No Contest & Heaven

The past couple weeks we've been studying a little bit in Revelations.

Jesus looks a little differently than we're used to seeing him. But we learn about how powerful he is. There will be many fights between good and evil, but in the final battle Jesus wins.

We learned a little more about heaven. But everything we could compare it with now, isn't a clear picture of what heaven will be.

Reviewing the 7 churches of Revelations

Last week was our lesson on the last church of our series. We started with a spitting contest! No worries, it was only water and all outside.

This week, crack open your Bibles to Revelations 2 & 3. We're going to review! See what you can remember, find out what you missed. From writing your name in a rock to wearing a white shirt, see what they all have to do with you!

Thyatira, #4

What?


For the past few weeks, we've been looking into the 7 churches found in Revelations chapter 2. This week, we read verses 18-29.





So What?


Here's a couple things we studied about the church of Thyatira and how it compared to the previous churches we've studied:


- Located near Pergamum (We studied that last week.)


- They were doing better than before, stronger in their faith = good! (Ephesus needed to return to their first love.) But this means that we need to keep growing in our faith (not just once in a while).


- Some people were allowing the evil teaching of Jezebel (They weren't actually accused of doing evil. But they just didn't do anything about it.) = not good. (Pergamum was accused of similar problems.) We have to speak up when something isn't right.


- Some people just needed to keep holding on until the end. (Smyrna was told they had to endure through 10 days of suffering!)





Iron rods vs. clay pots:

-Would you rather have power or suffering?


-Jesus has been given this authority by God to rule over all of us, and yet he’s saying that he’ll give himself to those who overcome the temptation to do what is wrong and follow him instead.


-The “morning star” refers to the second coming of Jesus. (Read 2 Peter 1:19)
