Revelation 1:9–15

I, John, your brother who share with you in Jesus the persecution and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos because

  • f the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was

in the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

Revelation 1:9–15

Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lamp stands, and in the midst of the lamp stands I saw one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters.

The Four Main Reasons For Leaving The Church

  • 1. I Feel judged
  • 2. I do not want to be lectured
  • 3. Church people are a bunch of hypocrites
  • 4. Your God is irrelevant to my life. But I’d like to

know there is a God and He cares about me.

“lol—thanks! I know, I’m a bad church goer, but

  • ne day you will see me again!

I hate to say it, but I find that lots of people who go to church are rude in real life and then go to church on Sunday and expect everything to be

  • kay/forgiven… I’d rather be kind on a daily basis

and find myself closer to God when I’m growing things in my yard…”
