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 9 we continue following Joshua and Israel during their early days in the Promised Land. When the surrounding kings heard of all that God was doing for Israel they planned to come together to fight against Israel. This included all of the surrounding cities except for one. The leaders of Gibeon came up with another plan.
