Issues
We’re all searching for the perfect church home. Well, maybe not perfect, but at least one with the fewest issues. Good luck! The seven churches of Revelation show us the issues that every church in every time and space will face. But Jesus addresses these seven things so that we cannot only test ourselves but learn how to persevere and pursue Him and, thus, conquer whatever challenges we may face.

Woe To You
In one of the greatest take-downs ever, Jesus confronts the Pharisees, resulting in what is known as The Seven Woes. Throughout history, Christians have loved Jesus for His raw and spot-on exposure of the hypocrisy and callousness that often comes with high levels of authority. Less popular, however, is turning the mirror on ourselves. The truth about us is that modern-day Christianity has regressed into an often judgmental, unfeeling dogma. This week, we put the spotlight on ourselves and wonder if Jesus might say to us, "Woe to you."
