Daily Study: God desires for us to win every fight of faith and walk perfectly in our calling. However, He knew we would have faith shortcomings that would cause us to lose a few faith fights and take a few wrong turns along the journey of our calling. With this foreknowledge, before He called you, He made provisions for your faith shortcomings so you would still win in the end.

Daily Study: Faith is required to receive the things you desire, so faith is important. However, most people struggle with faith, but the issue is not getting faith — that is the easy part — the real issue is keeping faith.

Daily Study: By your faith you receive the desires of your heart and are successful in the calling God has given you. Therefore, your faith is the most precious possession you have, so you must be careful not to lose it. The most common way Christians lose their faith is by not growing daily in faith, because if you aren't increasing in faith, you are decreasing in faith.

Sunday Service: Revelation 2:12–17 is a message from Jesus to the church in Pergamum, a city known as the place "where Satan has his throne." Jesus introduces Himself as the one with the sharp two-edged sword, symbolizing His authority, judgment, and the piercing power of God's Word to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart. He commends the church for holding fast to their faith even in the face of martyrdom, but rebukes them for tolerating false teachers like the Nicolaitans who were leading God's people into sexual immorality and idolatry. The issue of eating food offered to idols wasn't about the food itself, but the spiritual compromise and confusion it created among believers. Jesus calls the church to repent—meaning to change their way of thinking to align with God's truth—or else He will personally confront and remove the corrupting influence. He is not fighting the faithful but the deceivers among them. To those who overcome, Jesus promises hidden manna (salvation in Jesus), a white stone (symbolizing acquittal, victory, and acceptance), and a new name—representing a personal, intimate identity in Christ known only to the one who receives it.
