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.
Today we begin the Advent Season. This is a time of preparing our hearts for the celebration of Jesus’ coming at Christmas. It is a time to step back from the rush, the noise, the stress, and refocus our lives on the Christ child in the manger.
