Podcasts about seven churches

Each of the seven churches suffered from something that had the power to hinder them from overcoming. As believers, we face the same things in a life-long battle for our soul, and for the church: a wrestling match with the world, the flesh, and the devil. Overcoming isn't easy, but if we focus on Christ, the giver, the one who already overcame the world, the flesh, and the works of the devil, none of these things will separate us from Him who's given us the key to overcoming, and that is by simple faith in Him.

The Book of Revelation is mysterious, unless you know the code. The secret code is the true worship of God. Revelation is based on the liturgy of the Mass. Through all the ups and downs of life, Catholics are called to true worship.

MSOP | May 8, 2025 | Melchizedek School of Priesthood Your Christian journey isn't about adopting spiritual oddities or peculiar behaviors. It's about authentically embodying Christ through divine revelation. You cannot become what you haven't seen, which is why revelation is essential to your spiritual growth. ## The Purpose of Revelation God uses tangible examples throughout Scripture to illustrate spiritual truths because He is deeply committed to your transformation. The Holy Spirit reveals Christ not as a distant figure, but as One manifesting within you. This revelation occurs through: - The Word of God illuminating your understanding - The Holy Spirit's direct teaching - The proper interpretation of Scripture in community Your ability to discern true revelation is critical. Many teachings sound appealing but lack the seed of Christ that produces genuine transformation. Test every spirit, for not all that claims to be from God actually is. ## The Seven Churches and You The churches in Revelation represent aspects of the church throughout history and within your own spiritual journey. Christ walks among these churches, evaluating their condition: - Are you maintaining your first love? - Do you test teachings against Scripture? - Are you patient and persevering? - Do you tolerate what is evil? - Is your faith growing or diminishing? When Christ finds areas needing improvement, it's not for condemnation but for restoration. His goal is your completion. ## Understanding the Seals The seals in Revelation aren't fearsome judgments but necessary processes that mortify your flesh and form Christ within you. The "horsemen" represent spirits sent by God to build His temple—not a physical building, but within your heart. This transformation involves: 1. Death to self-will and fleshly desires 2. Surrender to God's purposes 3. Acceptance of divine discipline 4. Perseverance through trials As each seal is broken, something within you changes. Pride, self-sufficiency, worldly attachments—all must yield to Christ's nature forming within you. ## Your Divine Assignment You have a specific purpose to fulfill before your earthly journey ends. This encompasses: - Coming into personal spiritual maturity - Executing your ministry assignment The true mark of maturity is when your love for God surpasses your fear of death. Some are appointed to martyrdom, others to continued service, but all must complete their course. No sickness, persecution, or obstacle should prevent you from fulfilling your divine assignment. ## The Path Forward Your time on earth should be maximized toward fulfilling God's agenda. Focus not on preserving physical life but on allowing Christ to be fully formed within you. The transformation process requires: 1. Regular immersion in God's Word 2. Testing every teaching against Scripture 3. Submission to the Holy Spirit's work 4. Perseverance through spiritual warfare 5. Dying to self-interests Remember, the purpose of all revelation is to transform you into Christ's image. When you truly see Him as He is, you will become like Him. This is the ultimate goal of your Christian journey—not just to know about Christ, but to embody His nature and fulfill His purposes in the earth.

Imagine if Jesus wrote you a letter. What would it say? One thing's for sure: He wants faith to be more than just a checkbox on your to-do list. Convicting? Definitely. In the book of Revelation, Jesus sends letters to seven ancient churches. But these letters weren’t just for them—they're for you.

The letters to the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 are possibly some of the best known parts of the apocalypic book, mainly due to their accessibility compared to the rest of it.

And why all the Old Testament references?Join Alex, Chris & Jo as they discuss these significant chapters, give some good background information that help make sense of what John is writing, and then talk aboput how we might be able to bring some meaning to us today.

Send us a textIn the letter penned to the Laodiceans, as found in Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus urges the church in Laodicea to repent of their complacency. Despite their riches and wealth, they lacked true spiritual wealth. The Lord warns them of their spiritual temperature and warns them that if they do not repent, He will expel them from His mouth! The letter concludes with an encouraging invitation to turn and seek the Lord. The Lord promises that whoever looks will find Him knocking at the door, waiting to enter.We also would like to invite anyone who lives in the Philadelphia area to worship and study God's word with us at our in-person meeting that takes place every-other Monday night at 7:30pm.

If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.'To the Church in Smyrna8 “And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: ‘The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.9 “‘I know your tribulation and your poverty (but you are rich) and the slander[a] of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear what you are about to suffer. Behold, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and for ten days you will have tribulation. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith[b] even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.'To the Church in Thyatira18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.To the Church in Sardis3 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.To the Church in Philadelphia7 “And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.To the Church in Laodicea14 “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation.

