Podcasts about Thyatira

Hue continued our 7 churches of Revelation Series talking about the church in Thyatira.

Pastor Michael continues our sermon series by looking at the letter to the church in Thyatira and both problematizing the imagery of Jezebel and also calling us to reject the shaming and labeling practices of Empire. How might we continue to hold on to the promise of Jesus, who will make things right, even in the midst of our violent and divided world?

Jesus' letter to the Church in Thyatira teaches us that not all tolerance is love, and not all peace is faithfulness. In our age that celebrates a “new” tolerance, Jesus calls His people to discern truth from deception and to stand firm when anything or anyone is quietly leading hearts astray.

Primary Text: Zechariah 5 Supporting Texts: Revelation 2, Revelation 17, 1 Corinthians 6, Galatians 5 Theme: God's judgment against wickedness and deception; the prophetic parallels between Zechariah and Revelation. 1. Opening Context Zechariah 5 is closely related to the Book of Revelation, sharing themes of end-time judgment and spiritual deception. The speaker emphasizes discernment in “the last days,” praying for the church to recognize truth and avoid deception, citing Jesus' warning that even the elect could be deceived. 2. Review of Chapter 4 Zechariah's vision of two olive trees—interpreted as the two anointed ones (Moses and Elijah). Discussion compares the ministries of Elijah and Moses in Revelation's two witnesses, rejecting the idea that Enoch must die before the end. Enoch is seen as a type of the raptured church, while Moses and Elijah represent the two witnesses. 3. The Flying Scroll – Zechariah 5:1–4 The scroll symbolizes a curse over the earth, exposing lies and theft. It mirrors New Testament warnings about rejecting truth and living deceitfully. The speaker cites 1 Corinthians 6 and Galatians 5 to describe unrighteous behaviors—thievery, fornication, drunkenness, sorcery (pharmakeia / drug use)—that prevent inheritance of God's kingdom. Modern parallels: moral decay, the drug epidemic, and society's normalization of sin. God's curse enters the house of the liar and thief, consuming it—illustrating divine justice. 4. The Woman in the Basket – Zechariah 5:5–11 A woman sitting in a basket symbolizes wickedness personified. The lead cover restrains her until she is carried to Shinar (Babylon)—a prophetic image of wickedness being centralized and prepared for the final system of evil. The vision points to Babylon as the spiritual center of rebellion against God, ultimately reflected in Revelation. 5. Jezebel and the Spirit of Seduction – Revelation 2:18–29 Comparison to the Church of Thyatira, where “Jezebel” seduced believers into immorality and idolatry. Jezebel represents the spirit of manipulation and compromise within the church. God, in mercy, still offers her repentance—underscoring divine patience even toward those who corrupt the church. The greatest national sin is not just immorality but idolatry—replacing God with false worship or self-gratification. 6. The Great Harlot – Revelation 17 The woman in Zechariah 5 reappears symbolically as the great harlot, Babylon, who corrupts the nations and rides the beast. She represents the world system of deception, materialism, false religion, and rebellion against God. Her adornments (gold, purple, pearls) signify the seductive beauty of sin. The nations are “drunk with her fornication,” echoing humanity's addiction to pleasure and rebellion. Eventually, the kings of the earth turn against her—symbolizing the collapse of worldly evil under divine judgment. Despite the horror, Christ—the Lamb—overcomes all, as Lord of lords and King of kings. 7. Key Warnings and Applications Wickedness is real and organized. It will be judged in God's time. Discernment is vital. The church must stay rooted in Scripture to recognize deception. Repentance remains open. God extends mercy even to those deep in sin. Our allegiance matters. Being “married to the Lord” requires purity and faithfulness, avoiding seduction by the world. Final accountability. Every believer will stand before God—motivation to live in holiness and love. 8. Closing Exhortation The end is near; the systems of evil are aligning (“the two storks have flown in the basket of wickedness”). Believers must remain faithful, loving God's Word and reaching the lost. The session ends in prayer for steadfastness, gratitude, and daily surrender to God's will.

This week we continue our discussion of the seven churches of Asia by finishing our discussion of Pegamum, and spending some time with the church in Thyatira as well. Teacher: Justin P. Sivley

The church at Thyatira's significant problem happens to be a virtue of our culture today: tolerance to a fault. We can never masquerade love as tolerance of sin without expecting a reckoning to come.Preached on October 12th, 2025 by Jared Kress. Series: "Revelation: Behold, He Is Coming" Primary Text: Revelation 2:18-28. Join us in person Sundays at 10:30am at 6325 Poplar Ave, Memphis TN or online at https://www.kirbywoods.org/live. Follow us online! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kirbywoodsmemphis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kirbywoodsmemphis YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@kirbywoods Podcast: https://kirbywoodspodcast.buzzsprout.com

As this church grapples with an unidentified Jezebel of a prophetess, Jesus commends them for their faith, love, endurance, and service.

