If God knows we aren't perfect, what does He actually expect from us?

In week two of our Revelation series, we explore Jesus' messages to the seven churches and discover a challenge that is just as relevant today as it was in the first century. While each church faced different circumstances, they all wrestled with the same temptation: compromising their faith by allowing other loyalties, beliefs, and priorities to compete with their devotion to Jesus.

Through these messages, we learn that God is not looking for perfection from His people. He is cultivating faithfulness. As followers of Jesus, we are called to remain faithful in what we believe, how we live, and how we embody the hope of God's kingdom in a world filled with competing voices and allegiances.

Questions for Reflection:
• What competing influences or loyalties are most likely to distract you from wholehearted devotion to Jesus?
• What would it look like for you to practice "enacted hope" this week by living today in light of God's future restoration?
