The Essential 100Sample

## MESSAGES TO THE CHURCHES PRAY Lord, Your Word has both encouragement and warnings. Help me to listen carefully to both. READ Revelation 2–3 REFLECT These seven churches are very different and face different challenges. What does Jesus commend in them? What warnings does he give them? What lessons do you see? APPLY Before you next go to church, think about whether your church shares any of the characteristics or dangers of these seven. Pray about any challenges it faces. PRAY Lord, I’m thankful for my church and I pray that You will keep it faithful to You no matter what challenges it faces.
