We have been studying the 7 churches in Revelation.  From each church we learn something.  From the first church, Ephesus, we learn that we must look at our hearts and make sure we haven’t lost our first love.  The church of Smyrna is told to hang in there in the midst of tribulation.  It is only for a short time, Jesus says.  Also they are rich, if not in this life, in the one to come.  The church at Pergamum had allowed sin to remain in the church.  The church at Thyatira had compromised with the world.  It looked good on the outside but was not a healthy church.  We can’t compromise with the world.

Why do we study these churches?  Because it is the end times and Jesus is coming soon and these churches show us areas we need to change.  What a great day to serve the Lord!!!  See you soon.  Pastor Bob
