From the church of Thyatira we learn that we fall from grace when we allow any other authority than Jesus Christ to rule in our lives, and His church is weakened by rebellion against His established church leadership.
If there’s one thing we’ve learned as we’ve studied the first three churches of Revelation, it’s that there’s nothing new under the sun. As we’ve taken the time to look so far at these churches, we can see that no matter what we as a church are going through at this point in history – whatever it ...read more
