Sumatra with the Seven Churches is part of the
Coffee Cup Bible Studies, a series of Bible studies for women in compact, workbook format that examine the "life and times" of certain Bible characters and the books of the Bible that pertain to them. Each study is to be read over a four-to-six week period, and study sections are broken down into short, daily segments designed to fit reader's busy lifestyles. Understanding that time is precious, the
Coffee Cup Bible Studies are patterned in such a convenient way that they can be read during brief windows of opportunity that allow for meditation and study (breakfast, lunch, coffee breaks, etc.). Scripture is provided from the
NET Bible (New English Translation),making Bible study convenient for occasions when you can't carry a Bible.
Sumatra with the Seven Churches is a study that explores only a few chaptersof revelation rather that the entire book. Our focus in this study is on the messages to those seven churches and how that information is relevant for us today. Are you ready for our trip through ancient Turkey and the seven churches in the Book of revelation? If so, fasten your seat belt and travel back in time to the ancient world, where our journey begins.
