The Black Sheep

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

Jezebel was the stimulus that moved King Ahab to violate the Torah and turning to evil and idolatry. Something similar was happening in Thyatria. Don't let it happen in your church.

“The Black Sheep” Rev. 2:18-29 Michael H. Koplitz This letter to the church at Thyatira is the longest of the seven letters. It’s symbolism focuses on a woman named Jezebel.

Staying Pure In Heart

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Sep 8, 2021

In our world today, many are doubting God and turning away from Him. So how can we strengthen our faith and remain faithful? We only need to remember that Christ will one day return and rid this world of all sin, immorality, and suffering.

I want you to think about your spiritual life for a moment. How would you rank your spiritual life? Is it backsliding? Is it stagnant? Or is it growing? We're going to again use the Book of Revelation and a letter that Jesus wrote to the church in Thyatira to examine our own spiritual ...read more

How Jesus Feels About Idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Sep 22, 2025

Jesus views turning to other gods, as being sexually immoral to your Husband. Also, the persecution will one day be reversed, and we will rule with an iron rod, if we overcome/conquer.

How Jesus feels about idolatry (Revelation 2:12-28) Today, we will tackle two of Jesus' messages, to two of the seven churches. The first one, that I'll use as kind of skeleton and starting point, is to the angel and his church in Pergamum. About half way through, I'll add in the ...read more

16. The Kingdom Parables – The Fourth – The Leaven – Part 3 Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 8, 2025

We look into the church at Thyatira in more detail to see how wicked it really was. That church parallels the Parable of the Leaven. It also represents the period of Church History with the development of the Roman Catholic Church that grew out of the Pergamum church.

16. THE KINGDOM PARABLES – THE FOURTH – THE LEAVEN – Part 3 NOW WHERE IS THIS PARABLE LEADING US? We have seen in the first three parables of the kingdom that each parable associates itself with one of the churches of Asia Minor to whom John wrote, and also, that each parable associates with ...read more

The Seven Churches-Thyatira Series

4 A Convinced Overcomer Series

Contributed by Kent Kessler on May 30, 2025

Thyratira was having a revival! But like many churches advancing for the Lord, it came time to confront an evil that was being TOLERATED among the people. The spirit of Jezebel lives on. It did in Thyatira. Does it here?

Have you ever been a part of something too wonderful to comprehend? A couple years ago our family went to Cedar Point and my youngest was still getting used to roller coasters –a love for which my wife and I had developed since our youth and enjoyed two days as a part of our honeymoon.

Thyatira: The Corrupt Church Series

Contributed by Duane Wente on Mar 6, 2026

A church can look alive and still be drifting. In His letter to Thyatira, Jesus warns against quiet compromise and calls His people back to wholehearted allegiance. Faithfulness is not measured by activity, but by loyalty to Christ.

# Introduction As we begin this morning, before we listen to what Jesus says to Thyatira, let’s take just a few minutes and review where we have been. We started our study by stepping into Revelation chapter 1. Jesus revealed Himself to His church. We saw Him walking among the lampstands. We ...read more
