The Past, The Present and Things to Come: The Seven Churches of The Revelation

Much can be learned about the past, the present and things to come by a careful study of the seven churches found in Revelation chapters two and three. There we find not only a commendation, condemnation, counsel and a challenge to each church, but also prophetic glimpses into the future. We find an analysis of the seven kinds of churches to be found in the world today. It also traces church history from the apostolic age, through the first millennia, the dark ages, the great awakening and on to the luke-warm churches of today. Like a surgeons scalpel, they dig deep into our own individual lives and challenge us in our walk for Christ. We can learn about ourselves, our church and yet-to-unfold future events from these two rich chapters of the Bible. - Ephesus - The Honeymoon is Over- Smyrna - The Church under Pressure- Pergamum - The Church That Caved- Thyatira - The Worldly Church- Sardis - The Church of the Zombies- Philadelphia - The Little Church that tried- Laodicea - The Poor Rich Church
