revelation 2:12-17

Revelation 2:12-17 is the text for this sermon entitled, "The Church Who Had a Faithful Witness: Pergamum."

In this Revelation passage, Jesus acknowledged the faithful witness of Antipas the martyr at Pergamum. He held Antipas up as a model for the church at Pergamum. 

Curtis goes over the history of the city and the church in the first century AD. Revelation calls Sardis a place where "Satan had a throne." That fallen angel was active in the city, working to corrupt Christians and prevent the gospel from spreading. To counteract that, Jesus remembers the amazing faith of Antipas who died rather than deny Jesus. We need to have before us the stories of the martyrs to strengthen and give us courage.

In this podcast, I discuss the scripture from Revelation 2:12-17, the letter to the church at Pergamum. In this passage, Jesus warns his people about the danger of compromising their faith. If you're struggling with temptation to compromise your faith, this podcast is for you. 

In this episode, I discuss the importance of staying faithful to Jesus and make the right life choices. If you're looking for help staying on the right path, this is the podcast for you!
