The Church of Thyratira: Revelation 2:18-28
In America, most of us have not been physically threatened for our faith. However, like the church at Thyratira, I would argue that most of our greatest temptations to compromise stem from either economic or social pressures. The church today is radically tempted to compromise by valuing the same things that the culture around us values. We serve a God who calls us to consider everything rubbish in order that we might gain Christ and be found in him. We cannot cling to the values of this world and still hold fast to the righteousness of our savior. Jesus offers us himself. Jesus calls us live lives of repentance, constantly letting go of our sin and clinging to his blood, shed on the cross for our sin, to forgive us and give us his perfect righteousness.

Life is more enjoyable when you are connected with your spouse. No duh, right? But the number of couples who live their lives in isolation is staggering. Take a look around the church and you’ll see them everywhere. They may be doing their best to look like they are “together” but sadly it’s just an act. They aren’t connected to their spouse and they definitely aren’t connected to a larger community. This isn’t a condemnation, just a reality. We want to change that.
