Series Companion Guide (PDF)


Do you ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes, if the hype matches reality, or if it’s all just smoke and mirrors? In Revelation we get a peek behind the curtain and at the spiritual health of seven New Testament churches. Jesus gives his direct and honest feedback. Some of the Churches are healthy and thriving – they are doing a great job of loving their neighbors as themselves. Other churches, however… well not so much. If Jesus were to look behind the curtain of our Church, our families, and our lives, what kind of things might he want to say to us? Are there secrets we’d rather not have come to light? The good news is that when Jesus shines a light on the broken parts of our lives he does so not to shame us or condemn us, but to encourage us to be well!
