Sumatra with the Seven Churches
Sumatra with the Seven Churches takes readers back in time to ancient Asia, where we consider Jesus’s messages to some of the world’s earliest churches.

Study Length — Eight Weeks
Sumatra with the Seven Churches is an eight-week study in the Coffee Cup series. It explores the first three chapters of the Book of Revelation–a section of the Bible that contains letters to seven churches in Asia (ancient Turkey). The focus in this study is on Christ’s messages to those seven churches and how his words are relevant to all believers today.
In Ephesus we remember our first love; in Laodicea we learn what makes Jesus want to spew. In each city we consider background information that helps us understand the message crafted for them. In the process we find timeless truths that apply to our own lives in the here-and-now.
While most of the Book of Revelation is apocalyptic, the first few chapters contain letters or messages to seven churches. It is these chapters that are the focus of Sumatra with the Seven Churches. So grab a cup of your favorite brew and gather some friends or study alone. (The book is designed for both group and individual study.)
This and all the Coffee Cup Bible Study series books contain Monday-through-Friday Bible studies with devotional thoughts for light reading on the weekends. A leader’s guide is available below.
For this study Sandra Glahn teamed up with a former student, Crickett Keeth. She loves her Bible studies, and wanted to introduce her to a broader audience. Glahn thinks you’ll love what she adds, too.
