy Comer unpacks Revelation 1, revealing its purpose as a powerful testament to Jesus Christ's sovereignty and a source of comfort for us as believers. He goes verse-by-verse, encouraging us not to fear the book of Revelation, but instead be stirred to live in awe of Jesus. Andy also highlights the significance of the seven churches from Revelation 1 and the promise of Christ's ultimate reign.Mentioned in this episode:The Seven Churches of Revelation by Dr. David Jeremiah Letters to the Churches sermon series from Antioch Georgetown Church
