I love these videos on the 7 churches. Brings so much background to the teaching. This narrator is amazing. Well-known, and easy to grasp. I'm very thankful for this program. May God continue to bless this program.
I see that as I am commenting this posting has only been on RU-vid for 7 days. I hope thousands of others will avail themselves of this fine presentation. Glory be to God and His Son Jesus Christ.
What a great lesson to learn here, l must prevail...and have my white stone at last..Thank you Jesus,the first time l understand the book of Revelation and the letters to these 7 churches.
Powerful presentation of the life of a Christian living in a city that is like Sodom & Gomorrah!! The Christians in the Western World has take the Gospel for granted and we are heading away from the Straight & Narrow Path!! Repentance is the Call of the Day!! Thank you Bro.Joe for the best and powerful presentation of the 7 Churches I've heard in my 40 years of Christian life. God bless you, your family and Cornerstone University!!!
The spoken messge is very convicting and sincere. He doesn't hold anything back about the challenges of being a Christian both then and now. Thank you to Dr. Stowell.
Like the way he said the church in the world but the world in the church. To much Pergemos in the church not the church in Pergemos. Every video of the 7 churches has something for me that makes my light bulb turn on in my head. Much to dwell on. Much to work on in my life. Much to work on my own salvation. Thank you for your wisdom God has given you. I love it.

These videos are transforming many lives around the world. The presence of God is felt when Brother Joseph Stowell talks about the 7 Churches and other programs. You can see his sincerity when he points out the current sin and even corruption of many of our churches today. May God continue to use these programs to open our eyes to the reality of what it means to be a true Christian today.
It is amazing to me, that though we face the same obstacles and pitfalls, the trials and tribulations that we face for holding to our faith, the one true faith, it is unlikely that most of us would face being placed inside a copper bull and slowly, painfully being burned alive. How much easier to just say the words that would say our lives in the face of that pressure, yet if we confess the name of Jesus before men, He will confess our name before the Father! Fear not the one who can kill the body rather fear Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
I am so lucky to have come across this video. Thankyou so much for allowing God to use you to make us understand the Background behind the letters to the seven churches in Revelation. Thankyou so much

Lord Jesus may you bless and guide our churches today and avoid confusions among us and that the right gospel should be preach before the next event takes place..Amen🙏❤️Thank you Jesus

