Күн бұрын

It’s been almost 2,000 years since the apostle John was instructed by Jesus to write letters to the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. These timeless letters reveal a message of God’s love through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus, identify and provide correction for problems in the church, and offer hope and encouragement for the future.
00:00-01:24: Introduction
01:24-03:01: "To the Angel of the Church in Thyatira" (Revelation 2:18-29)
03:01-07:35: Ancient Thyatira
07:35-09:57: "But I Have Something against You" - Christ's Warning to the Church of Thyatira
09:57-13:25: “He Who Overcomes" - Christ's Message of Hope to the Church of Thyatira
13:25-15:06: "To the Angel of the Church in Philadelphia" (Revelation 3:7-13)
15:06-17:08: Ancient Philadelphia
17:08-21:13: Open and Shut Doors
21:13-25:07: “He Who Overcomes" - Christ's Message of Hope to the Church of Philadelphia
25:07-25:31: End Credits
In this seven-part series, you’ll travel to what remains of the ancient sites of the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Join host and president of Cornerstone University Dr. Joseph Stowell as he takes a closer look into the struggles of the New Testament churches that are just as apparent in churches today.
"The Seven Churches of Revelation" is a perfect resource to help individuals or small groups gain a new perspective on the book of Revelation. Discover how you can find courage to face challenges with the confidence of knowing that in the end, Jesus wins!
Part 1: Introduction: The Conquering King
Part 2: Ephesus - The Church That Left Its First Love
Part 3: Smyrna - The Church About To Be Tested
Part 4: Pergamum - The Church That Compromised
Part 5: Sardis - The Dead Church
Part 6: Thyatira & Philadelphia - The Promiscuous Church And The Church Before An Open Door
Part 7: Laodicea - The Lukewarm Church

He who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit says to the Church - the world - each and every one in this world. For the time has come. No more time to waste. On guard.

Interestingly, Scriptures says listen to what the Spirit says to the churches, not Church. Question is, what constitutes a real local church today? Baptist? Lutheran? Pentecostal? Non-denominational? Catholic? Orthodox?

The Bible was written to spread God’s word among the people that people may know how much He loves us. He will never abandon His people. I am crying tears of joy. Let us truly love Him.

We are also doing our own study and your video explaining the background, the culture, the circumstances the early churches are in gives us a better understanding of those chapters. Realizing it is time for our churches to mirror ourselves in the light of God's Word and pray for the issues that hinder our fellowship with the Lord. Us Christians need to realign our perspective and especially our priority especially during these times. Heartfelt thanks again~

Thank you for sharing a precious message. I searched for "Philadelphia church revelation" and found this Channel. A few months after being in the State, had a dream in which I was looking down from the sky and someone said, "that is New Jerusalem." At that time, I had never heard that word before in any of the languages that I've known/spoken. It was by the ocean and all kind of lights, but on earth. Since then my life has been like a rollercoaster and betrayed by many, including authorities, professors, classmates, and friends. I used to ask God to hold not to come because I wanted my loved ones to be safe, and I now learned that the Gift of Salvation is only from God and therefore come Lord.

I absolutely loved this short documentary on the Churches of Thyatira and Philadelphia, and the letters that were dictated to them from our beloved Messiah Yahshua. I felt such a rush of joy that it gave me goose bumps as I listened to Dr. Joseph Stowell talk about the faithfulness of the Church of Philadelphia, and the wonderful rewards that He promised to give them for their perseverance and faith. He is speaking these same loving words of encouragement to everyone who loves and follows Yahshua, and desires to be in His Kingdom with all their hearts.
