Revelation 3

Revelation
RevelationSteve Gregg

In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses Revelation 3 - a chapter in which Jesus sends letters to the seven churches of Asia. Gregg notes that two of these letters contain no negative feedback, but rather assess the churches as not being truly "alive." He stresses the importance of prioritizing the lordship of Jesus and the kingdom of God over earthly concerns like "bodies, bricks, [and] bucks." Gregg also analyzes perplexing statements in this chapter, such as the notion of having one's name "blotted out" of the book of life. Ultimately, he encourages listeners to persevere in their faith and seek special access to God through Jesus.