Last week Revelation came up in my readings. Whenever I re-read I always try to look for something different to gain a little more understanding. I decided to really look at what Jesus told those in each church they'd receive if they remained faithful. During the days of studying in those chapters this video series happened to get recommended. It has shed some very interesting historical context that I heretofore lacked. I am truly enjoying this series.
A few months ago I started writing letters to the pastor of the church I've been attending for several years. Mainly about avoiding the harder to swallow passages on the topics of hell, adultery, homosexuality and misrepresenting those who have passed by not calling out their depraved moral state along side their confessed Christianity. For some reason we all want to hear the "good" side of things and negate the sin when people pass, go figure. Nevertheless, our home group leader (an elder in the church) decided a month ago we would start a study in Revelation, of course the seven churches. God's timing is perfect. Who knew that my letters to the church (continue to this day) were to coincide with our study of the seven churches in Revelation. God did. He who has an ear, let them hear what the Spirit is saying to the seven churches. Thx for the video.
@@ourdailybread yes, in 1992. Will check out your reference. Your video I commented on also gave a great inspirational message. This morning, I prayed while going to Rondebosch common in Cape Town near my house to photograph birds. I asked for refreshment of my, so far, 9 year revival. Within 10 minutes God blessed me out of my socks with some beautiful bird photos of an Cape Longclaw which I am busy posting on "Friends Of Rondebosch Common" facebook. I will be delighted if you have a look. i have just subscribed to your sight. God bless and thanks again.
It's been almost a year since I fist saw this series. The way Dr. Joseph quietly leads us historically & spirituality through the 7 churches in the Book of Revelation never fails to enlighten & move me. This one on Pergamum is particularly fascinating
We're so glad you have enjoyed this series, Sabrina! Have you seen “The Holy Land”? Check it out here: ru-vid.com/group/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB
What I love about this documentary is that I finally realise Jesus's Word and Spirit that conquered a pagan religion and made them all see the True God Yahweh, All Glory and Honour to God and His Son Jesus Christ Amen 🙏🥰❤🕊✝️I watched these many times The Truth strength me.
Thank you for this wonderful video ❤️ Yep, I see this church like us going through the Tribulation. Some Christians to fit in and not stand out will forsake Jesus’s name and do things which they shouldn’t. The manna and stone given here reminds me of the Bridegroom’s Banquet in heaven which if you don’t give in to the world and forsake Jesus you will have a seat at the table and the 144,000 given a name that’s nobody knows only them. Great video thank you again. God bless and stay safe xx
And the mandatory Vax issue in Canada and Australia that churches have gone silent on to avoid government penalties.....and Christians willingly take this evil concoction without questioning....day by day we see the harmful it to the people. Where are God's leaders?
This was excellent! Thank you so much for your ministry. I appreciated the application to present day, and agreed with everything you said! God bless you.
What great and anointed messages from the HOLY SPIRIT 💓💓🙏🙏🇮🇱 thank you for the message and may God bless you and your ministry. Grace and peace to all of you 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️😀
Thank you, Bruce! We’re so glad you enjoyed this series. Have you seen “The Holy Land”? Check it out here: ru-vid.com/group/PLPOUA7GLxXIGkhikntfiT4ida1lKbSNNB
Excellent account! Great teaching on holding fast! Needed correction regarding repentance. Like the analogy of manna in every area of our lives. Very inspiring about having a unique, individual name! Thank you! God bless!
How marvelous. How wonderful. For this, my entire soul shall sing! Christ! Christ alone! Worthy of all: HONOR. PRAISE. WORSHIP. HAIL KING JESUS! For our ALMIGHTY GOD REIGNS! \●/ \●/ \●/
"If we are unfaithful, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny who He is." (2 Timothy 2:13) "God, who has called you into fellowship with His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful." (1 Corinthians 1:9) "And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6)
Thank you so much for explaining the seven churches of Revelation. I have been reading about them but I only knew about laodecia as the present church but did not know about the time frame of the other six churches. Thank you for unvailing this important information for better understanding. May the Lord God Almighty be with us all to remain faithful to His word until He comes to take us away from this world of pain and suffering to our heavenly home which He has prepared for those who endure to the end. Amen!
I'm in tears of this cleared information/message. All I can say that sometimes we are like the 7 Churches in Revelation. But, by the grace of God we are slowly transform. Thanks You Pastor Joe for that inspiring message. 🙏
"Churches today are like a psychological pep rally". Exactly!! It's nauseating and appalling how far our churches have fallen. Stop telling me what a great person I am. Tell me that my sins keep me separated from Jesus. Tell me and teach me to repent. Tell me how horrific going to hell is. Keep me at the foot of the Cross.
I have just seen this episode once more. What a lesson for today, full of meaning and understanding of God's word: how easy it is to let go and get tired of following Christ and compromise. How difficult must have been to live back then in those days, in comparison to living in our modern era! Thank you Dr. Stowell again for your great insight and understanding of God's word, history, and how you are able to transmit it!
Well done . Great understanding of what the early church went through. Christianity has always had a difficult time. The churches in Turkey suffered greatly. I enjoyed your presentation.
I had watched some Vdos trying to bring out the Patmos story including John's visions, call it Revelation. But I was left wanting, I kept googling until I got u. I thank God am fully satisfied and I don't regret watching it. How I wish many would watch it. God bless and continue to provide for u abundantly, as you minister. Continue to do many more of these starting from Genesis through the whole Bible. There is away in which the Bible becomes interesting as we identify with the places of its historical occurrences.
The 7 spirits of churches is the same 7 churches that exist today theres nothing new under the sun, it's a spiritual metaphor for the state of the dead church
