October 23, 2024 • Minister Raymond Archibeque • Revelation 2, Revelation 3
Revelation 2–3 details the individual letters that Jesus dictates for the seven churches in Asia. Each of these churches is in a different spiritual state. For the faithful churches in Smyrna and Philadelphia, Jesus offers only encouragement for their steadfast faith. For the churches in Sardis, Ephesus, Pergamum, and Thyatira, he commends them for some aspects of their faith but also rebukes them for specific areas of failure. Finally, for the church in Laodicea, he offers no encouragement at all and simply calls for their repentance from a lukewarm, middle-of-the-road faith.
