In today’s message, we’ll find stern words from the Lord about this church, and by implication, our own churches.

Pergamum was a city in ancient Asia Minor in an area now known as Turkey. Today, its giant pagan altar is on display in the Pergamum Museum in Berlin. In Revelation 2, Jesus said that Pergamum was the place “where Satan dwells,” and a place rife with false teaching. Let’s listen to what the Lord Himself says about that church, and what lessons we can take home for our own churches.

Izmir is a city in present-day Turkey. But 2,000 years ago, that city was called Smyrna. It was one of the seven churches Jesus spoke of in the book of Revelation.

Just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two people are alike. We’re all different, and that diversity adds a richness to life. But it also adds a set of problems. When two people don’t get along, even two Christians, what do you do? Today we’ll discuss a solution for those difficult people in life.

From the outside looking in, the Christian church is very divided. Besides Catholic and Orthodox churches, there are more denominations of Protestants emerging every day, leading one to wonder: who has the correct doctrine?

When Christians stand for truth in a pluralistic culture, conflict is inevitable. Increasingly, that conflict is with our own government. Today, Dr. Erwin Lutzer begins a series on "Christians in Conflict," and how we should live in view of these ever-growing conflicts.

Why is it that so many kids who go to church, Sunday schools, camps, Christian schools, and pray the “right prayers” still walk away from their faith?
