Willing to Die for Christ (Revelation 2:12–17) - Christ among the Lampstands: How God Evaluates Churches

Despite flaws, the church at Pergamum received Christ’s gracious commendation for their faithfulness, their faithfulness in a hostile environment, their tenacious testimony, and their enduring evangelism. Christ’s letter to this church teaches us some important lessons. Though flawed and fragile, believers possess the Spirit of God. By his power, we can make a tangible difference for God's kingdom, inspiring others through faithfulness in trials, suffering, and everyday life.
