In this week's sermon, Pastor John explored the lessons we can learn from the seven churches mentioned in Revelation, especially focusing on the church of Pergamum. Pastor John compared reading these chapters to looking in a mirror to see our true selves, including our flaws. He reminded us that Jesus must be at the center of our lives, as the church of Ephesus forgot. We also looked at the church of Smyrna, who faced persecution but held strong. Then, Pastor John addressed Pergamum, a church that struggled with compromise, mixing God's truth with misleading teachings. He emphasized the importance of staying true to our faith without compromising to fit in with the world. In conclusion, Pastor John urged us to hold tight to God's Word, as it strengthens us against compromise and guides us to live faithfully. It challenges and comforts us, pushing us to grow as we strive to be the church of Jesus Christ in our community.
