Publisher's Synopsis
The Letters to the Seven Churches Leader Guide includes a CD-ROM with leader helps, sermon ideas, and promotional materials. John received messages from God for seven churches that existed in his day. These were real churches, each facing challenges that threatened their existence and effectiveness. By studying these letters, believers today can find encouragement and instruction for their church. The focus of this January Bible Study is to understand each church's context of ministry, the challenges faced by that church, and the instructions given to that church. Today's believers will be challenged to look for ways the lessons learned from these churches can be applied to their setting with the goal of strengthening and encouraging churches of today.
