Revelation 2:12-2:29 | This week's message looks at both Pergamum and Thyatira. Though some 70 kilometers apart, they both were faced with the same issue, that of compromising allegiance from within. We all must ask ourselves: who sits on the throne in my heart?

Revelation 2:18-2:29 | Where Ephesus lacked love, Thyatira lacked truth. And a healthy church needs both. What does Jesus think of a church that tolerates evil? You don't have to wonder, Jesus tells this church exactly what He thinks about it.

Revelation 2:12-2:17 | The church at Pergamum was threatened from the outside. It experienced a lot of the same suffering and persecution that the church of Smyrna was commended for withstanding and it too remained faithful to Christ.

The same thing is true in our spiritual lives, we can become stuck in one area and forget others after a while, which is why Jesus writes this letter to the church.
