Pastor Randy explained that the 7 churches represent a) 7 literal churches in the 1st century, b) 7 periods of the church age, and c) 7 types of churches that exist in every generation. He also emphasized the pattern of each letter: attributes of Christ, His commendations, His critique, His counsel, and the rewards for those who overcome.

God will not force His way into our lives but by His grace, we may all open the door of our heart to His free offer of salvation.
