A deeper look into the flood story in Genesis; what really caused the flood and was there a greater purpose to the judgement? A look into the history behind the idea of fallen angels.
Some say the bible has been lost in translation over the centuries but is this true? The Dead Sea Scrolls are an amazing historical and archaeological discovery that shows us otherwise.
The Church of Laodicea is heavily rebuked by Jesus for neither being hot or cold - a state of lukewarmness. Their pride is lifted up due to their material wealth and they believe they lack nothing. This however couldn't be farther from the truth. Learn how like Laodecia, even when we may backslide and lose sight of our first love, Jesus rebukes us out of love and stands ready for us to come back to him. All we need to do is open the door.
The Church of Philadelphia is like the Church of Smyrna in the sense that Jesus doesn’t find fault with them and they’re holding on to God’s word even in the midst of trials and those that seek to do them harm. Despite what they may face, he still offers them encouragement.
As we begin reading about the Church of Sardis, we immediately see that Christ is displeased with them and doesn’t see anything for them to be commended for. He wants them to do better and hold on to what they’ve been imparted with. What is Jesus referring to here and how can we learn from Sardis' mistakes?
The Church of Thyatira seems to be a church that’s fairly well doing even to Jesus. However, Jesus does have some things against them, that they allow Jezebel to be in their midst. Who is Jezebel and how are the members of Thyatira suffering from her influence?
Pergamos is an interesting church; although they follow Jesus and hold fast to his name, they also allow others to commit a myriad of sins in their midst without rebuke, so much so that Jesus references "Satan's seat" as among them and interesting characters: Balaam, Balak, and the Nicolaitanes. What does Jesus mean by all this?
