Show Notes

In this thought-provoking sermon, we explore the message to the church in Thyatira from Revelation 2:18-29. The message to Thyatira is a timely reminder for Christians to be vigilant against the alluring, deceptive nature of sin and how Jesus can help us overcome it.

We begin by providing historical context, painting a vivid picture of the early church in Thyratira – a thriving trade center known for its dyeing, weaving, and metalworking industries. This bustling city also had a plethora of pagan cults and religious practices, which greatly influenced the believers' lives.

Our focus then shifts to the spiritual symbolism of Babylon, representing the worldly systems and values that seduce believers away from their faith. We unpack how the church in Thyatira tolerated the teachings of Jezebel, who lured followers into sexual immorality and idolatry. This tolerance is a warning to us, as Christians today, to be wary of permitting similar influences in our lives.
