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.
In Joshua 7 we find the next story of Israel´s conquest of the Promised Land. Because of God´s help, they had miraculously crossed over the Jordan River at flood stage and entered the Promised Land. With God´s help they had defeated and destroyed the great walled city of Jericho. They now turned their attention to the small city of Ai.
