Pergamum: The Compromising Church

While exiled on the island of Patmos, the apostle John received a vision from Jesus, which we know as the book of Revelation. Contained in this vision were instructions to write letters to seven churches located in first-century Asia Minor. Each letter gave an honest diagnosis of that particular church's current spiritual condition, and included both words of commendation and words of criticism. And while these letters were written to specific churches, they were never intended to be limited to a single audience. They also serve as a warning to the greater church throughout history, and that includes us. In this series, we will hear how these ancient and mysterious letters from Revelation still speak to the modern church of today.
