Investing in your Local Church

What image describes your Local Church?

Have you ever experienced the glorious architecture of a grande cathedral (like Notre Dame {pictured})?

Even the grandest of church buildings — ancient monument of faith or contemporary construction of a multiplying church — cannot convey fully the glory of Christ Jesus or the grace received by so many members of that local church.

Take a look at the investments of Christians in these seven churches.

The NAME on your local Church

• Have you seen these church buildings?
• Should you see some similarity to the reputation of your own LOCAL church?

The map from first century Turkey may seem irrelevant as you build your bigger building in this 21st century of these last days, but NOTE the INSCRIPTION of these seven churches etched in the New King James Version of the Bible.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ to John:

.. and the seven churches

1. The Loveless Church
2. The Persecuted Church
3. The Compromising Church
4. The Corrupt Church
5. The Dead Church
6. The Faithful Church
7. The Lukewarm Church
