The Letter to the Church in Pergamum (Rev. 2:12-17)

Join Cory and Trent read and discuss the letter to the church in Pergamum in Revelation 2:12-17. This is the third of seven letters written to local churches enduring tribulation in Asia minor during the first century. In these seven letters Christ gives a personal and practical message for congregations enduring persecution to hear and heed.

In the letter to the church at Pergamum, Cory and Trent will discuss the idea that a church can be faithful in proclamation yet unfaithful in practice. The church at Pergamum had begun to compromise with the world by holding the teachings of those whose desire it was to lead them away from God.

In the letter to the church at Pergamum we’re reminded to keep watch of the life and teachings of those we follow, those we commit to in a local church, and our own lives as well. The church is called to rightly judge one another so that it may not face the righteous judgment of God.
