The Church Of Thyatira: The Consequences Of Appeasing Jezebel

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 23, 2023

Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3. It is also the city about which little is known. Yet, it is to this church that Jesus addresses His longest letter.

Thyatira was founded by the Macedonian conqueror Alexander the Great some 300 years before the birth of Christ. The name Thyatira means "unceasing sacrifice". It more than likely received this name because it was a military "buffer city", located some 40 miles southeast of ...read more

What Are People Buying And Selling In The Church?

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 27, 2024

So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. Mark 11:15 How do we translate this verse in this present generation. The church became ...read more

Why Church #5 Found In Freedom Series

Contributed by Robert Malcolm on Jan 8, 2025
