Imagine being at church and someone says: "Jesus wrote our church this letter and I want to read it to you right now!" Well, that actually happened to the seven churches of Asia Minor in the first century! In the second and third chapters of the book of Revelation, the Apostle John is the messenger who passes on what Jesus told him to tell these seven churches. While these letters are specifically written to these churches, they are really letters to every church and to every Christian.

Beginning January 10, Pastor Mark will give a 7-week sermon series from Revelation 2-3, the Seven Churches of Asia Minor. He is calling it: "What Jesus Says to Southern Gables Church and to You!" These studies will encourage and help us to live for Christ in some more and deeper ways.

As always, there will be outlines and PowerPoint presentations to help you follow along. Mark tries to make it interesting and to help us put the Word of God to work in our daily lives.  Available sermon resources
