12 sermons on Revelation 2-3 on CD or DVD
Nowhere in all Scripture does Christ Himself evaluate churches so penetratingly and succinctly as in Revelation 2-3: seven churches, one after the other, with their strengths and weaknesses, commendations and rebukes, promises and threats. What are the great issues in the church according to Jesus Christ? How does your church fare in His eyes? What are the lessons for congregations in the 21st century?
