Thyatira is a place that serves one main purpose: to protect the capital city of Pergamum to the north. It is a military city that people mostly just pass through, but with so many people wandering through this city, it is one that can easily be changed by the culture around it.

The church in Thyatira is a changing church, one that is being conformed to the culture, not changed by God and this is the people Jesus is addressing this week. Do you desire Jesus or the world around you? If you're desire is for the world, then you need to look to Jesus, for he is unchanging and immovable.
