Galatians 1:6-9

Revelation 2:18-29 Our culture calls us to be more tolerant. Jesus, in his letter to the Church at Thyatira, indicts them for their tolerance of sin within the church. As believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, we can't expect a lost and dying world to follow Christ in obedience, but we must demand it within the church. Intolerance of sin is a good thing. But the challenges are real. Keith Pond opens up what Jesus said within the Revelation to the church at Thyatira.

Revelation 2:12-17 As Jesus commends, convicts, and condemns the various churches of Asia Minor (western Turkey), he comes to Pergamum, a city high on the coast, a city steeped in paganism. The lessons of that church 2000 years ago are fresh for us today. We must continue to hold fast to Christ in faith despite intense persecution. And we must be wary of false teachers who will lead us on the slippery slope of immorality and idolatry. Jesus' promises of blessing and judgment for those who hear and those who do not should cause us to take note. Keith Pond explains.

1 Peter 4:9 Did you know that showing hospitality is not an option? God calls us to show hospitality so that we might lavish his love on others as he has lavished his love upon us. Pastor Mollenkopf challenges the church with that truth this morning.

1 Peter 4:7-11 Christ’s victory ushered us into the final stage of God’s redemption plan. Because of this, the demonic realm rages against us (4:1-6). To withstand the onslaught and the certain suffering, we must fight together through prayer, loving relationships, hospitality, and serving one another. Pastor Mollenkopf walks us through this importan passage in Peter's first letter.
