Day 359...(2 Timothy 1,2; 1 John 5; Revelation 1,2,3)..."Seven Churches"

Revelation is a confusing Book. Yet...the teachings about seven churches make clear sense. Churches are strong and weak for reasons. We can learn from the seven in Revelation.

Ephesus - forgot first love Jesus
Smyrna - commended for faith in difficult times
Pergamum - reprimanded for bad teaching
Thyatira - reprimanded for too much tolerance
Sardis - Dead (needs to be alive)
Philadelphia - A great opportunity
Laodicea - Lukewarm (needs passion)

Can we not learn from these churches? What would our church be commended for or why would it be reprimanded?
