    Nothing corrupts a church any quicker than worldliness. Pergamum was a corrupted church. It is a picture of a church that is married to the world.

    Would you agree that worldliness corrupts churches? There are 4 things that cause a church to become worldly. 1. The church begins to participate in worldly functions. 2. The church allows worldly activities to take place in the church and even in the homes of its members. 3. The church begins to ...read more

    A very easy-to-understand teaching on Revelation 2.

    In my very first position as a Senior Pastor, I quickly became aware of the major problem found in churches today. About three months into the job, I preached about the Rapture. I made sure it was not the old "hellfire & brimstone" type of message, and I even added some levity to a few parts, but ...read more

    The church must hold to the right doctrine. In Pergamos, they held to the name of Christ, but it had no content or real meaning to them.

    As the messenger who was carrying this letter from the island of Patmos where John wrote it, he would have come to Ephesus first. He would have stayed there while it was read and then left them a copy. Then he would have headed north to Smyrna and done the same thing. The third stop on his ...read more

    Congregations today are in peril of being like the Church in Pergamum: confessing Christ in a culture that is unfriendly to Christianity, but embracing the lifestyle of those who are not Christian.

Emperor worship was strong with Augustus, Trajan, Septimus Severus, Athçna, Zeus, Dionysius and the Asklepios. They were a center of culture, learning and emperor worship.

    Hold fast to the Word, for we stand under the judgement of God’s Word. Do not compromise at all cost.

    Holding on to the truth is of vital importance. - It is a matter of life and death, blessing or suffering, reward or judgement. - Jesus emphasizes this need to the two churches. - They performed well in many ways but not in the guarding of God’s truth. We need to (1) HOLD FAST TO THE TRUTH - ...read more
