Publisher's Synopsis
America is at a crossroads. The twenty-first century is barely two decades old and it has already been marked by civil disturbance and a pandemic. What did Christ say to the first-century church that is applicable to the church today? Pastor Tommy delivers seven powerful messages that illustrate how the Holy Spirit is moving in today's society. These messages delivered to the seven churches in the opening chapters of the Book of Revelation provide a glimpse of what the early church was dealing with and how they were responding. It was not always in a manner that pleased God. While there were commendations for most of the churches, there were also dire warnings of what was to come if they didn't repent and turn back to God. The twenty-first century church has much to learn from the first-century church. *What happens when the church leaves her first love?*What causes the church to compromise her beliefs?*How can the church overcome the fear that currently grips her?*How can a church die?*Why does the church exist?*Will the church survive the persecution; and what of the Tribulation period?*What happens when the church begins to tolerate sin in her community?These seven messages are timely and provide insight for those disturbed by current events. The similarities of the first-century events may surprise readers. The Bible has the answer if only we are willing to listen to what the Lord says to the churches. Pastor Tommy shows us how we can learn from the church's past and apply these lessons-learned in our modern era.
