To the Churches… | Revelation 2:1–11 | The Book of Revelation
About this episode
Pastor J.D. discusses the dangers of compromising beliefs through the letters to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna in Revelation 2.
We may think that making a small compromise here and there doesn’t matter. But the truth is that there is inherent danger in compromising our beliefs or morals, danger that can sometimes lead to disaster. In this message from Revelation 2, Pastor J.D. takes us through John’s letters to the churches at Ephesus and Smyrna, showing us where Jesus both commends and challenges these congregations. Jesus’ warning should serve as a sobering reminder to us today: It’s possible to be faithful to the doctrines and practices of Jesus while having hearts that are cold and far from him.
