Trial & Triumph: Revelation's Seven Churches
From the creators of the award-winning documentary series “Searching for a King”, comes a brand new, feature-length documentary on the letter written to the seven churches of Asia in the book of Revelation.
Jeremy Dehut takes an exciting and personal journey to modern-day Turkey, as he explores seven unique cities and talks with Dr. Mark Wilson, a leading researcher on ancient Biblical Turkey, and other archaeologists and historians.
By also highlighting the stories of Christians around the world who are living and learning from the same reliable and relevant message given to those seven churches, audiences are compelled to consider the challenges, cultural pressures, and victories that those 1st century Christians experienced and what the message of Revelation means for each of us today.

Amazing! My wife is from Nepal, and when we were there, we visited the temples, ( there is one every 1/10 of a mile, it seems) and people bring food there every day, giving it to some of the ugliest “gods” I’ve ever seen, and at the end of the day, the poor and elderly eat the food. They are a million more times faithful than Christian’s today, yet so lost. It’s heartbreaking.
No doubt God is using your ministry in so many amazing ways. Give God all the glory for the gift He has given you!

My husband, and my mom have visited the 7 churches a few times back in the mid 1990s. A lot has changed. We also climbed the mount in Sardis a few times (no fence there then). We loved the video and the message. I shared with with all my friends and got very favorable responses. It was a blessing to watch--Lord bless. I would be very interested in that questionnaire that you talk about in the beginning of the film. We just started a new Revelation study on Friday nights locally and that is why I was looking at videos and found yours. One of the things we want to find in Revelation this go around is Jesus--since it is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Last year we did a study weekend with friends all over the states on the 7 churches as a character study and saw some of the things you bring out, and we also appreciated the thoughts you have brought out. After watching it tonight with my husband (we watched some of the individual churches together, and later I found the whole movie and watched it myself) we said to each other--we are dead. Of all the churches we visited, I always loved Sardis the best--and sadly that was the dead church. I think we can identify at different times with all the churches and their issues, but tonight we felt dead. Not that we don't do a lot of things for the Lord all the time--but something is missing. We look forward to discussing this with our Bible Study group Friday. Lord bless and love from Alabama.

Wow I love watching these videos, they really help strengthen my faith and the Historical accuracy of the Bible! I live in Sacramento CA we have a large Russian speaking Slavic population, I really think they could all benefit from these videos. If you ever consider having these documentaries translated to Russian, it would really be a benefit to all! Especially with the whole Ukraine-Russia war going on, there’s really nothing like this in those languages. My family immigrated to the US from Ukraine 23 years ago and they still have trouble understanding English, since they focused on providing a good life for us! I really want to sit down with my parents and watch some of your documentaries in a language they can understand! Just an idea if you ever would like to expand your mission either way, they really help me personally! God bless you all, please continue making these high quality, Biblically and historically accurate videos! Praise God!

Thank you for sharing. I loved learning about the geography of Pergamum and Laodicea. When I look at the displays of the culture around us, now I think of how the idols of then are so obvious and what idols we are steeped in now. It's also interesting which cities thrived enough to build right over the ancient cities, and which did not.

God has blessed North America with so much blessings, wealth, etc., which enables us to squander our money on the luxuries of life and not thinking about those that are less fortunate. With the way things are now going, we might just loose these blessings, wealth, etc., because we have lost our first love. Lord forgive us and help us to return to you!

The documentary was well done. I have a question I come from Western thought- what does it mean to eat meat sacrificed to idols? How do you feed meat to something that does not live? I ask these questions with respect and desire to learn. Thank you.

It was common practice (and still is in some parts of the world) for worshippers of a deity to sacrifice an animal (a lamb, bull, goat, etc.) by killing the animal and burning some of it on an altar. The parts of the animal that were consumed by fire were thought to have been consumed by the deity and the meat that remained would be eaten by the worshipper or sold in the common marketplace for others to eat as well. A recurring issue throughout that time (and mentioned several times in the New Testament) is that by eating food that had first been offered to a false god, many believed that they were condoning and even participating in the worship of that god.

Can't help but think of the false man made doctrines of "once saved always saved" or "eternal security" when reflecting on the warning given to the assembly at Sardis.
Ezekiel 14:3 3“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them? 1 Corinthians 10:19-21 19What am I saying then? That an idol is anything, or what is offered to idols is anything? 20Rather, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God, and I do not want you to have fellowship with demons. 21You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord’s table and of the table of demons.
There is still physical idol worship in many parts of the earth
