Thyatira: The Church of "tolerance"

Have you set up protections in your life to keep yourself pure?

What is marriage? What is divorce? What is the authorization by God for divorce?

The Psalmist proclaims "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!" The Lord encourages, even demands his people to proclaim his goodness, and as his people, our holiness--that we are set apart unto him: called out from the world. This is especially true in a corporate way. God told his people numbering more than a million to loudly proclaim they were his--all at once! How, and where and what was this proclamation all about? How can God's people do this today? Come with the Grace United crew as we joyfully immerse ourselves into the Lord's command to corporately proclaim we are his people and he is our God.

Throughout the book of Revelation the Lord brings judgment on the world. God is holy. God is full of wrath. God will punish wickedness wherever He finds it. Not a pleasant thought. Or is it?

One of the things we learn (especially as we get older) is that if we want to stay healthy we need to watch what we eat (and I don’t mean as it goes into our mouths). It is common to hear that people are on diets that restrict salt, sugar, or other kinds of food because of health issues. It is a reality…

he Christians in Corinth had to face daily reminders their city was mostly pagan. Temple prostitution was common in the first century, as well as other vices. But the church had a situation which even the pagans in the city thought was inappropriate. Today, Pastor Dean takes a look at what Paul has to say about confronting immorality.

In today's message, Paul shares with the Corinthians a lesson from the children of Israel and the temptations they faced in the wilderness. Bringing it into the modern day, Pastor Dean reflects on how these lessons fit with life in 2022.

Have you ever been put in a situation where you had to choose between remaining silent or standing up for what you believe is right? In today's lesson, we find out that this was the case in the next church in the book of Revelation, the Church at Thyatira.
