Revelation 3:16-19
January 21, 2021
The church at Laodicea was rich and in a rich city. Money was important to them. They were self sufficient. Worldly wealth was their measuring rod for success while spiritual values were ignored. Find out how Jesus described them (it’s not pretty) and take to heart His charge to turn back to Him and get on fire for God.

Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

An onsite visit to the church in Laodicea explains why Jesus had only condemnation for this church. “Lukewarm” described their water system and their compromised devotion of Him. How could they be so half-hearted towards Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the Faithful Witness, the Amen Himself? Listen with your whole heart to discover how not to lose your fervor for God.

If you visited the church of Sardis in the first century, you could only get in the city by one entrance. The city itself was on the top of a mountain, secure unless the guards fell asleep. To this church, the Lord says, “Wake up and watch out! Don't you go to sleep!” If you feel a little drowsy, dive into this study of Revelation 3 with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

The letter to the church in Thyatira was a warning. Jesus is judging His church. He is pictured with eyes like fire, searching them out. His feet are like burnished brass, representing judgment. But Jesus also commended them for their love for Him and how it prompted works of service, faith, patience, and endurance—all produced by the Holy Spirit. A practical study from Dr. J. Vernon McGee on this fifth church of Revelation.

Did you know Satan has a base of operations on earth? Jesus revealed through the apostle John where Satan’s headquarters were in the early days of the church in this study in Revelation 2-3. Dr. J. Vernon McGee reminds us today that even though Satan is loose and ruling like the prince of this world, Jesus promised He was greater than any spiritual enemy. We know who wins.

While we hate pain and try to avoid it, God’s Word teaches us God uses it for our good. Our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, addresses the important question, “Why do God’s children suffer?” and one of his answers may surprise you.

Come ready to listen and do what God prompts you to do.

Ever wish you could get a personal letter from Jesus? Well, seven churches in Asia did. They came through the apostle John’s pen but were inspired by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Dr. J. Vernon McGee calls these “God’s love letters to churches.” They were an encouragement and sometimes a warning to the first recipients of this message, and they do the same for us who listen to them today.

Some think the book of Revelation is filled with mysteries. And perhaps it is. The word mystery in Scripture means “a sacred secret which has not been revealed before.” Discover what God reveals about the things which are (about the church) and the things which will be (the church raptured and what happens on earth after the church leaves). Past. Present. Future. What a great story!
