Letter to the Church in Pergamum

 

This past Sunday, we examined the church of Pergamum. Jesus praises the church for holding fast to His name and not denying their faith in Christ even in the midst of persecution. However, Jesus warns the church that they have compromised their theology and the church by allowing false teaching. Because of the false teaching and their toleration of the false doctrine, Jesus tells them He will come and judge them by the "sword of His mouth". Christ's solution is to repent.
