Reading through the letters to the 7 churches in Revelation, I can’t help but wonder—are these just snapshots of ancient congregations, or are they windows into the Church today?
Some say the letters to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea represent stages in church history. Others think they reflect types of churches (or even believers) that exist in every generation. Either way, the warnings are hard to ignore—especially when you read about the dangers of becoming a lukewarm church like Laodicea.

Is your church more like Philadelphia—or Laodicea?
Sometimes the sharpest spiritual wake-up call comes not from persecution, but from comfort.
