I Am Coming Soon

Jesus ends His letter to the Church with a declaration that echoes through every generation: “I am coming soon.” How does the church hold onto that promise when the waiting feels long and the frustrations of the Fall so deep? We do so with a posture of a people living in eager expectation.

Dear Lukewarm Church

As we pull out of the mailbag, Jesus’ final letter to the seven churches, we find Him calling out a church that had grown so self-sufficient they no longer depended on heaven’s resources—leaving them distastefully lukewarm to Jesus. His words still echo today: Have we become lukewarm, too?

Dear Faithful Church

Today, church success is too often measured by attendance and budgets. Yet in His letter to Philadelphia, Jesus celebrates a small, suffering church—not for its size or strength, but for its faithfulness and fruitfulness in the midst of hardship. His metrics must become ours: faithfulness and fruitfulness.

Dear Dead Church

In His letters to the churches, Jesus doesn’t flatter—He reveals. To Sardis, He speaks to the danger of drifting into reputation over reality. It’s a call to wake up, strengthen what remains, and recover what’s been lost. Jesus’ words tear away appearances and ask us to face a hard question: are we truly awake, or just acting alive?

Dear Tolerant Church

Jesus’ letter to the Church in Thyatira teaches us that not all tolerance is love, and not all peace is faithfulness. In our age that celebrates a “new” tolerance, Jesus calls His people to discern truth from deception and to stand firm when anything or anyone is quietly leading hearts astray.

Dear Compromising Church

When Christian truth meets cultural pressure, compromise can seem easier than conviction. In His letter to the church in Pergamum, Jesus exposes how faith can quietly blend with culture—and invites us to stay rooted, courageous, and faithful through the power of His Word.

Dear Suffering Church

Jesus never promised His people freedom from suffering—in fact, He promised suffering for His name. In His letter to the church in Smyrna, He prepares them for the cost of faithfulness. Yet to those who endure with Him, He offers what the world can never take away: the crown of victory and the gift of eternal life. That unshakable hope is what carries the Church through the fire.

From Death to Life

"If by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ." Romans 5:17

Dear Loveless Church

In the first of His seven letters, Jesus shares a deep concern for His Church: you can be busy for Him and right about Him—and still grow cold toward Him. In other words, a church can be orthodox in doctrine and active in works, yet lack real love. Jesus calls His people to remember, repent, and return to their first love.

With Love, From Jesus

Before John picks up the pen to relay the message to the churches, he’s given a breathtaking vision of the One who speaks. His eyes blaze like fire, His voice thunders like rushing waters—He is the royal, risen King, and yet His words come with love for His people. This Sunday, we’ll see how these letters are not just ancient words to ancient churches, but living words with love from Jesus for us today.
