Revelation: Pergamum
As we continue our exploration of the 7 churches in Revelation, we now venture into the captivating narrative of the Church of Pergamum in this third sermon. Pastor Mark will walk alongside us, gently guiding our introspection into the areas of our lives that veer from the divine path, as well as the internal conflicts that hinder our efforts to abandon these shortcomings.
In today's sermon, we shall delve into the intriguing history of the Pergamum church, shedding light on the impediments they faced in their pursuit of unwavering devotion to Jesus. By comprehending their struggles, we can extract invaluable wisdom for confronting our own internal battles with sin and temptation.
As we plunge into the depths of God's Word, let us unlock our hearts and minds to embrace the teachings derived from the Church of Pergamum's experiences. We beseech the Lord for His divine wisdom and fortitude to assist us in surmounting the obstacles in our paths, enabling us to persevere in our commitment to Him throughout our spiritual journey.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
