Message: “When Holiness and Tolerance Collide” from Tim Melton

A message from the series "COVID-19." In this sermon, Pastor Tim continues the series through the seven churches of Revelation. The church in Thyatira had many good traits but there was one thing that Christ held against them. There was grave sin in their midst and they tolerated it. It is difficult enough when the church is challenged by the world around it, but now the danger had come inside the church. What is a church to do when holiness and tolerance collide? Those who repented would be given grace, those who did not would receive judgment. It was a choice between holiness and sin. Those who were in Christ would overcome.

To our Prince of Peace: “¡Viva el Rey” (Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 5:1-5a)

To our Prince of Peace: “¡Viva el Rey” (Isaiah 2:1-5, Micah 5:1-5a)

Doomsayers abound today, with predictions of nuclear war, devastation, and socio-economic collapse. The ongoing bellicose confrontations and political conflicts around our world make us long for the true Prince of Peace. But considering all the brokenness that war brings and the enduring lack of peace in our world, how can Christians claim that the baby of Bethlehem, so celebrated on this day, is really the “Prince of Peace”? Especially with all the wars that have been fought in His name by people claiming to be under His rule?! Yet at Jesus’ birth, the angel chorus declared, “Peace on earth among those whom God has favored!” That message, announced for all humankind, is as necessary today as at any time in history; and all those who put their faith in Jesus find Him to be the true Savior, the King who came and proclaimed His covenant of peace, setting up His “sanctuary” among His people (Ezek. 37:26-28), and lifting His “banner” over us as love (Song of Sol. 2:4). Christmas is about the good news of this revolutionary new kingdom of true peace in Jesus Christ!
