LAST WEEK
We looked at the church of Pergamos
We learned that they were doing the work of the ministry, and enduring persecution.
We also learned that Pergamos had allowed people with conflicting doctrines to make themselves at home within the Church.
To those who overcame the persecution, and stood up for righteousness, they would be given 2 things that the compromised were struggling with.
1. Hidden Manna
As an option to stop eating food sacrificed to idols.
2. A White Stone with a new Name
As an option for those who allowed their sexual identity to control their lives.
THIS WEEK
We are going to look at a very similiar Church
A Church who had a lot going for it
But a Church whose permissive compromise led to a very destructive end.
BEFORE WE BEGIN
LET’S ASK OURSELVES SOME QUESTIONS
Have we ever been in a season where the things that we once deemed spiritually valuable have been pushed to the way side by other stuff?
Have we ever began something with the intention not to finish it?
What are the things hindering our growth in this life long journey?
What are we allowing into our lives that is forcing us to participate in things that only bring temporal pleasure?
TURN TO
PRAY
:
TO THE ANGEL OF THE CHURCH IN THYATIRA
To the messenger
To the overseer
To the Pastor of the Church in Thyatira
THESE THINGS SAYS THE SON OF GOD
WHO HAS EYES LIKE A FLAME OF FIRE
FEET LIKE FINE BRASS
For the Church of Thyatira and for it’s Pastor
It was crucial for them to understand who Jesus was
Because from that point of reference they would be able to build their entire identity.
They would be able to put build with eternal matter
They needed to know that Jesus was the Son of God
In a culture that hailed many as Prophets
From within a very idolatrous community
In the midst of common immorality
God himself wanted this Church to know that Jesus was indeed the Son of God
The Son of God, who had eyes like a flame of fire!
Jesus is not only communicating that He is the Savior of the World
But that He is able to penetrate through our sinfulness and bring about a more righteous result than we ever could.
Church, we need to know that Jesus desires for us to be pure
He sees us with purity in mind
He sees us through the lens of the purifying blood of Jesus Christ
His Blood is purifying, and His Vision for the Church is Pure.
But that He is able to penetrate through our sinfulness and bring about a more righteous result than we ever could.
But not only that He has feet like Fine Brass
Which speak to his stability
Speaks to a firm foundation
Speaks to an immovable being.
THIS IS THE AUTHOR OF THE LETTER
JESUS THE SON OF GOD
WHO HAS EYES LIKE A FLAME OF FIRE
WHOSE FEET ARE LIKE FINE BRASS
NOW, WHO IS HE WRITING TO?
WHO WAS THYATIRA?
The ancient city was known for its textiles and dyeing trade, evidenced by a number of artifacts and inscriptions from the various guilds of wool workers, linen weavers, tanners, and dyers
An Ancient city known for its textiles and dyeing trade,
Archaeologists have found many artifacts and inscriptions from the various guilds of wool workers, linen weavers, tanners, and dyers

Not only was she succesful
She helped plant a Church in Philippi
LYDIA?

Thyatira is known as the bustling city of Akhisar.
The archaeological remains of ancient Thyatira are located within a fenced-off city block right in the heart of Akhisar.
It stands as a testimony of what happens to a Church that perused compromising doctrines and practices.
LIKE MOST CHURCHES
THEY WEREN’T ALL BAD
THE CHURCH OF THYATIRA HAD SOME VERY GOOD PRACTICES, CHECK IT OUT.
SO, WHAT STANDS IN THE WAY OF BEING A GREAT CHURCH?
Rev 2:
I KNOW YOUR WORKS // Ergon
Your works and deeds
What you are doing for Jesus
I KNOW YOUR LOVE // Agapao
I know your
I know that you love people
I KNOW YOUR SERVICE // Diakonia
I know your Service
A Service that has turned into Faith
This is very closely related to the work of a Deacon Diakonos.
I KNOW YOUR PATIENCE // Hypomone
HYPOMONE
Your Perseverance
Your Steadfastness
COLLECTIVELY, YOU’VE DONE GREAT THINGS
You have done well in these areas
BUT THE QUANTITY OF THESE WORKS HAS INDEED DECREASED AS OF LATE.
Why would Jesus call out the quantity of works?
I thought that wasn’t a thing
CHURCH, IF OUR WORKS FOR JESUS ARE DECREASING, WHAT HAPPENED?
If we started serving Jesus passionately at one point
If we were all about serving Jesus at one point
If we were excited about Church at one point
AND THAT PASSION HAS FADED
WE MUST ASK OURSELVES WHY?
BUT NOT ONLY WHY?
WE MUST CALL OUT THE THINGS THAT HAVE REPLACED SERVING GOD IN OUR LIVES.
