Hear What the Spirit Says unto the Churches – Revelation 2:1-17

TRANSCRIPT

Date: September 14, 2022 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

Dear Heritage Family, While the interest in the study of the Book of Revelation is primarily about the events of the end times, it is important that we understand why Jesus began His revelation to John with seven personal letters to seven particular churches in Asia. First, while these seven churches were actual, historical churches in that day, the Lord’s letters were intended for every local church of every age, and even more importantly, The Church of the ages. Second, like the nation of Israel failed in their calling to be God’s representatives on the earth and God had no choice but to chastise them, so the church will also reach that point where it becomes so entangled in the world it can make no difference in the world, and it will face a time of severe persecution. Third, while those believers who remain “faithful” to their calling will be spared from God’s wrath, those who reject Jesus Christ will be vomited out into the time of Tribulation. We will explain this further in tonight’s sermon: The Age of The Apocalypse: “Hear What the Spirit Says unto the Churches,” based on our study of Revelation 2:1-17 While the sermon study guide is attached, we encourage you to view the sermon on our INTERACTIVE WEBSITE: theheritagechurch.org .  The live stream will start at 6:00 PM, but the sermon will remain on the Website for future viewing. THANK YOU for forwarding these sermon study guides to those you think might be interested.
