In our study of the 7 churches in the book of Revelation, we come now to the Church in Pergamum, and to the church that most closely resembles the American Church in our day.  Now Pergamum is called “the compromised church” because they had allowed false teaching to creep into and lodge itself in the church.  Unlike the encouraging introductory addresses we’ve seen to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna, the Lord comes to this church with a sword in hand poised to perform a surgical strike.  AND YET FOR THOSE WHO REPENT, the risen Christ offers promises of astonishing intimacy  –  the hidden manna, and a white stone with a new name that nobody in the universe knows but you and the Lord Jesus Christ.  Get your Word on with us in a riveting study where we lift up Christ, and lower the boom on the compromise inducing soul crushing toxicity of false teaching.
