Seven Messages for Seven Churches

Revelation chapters 2 and 3 contain shorter, more specific messages for each of the seven churches that John is writing to. The general outline of the letters is pretty similar -- Jesus affirms what they are doing well, points out areas that need correction, gives them a call to action, and reminds them of the amazing promises God has in store for those who endure faithfully. Those messages of repentance, perseverance, and faithfulness are just as important for us today as the day they were written.
