The Seven Churches of Revelation

Ephesus Church: The Church of Ephesus is known as Loveles church
Ephesus is the city of Ionia with a population of 250 thousand, where St. Paul wrote his letters to the Ephesians and the Evangelist St. John brought the Virgin Mary to spend her last years.
Smyrna Church: The Church of Smyrna that Remains Faithful to Jesus Amidst Persecution.
    In the city where Jewish are the majority, it is stated that the Romans persecuted the Christians because of the slander and accusations of the Jews against the Christians.
Pergamon Church: The Church of Pergamon is known as The Compromising Church.
Pergamum served as the capital of the Roman province of Asia Minor and was an important religious center for a number of pagan cults. The book of Acts makes no mention of the founding of this church. A polytheistic pagan culture surrounded the church in Pergamon.

Thyatira Church: The Church of Thyatira is Known as the church that followed the false prophets.
The people in the Akhisar district were rich and interested in trade. People would follow a false prophet and be led astray. Just like people today fall victim to the false religious teachings of some cult leaders

Sardis Church: The Church of Sardis is known as the Spiritually Dead or sleeping church
In the book of Revelation, our Lord accuses the Church of Sardis and the congregation of standing dead even though they appear to be "alive". He warns the community to "wake up", repent, and be of good moral character.

Philadelphia Church: The Church of Philadelphia: The Faithful Church That Endures Patiently Despite Weaknesses. Philadelphia was living in a synagogue community hostile to Christians. Christ praises the Philadelphia church for the faithfulness of his believers despite their weakness.

Laodicea Church: The Church of Laodicea means the Church of Warm Faith.
Laodicea, located 10 km away from Pamukkale, was the center of industry, agriculture, and trade, Laodicean people were rich. In the letter that Jesus wrote to the church of Laodicea, he immediately accuses the congregation of his lukewarm faith. He reproaches the congregation by "spitting" it out of his own mouth.  Christ rebukes this church for allowing the people of Laodicea to go spiritually bankrupt because of their economic prosperity. He explains that even if they are economically rich, they can provide spiritual wealth.