Dr. Randy White | Modern Service | Revelation 1:9-20I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 10 On the Lord's Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, 11 which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”12 I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.19 “Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now and what will take place later. 20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches

The church at Thyatira looked healthy on the surface, but beneath their love and service lurked dangerous compromise. Jesus, whose eyes are like fire, saw through it all. This message explores how false teaching and moral leniency can quietly destroy faith from within. Yet even in the midst of failure, Christ calls His people to repent, endure, and claim the promise of the Morning Star.

Revelation 2:24-25 Preached in the Sanctuary of Bethesda Shalom, Sunday 5th October, 2025. But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden. But that which ye have already hold fast till I come. 

When the church compromises, conviction fades. In Revelation 2, Jesus unpacks a sobering warning to Pergamum and Thyatira—that what we excuse, He exposes. Discover how Jesus calls His church to resist compromise, reject tolerance, and return to holiness.

In the fourth message of The Seven series, Trent teaches from Revelation 2:18–29, urging students to examine where they're going spiritually and whether they're growing or tolerating sin. Using the church in Thyatira as a warning, he contrasts the destruction that comes from compromise with the blessing and life that come from faithfulness to Christ. He closes by inviting students to follow Jesus one step at a time, trusting Him to lead them safely home.

Jesus, the Son of God who sees clearly and judges rightly, celebrates Thyatira's growing love, faith, service, and endurance. He invites His church away from deception and back to Himself - offering real repentance, steady hope, and the promise of shared victory. Hold fast to Jesus, and receive the Morning Star - Jesus Himself.

By Luis A Marrero - This sermon examines Jesus' message to the church in Thyatira from Revelation 2, highlighting how Christians in this ancient city struggled to remain faithful amid strong pressures from influential trade guilds and a diverse, pagan religious environment. Drawing parallels to modern traditions, the

In our midweek Bible study, we continuing working through the seven letters to the seven churches. We cover the letter to the church in Thyatira. This church was overly tolerant of evil and false teaching. There is much application for the church today to learn to cling to Christ, uphold the truth of His Word, and oppose that which is evil by proclaiming the full counsel of Scripture!

This sermon, based on Revelation 2:18–29, highlights Jesus' message to the Church at Thyatira, praising their growing faith, love, service, and endurance. However, it also delivers a strong warning against tolerating the destructive influence of a "Jezebel spirit"—marked by manipulation, control, rebellion, and unrepentant sin—which leads others into compromise and spiritual ruin. The message urges the modern church to uphold godly character, reject worldly influence, remain faithful to Christ, and protect the integrity of the Church at all costs.    

Revelation 2:12-29 ESV To the Church in Pergamum12 “And to the angel of the church in Pergamum write: ‘The words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword.13 “‘I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is. Yet you hold fast my name, and you did not deny my faith even in the days of Antipas my faithful witness, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells. 14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality. 15 So also you have some who hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth. 17 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.'To the Church in Thyatira18 “And to the angel of the church in Thyatira write: ‘The words of the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze.19 “‘I know your works, your love and faith and service and patient endurance, and that your latter works exceed the first. 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality. 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works, 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works. 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden. 25 Only hold fast what you have until I come. 26 The one who conquers and who keeps my works until the end, to him I will give authority over the nations, 27 and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father. 28 And I will give him the morning star. 29 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.' For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.

In His letter to the church in Thyatira, Jesus doesn't reprimand them for a lack of love, faith, or service—in fact, He commends them for those things. But He does confront them for what they are willing to tolerate. Why is tolerance such a big deal? As Christians, aren't there some things we should tolerate?Today, Pastor Andy teaches from Revelation 2 and challenges us to discern the difference between godly patience and dangerous tolerance. Through the example of Thyatira, we're reminded that while love is essential, truth cannot be sacrificed on the altar of tolerance.Welcome to Antioch Georgetown!

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.

In this message on Revelation 2:12-29, we're warned not to give into the subtle comprises that can destroy our faith from within. Jesus commends the churches in Pergamum and Thyatira for their faithfulness, but also confronts the danger of tolerated sin, distorted truth, and moral compromise. Jesus calls us to hold fast to Him in a world that pressures us to give into sin.

