The Deeper Deception (3 of 6)

But the moment we join Jesus on mission in the world, the world starts sending mission killers our way, T-1000 Terminators designed to take us off mission.
And we've already talked about several of these mission killers.

Why don't you go ahead and grab a bible and make your way to Revelation 2. Let's see together...

These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
In each of these seven letters, Jesus identifies himself in a unique way. And the way he identifies himself gives us immediate insight into the particular mission killer that church was facing. So what does Jesus t ...
