Pergamum: The Compromised Church

Under Pressure

How often do we examine the roots of our values? Why do we really care about the things we care about? How did we decide what our vision for the Good Life is? Christians in Pergamum had the same problem we do – they assumed the values of their culture were compatible with Jesus’ vision for their lives. Jesus warns them – and us – that’s not the case. How can we know what Jesus wants for us?

From Series: "Under Pressure"

Figuring out how to be faithful in our daily lives is challenging for anyone - especially because there are so many ways to answer those questions. How do we know what real, holy faithfulness looks like? Jesus makes himself known to the seven churches of the Revelation. His answers for them can guide us as well.

Great Science Fiction offers visions of a utopian future where humans have achieved peace and prosperity through progress. But Jesus’ resurrection challenges the assumption that humans can save ourselves. In this series, we’ll examine some of the most famous sci-fi visions of the future against the image of the Church we find in 1 Peter and see how the Spirit at work in us is the true hope of the world.

Jesus’ resurrection changed everything. Welcome to the future.
