Week of Aug. 30, 2015: God's Warning to the Seven Churches

Session Title: God’s Warning to Seven Churches 
Bible Passage: Revelation 1–3
Big Picture Question: What did Jesus tell the churches about Himself? Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end.
Key Passage: Revelation 22:12-13
Unit Christ Connection: Jesus is making all things new

Like many other authors of the Bible, John received visions from Jesus. Christ told John to write down what he saw, and John obeyed. Jesus loves the church. His message to seven local churches called them to turn away from their sin and remain faithful to Him. Jesus saves sinners and changes them to be like Him.

"Jesus loves the Church. The Church is made up of people who have trusted in Jesus, who are committed to one another, and who meet together to worship Jesus and share the Gospel. Jesus loves the Church as His bride.  Jesus’ message to seven local churches called them to turn away from their sin and remain faithful to Him. The Lord is slow to anger and patient, wanting everyone to repent".