Send us a textFor this week, we're talking about the letter written to the church in Sardis found in Revelation 3:1-6. The church in Sardis had a reputation that appeared to be good, but beneath the surface, Jesus reveals that many of them are spiritually dead and that their works lack faith. As we read this letter together, we've been able to draw some helpful applications to our own lives. We hope it blesses you!

Send us a textFor this week's podcast episode, we're continuing our series through the letters written to the seven churches at the beginning of the book of Revelation. The letter to the third church was located in an Ancient Greek city called Pergamos (Revelation 2:12-17). The New King James translation refers to this church as "The Compromising Church" and you'll see as we discuss through the text that there were valid reasons for this title. Jesus warns the church as some members were adhering to the teachings of Balaam and the Nicolaitans, which involve idolatry and immorality. The letter urges them to repent and promises rewards to those who overcome these issues, including the gift of hidden manna and a white stone with a new name!We also would like to invite anyone who lives in the Philadelphia area to worship and study God's word with us at our in-person meeting that takes place every-other Monday night at 7:30pm.

In this sermon by Chris Romig, the emphasis is on the season of Lent and its profound role in the Christian tradition as a time for self-examination leading up to Easter. Chirs describes Lent as a centuries-old practice rooted in aligning with God's holiness and truth. The sermon outlines a practical approach to observing Lent by engaging with the seven letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3. Chris highlights these letters as timeless messages from Jesus relevant for churches today. Each day of the week, he encourages reflection on a different letter, prompting self-examination with questions like: Are we offering wholehearted worship? What fears might limit our courage for Christ? Chris calls for personal and communal prayer, drawing inspiration from historical revivals such as the 1949-1952 revival on the Isle of Lewis, which underscored the transformative power of prayer. He uses this example to inspire a desire for God's renewal in the community. The sermon concludes by urging the congregation to deeply engage with Lent, embracing it as a time for genuine repentance and seeking God's presence. Chris believes this can lead to a powerful spiritual awakening, reviving both individuals and the church community.

Speaker: Pastor Jared Lyda Why study Revelation? Is it just about the end of the world, or is there something more? This book unveils God's absolute sovereignty over all of history—past, present, and future. It strengthens the faith of sinners and sufferers by expanding our view and deepening our trust in King Jesus. As we begin this series, we focus on the call to remain faithful, stand boldly, and bear witness. Key Themes: The Purpose of Revelation: More than an apocalyptic roadmap, Revelation unveils Jesus' glory and reign. (Revelation 1:1-3) The Seven Churches: A message to the early church—and to us—calling for faithfulness, endurance, and repentance. (Revelation 2-3) The Reality of Babylon: A symbol of human pride, rebellion, and opposition to God's kingdom. (Revelation 18) Judgment & Triumph: God's justice will prevail, and Christ will reign as King. (Revelation 20) Reflection: Are we giving our allegiance to Babylon or standing firm in Christ? Revelation is not meant to be a puzzle to solve but a call to faithfulness. As we navigate its imagery, we must continually return to this truth: Christ is King. Key Texts: Revelation 1:1-3 Revelation 2-3 Revelation 17-18 Revelation 20-22 Key Terms: Babylon: In the Bible, Babylon is both a historical city and empire, but it also serves as a powerful symbol of human pride, idolatry, and rebellion against God. Throughout Scripture, Babylon represents the world's system of self-exaltation, morel corruption, and opposition to God's kingdom. Judgment: In the Book of Revelation, “judgment” refers to the final, ultimate evaluation of all people by God at the end of time, where individuals will be judged based on their action and deeds, ultimately determining their eternal destiny, with the most prominent depiction of this occurring in Revelation 20:11-15, often called the “Great White Throne Judgement.” Millenium: A period of 1000 years Prophecy: As used here, prophecy refers to that part of God's revelation in Scripture that is predictive, the revelation which God gives from His sovereign and eternal plans and foreknowledge of things to come. The prophet was one who spoke God's message to His people. In this he was both a forth teller (preaching) and a foreteller (prediction).) Eschatology: The doctrine of “last things” or “things to come.” The word eschatology comes from the Greek eschatos, meaning, “last, extreme.” As used theologically, this word refers to those truths of Scripture that pertain to the end times, the coming of the Lord, the tribulation, the millennium, etc. Apocalypse: A term sometimes used for the Book of Revelation since the word revelation comes form the Greed apokalupsis, “an unveiling, revelation.” More services on Revelation 1-3 (Letters to the Seven Churches) https://www.alloflife.church/theonewhoconquers Support Our Mission: Your generosity helps us proclaim Christ as King and equip believers to stand firm in faith. https://alloflife.churchcenter.com/giving Visit Our Website: www.alloflife.church #ChristIsKing #FaithfulWitness #EndTimes #RevelationStudy
