Finding Our Way Back // Week 4

THYATIRA

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: 

These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.  I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.     Revelation 2:18 - 20

I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.  I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.      Revelation 2:21 - 23

To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. Revelation 2:18

I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.     

Revelation 2:19

Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.      Revelation 2:20 

“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female’, and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh?’  So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate.”      Matthew 19:4 - 6

JEZEBEL

Are you a tolerant Christian?

Is Christianity a tolerant faith?

In our culture today, TOLERANCE is the #1 celebrated virtue.

Can you and I have compassion without compromise? Yes, we can!

Let’s not change the Word of God, let’s let the Word of God change us.

The gift of repentance.

Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets… I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.     Revelation 2:24

Hold On