Acts 16:6-15 6 And they went through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia. 7 And when they had come up to Mysia, they attempted to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them. 8 So, passing by Mysia, they went down to Troas. 9 And a vision appeared to Paul in the night: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him and saying, “Come over to Macedonia and help us.” 10 And when Paul had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go on into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them. 11 So, setting sail from Troas, we made a direct voyage to Samothrace, and the following day to Neapolis,12 and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this city some days. 13 And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to the riverside, where we supposed there was a place of prayer, and we sat down and spoke to the women who had come together. 14 One who heard us was a woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple goods, who was a worshiper of God. The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.15 And after she was baptized, and her household as well, she urged us, saying, “If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and stay.” And she prevailed upon us.   Key Words: Holy Spirit, Allow, Call, Preach, Prayer, Open, Heart, Baptize Keystone Verse: The Lord opened her heart to pay attention to what was said by Paul.

Send us a textThe church in the city of Thyatira has good things and bad things happening in the church.  Jesus points out those who are faithful and those who really need to stop and turn the other direction.  There is a promise of deliverance for the faithful and tribulation for the rest.  

Compromising our faith is not an option in God's Kingdom.

[Galatians 5:25 NIV] Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.It is possible to ___________________ the promptings of the Spirit.[Acts 16:6-8] Next Paul and Silas traveled through the area of Phrygia and Galatia, because the Holy Spirit had prevented them from preaching the word in the province of Asia at that time. 7 Then coming to the borders of Mysia, they headed north for the province of Bithynia, but again the Spirit of Jesus did not allow them to go there. 8 So instead, they went on through Mysia to the seaport of Troas.Sometimes the Holy Spirit ___________________ our direction.[Acts 16:9-12] That night Paul had a vision: A man from Macedonia in northern Greece was standing there, pleading with him, "Come over to Macedonia and help us!" 10 So we decided to leave for Macedonia at once, having concluded that God was calling us to preach the Good News there. 11 We boarded a boat at Troas and sailed straight across to the island of Samothrace, and the next day we landed at Neapolis. 12 From there we reached Philippi, a major city of that district of Macedonia and a Roman colony. And we stayed there several days.We need to allow the Spirit to ___________________ us.[Acts 16:13-15] On the Sabbath we went a little way outside the city to a riverbank, where we thought people would be meeting for prayer, and we sat down to speak with some women who had gathered there. 14 One of them was Lydia from Thyatira, a merchant of expensive purple cloth, who worshiped God. As she listened to us, the Lord opened her heart, and she accepted what Paul was saying. 15 She was baptized along with other members of her household, and she asked us to be her guests. "If you agree that I am a true believer in the Lord," she said, "come and stay at my home." And she urged us until we agreed.We need to ________ on God's direction not just _____________ it.[Acts 16:40] When Paul and Silas left the prison, they returned to the home of Lydia. There they met with the believers and encouraged them once more. Then they left town.Sometimes the Spirit doesn't give you the whole ____________, just the next _____________.[Galatians 6:4-5] Pay careful attention to your own work, for then you will get the satisfaction of a job well done, and you won't need to compare yourself to anyone else. 5 For we are each responsible for our own conduct.We can ___________________ from others, but we are not to ___________________ ourselves to others.[John 10:27] My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.If we're not walking with God ___________________ we won't recognize His ___________________.[Proverbs 19:21] You can make many plans, but the LORD's purpose will prevail.The goal is not to follow ________ plans, but to follow His ________.[Philippians 4:6-7] Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. 7 Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.God's will and path is always accompanied by His _____________.If the situation is beyond _________ control, it's in ________ control.

Sunday Service: In Revelation 2:18-29, Jesus identifies Himself as the Son of God, affirming His divine authority and unity with the Father, and appears with eyes like flames and feet like polished bronze—symbols of His purity, penetrating judgment, and rightful authority to assess the church's deeds. He commends believers for love, faith, service, endurance, and growth—especially in patience, which enables them to receive God's promises. Yet, in Thyatira, a woman likened to Jezebel was misleading believers into sexual sin and idol-related practices, undermining God's standards and leading many astray. Jesus gives space for repentance but warns that persistent sin brings judgment, both on the deceivers and their followers, regardless of whether they were misled. To the faithful who resisted false teaching, Jesus urges them to hold fast to the truth they have received, rejecting so-called “deeper truths” that originate from Satan. Those who remain steadfast will reign with Him during His millennial kingdom. Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com
