Engaging Culture with Biblical Truth. A weekly podcast of truth and hope from a biblical perspective.
Looking at Jesus's words to the church in Thyatira from Revelation 2:18-29, we see a powerful warning against the subtle danger of compromise. While they were a loving and serving church, their tolerance of false teaching brought them into a state of spiritual peril. This message challenges us to examine our own lives and churches, asking if we are holding fast to the truth or slowly drifting away by compromising with the world.Complete Content Survey here.

This letter is a sober warning to the church in Pergamum, yet it is also a powerful message of hope and encouragement. It reminds us that Christ's authority is absolute, His truth is uncompromising, and His rewards are eternal, even as we face the pressure to conform to the "spirit of the age."Complete Content Survey here.

Imagine a city defined by its beauty and its wealth, its magnificent "Street of Gold" wrapping around Mt. Pagus like a jeweled crown. This was Smyrna, a city proud of its civic and religious loyalty to Rome. This city was so loyal to the emperor that it was the first in Asia to build a temple in honor of "Dea Roma"—the personification of Rome—and later a temple to Emperor Tiberius himself. But for the community of Christ this city brought persecution and poverty. In this episode we will explore the hope of Christ offered to the Christians in Smyrna through Jesus Christ.
