Almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus instructed the apostle John to write letters to the seven churches mentioned in the book of Revelation. These letters, still relevant today, affirm God's love through Jesus' death and resurrection, address and rectify the churches' issues, and provide hope and encouragement for the future.
