Jesus commends the church in Pergamum for keeping their eyes on him in a evil city that actively persecutes Christians. However, they’ve let a little too much of the world into their beliefs, actions, and daily lives and Jesus is calling for them to change. Thankfully, he gives them exactly what they need for that type of transformation: Himself!

Part 7: Laodicea
June 19, 2022 • Pastor Rob Mayer • Revelation 3:14–22
Using imagery and illustration, Jesus confronts an affluent culture right between the eyes. Jesus here, is showing the self-reliant, great love and unmatched grace – this is really good news! – he’s wanting to set them free. He’s exposing their sin of self-trust that is deceiving them, so that they can enjoy something so much better. This whole section is grace – it’s a grace-filled, loving rebuke from Jesus to people whom he loves and lived, died, and rose again for – so that they could enjoy life abundantly – which is a life of need and dependence not self-reliance and independence.
