Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

7 kids come forward.

Day of my vacation.

What is my name?

Hitchcock sister.

If you go from church to church, you'll go through two very different kinds of Thor's very different, kinds of environments, worship Style, music, theological doctrine of considerations, and programs that most significantly and Saturday, they will differ and how they deal with sin.

Do Jesus is clearly called his church to be wholly, pure and intolerant of sin, even though the Lord says that if you know anyone in, send go to your brother and tell him about his sin and ask him to repent.

Even though we are to be that directed the church still churches throughout history have defied, God help the church and Paul Reading Cinemas town a ways.

It is.

In fact typical I suppose of churches.

By that, I mean, the majority of churches are tolerant of seven to one degree or another.

This is the Church of the attire at.

And so the message to this church is a very relevant message to any church with tolerates, any kind of sin.

You made it especially difficult to be in that church.

If you were devoted the holiest because it was the only church in town.

As was the case in the church.

There was only one church for Sunday and you went there because that was the only one if you were a serious Christian and you were pursuing Holiness and you believe the church should be assured.

You are, you were sort of stuck.

If you live in a few Tyra.

Now, this kind of church is still coming today because most churches tolerate sin to some degree to do.

So however is to be in direct Disobedience to the lord of the church.

In the case of the Church of the entire.

They were tolerated any woman who would usurp, the place of leadership in teaching plus call herself a prophetess.

They were hollering evils of idolatry.

They were tolerated sexual soon.

Not only were they tolerate even But there were certain people in the church who are advocating it and that's the church would become significantly corrupted.

And as I told you last time it wasn't long until it went out of existence.

The seriousness of the seriousness of their involvement with sin can be seen as bursts 24, where you see the phrase, the Deep things of soup.

They have managed to plunge themselves, very deeply in the satanic things.

In this letter to the church suits, many churches throughout history.

Even today.

It is a permanent word to Church's to compromise with Sim.

Don't let me briefly review.

What we looked at last time.

First of all, the introduction gives us the one who writes to the angel for the messenger, the one who had been sent by the church, to John the Apostle to get this letter and take it back rub Elations 218 and to the angels of the church in theater, right?

The Son of God who has eyes like a flame of fire and feet.

Like burnished bronze says this It comes from the Lord, and this is a picture of judgment.

He has seen in his judgment character, his eyes like a flame of fire or like Supernatural to buying lays the penetrating, into the death of the church and see the Fatal flaws.

Nothing is given to the lasers of his vision and his feet like burnished bronze, or the feet, the trampled out judgement.

Secondly, we noted last time the signal via Tyra halfway between pergamum and Sardis.

It had been rolling since 190 b.

C over three hundred years ago, for many centuries.

It was only an unprotected military.

Outposts.

Stop the ongoing armies.

There were coming.

Then we're coming out to forgive them and fought them off for a little while, so they could get ready to fight.

And so it got destroyed and rebuilt over and over again, then eventually when the Romans took over it had a.

Of peace and under that.

Of Peace became a commercial center.

It became a city with more guilds Craftsman than any other city in Asia Minor.

It became a center for wool and a center for developing beautiful purple.

Dye.

Guilt involved in the city, had a lot of its own and they would not only do their crap, but they would worship their deity, that would include feasts and festivals.

And that would include certain sacrifices that were offered at whatever Temple serve to worship His God.

And it also included certain sexual words used and so the guilds were not simply labor union.

Trade, religious organizations.

Well, with many deities sort of fitting into all the various kinds of trades for their newest non-warriors City, who was the smallest of the Southern cities that the letters, here are written.

And thirdly with taking a, look at the church, and the church was not from the outside, so much my persecution, but from the inside by compromise, the disaster, this church was not some Onslaught from false teachers on the outside, but an onslaught false Doctrine on the inside.

If you want it, your job you stayed with the guild and they would have a pretty strong hold over you.

And you'll be forced to engage yourself and all the functions of the guilt which meant the Feast of the Fast Pace in the ceremonies, or maybe even the sexual sin.

And if you didn't do that, it would be reasonable to assume you might lose your job.

And so, there was some pressure for the phone, these Christians, in this regard, Satan wanting to see to it that the compromise was made at a woman when the church was identified here by the name, Jezebel this woman found platform of the church and thought everybody.

Good to commit, sexual sin and get involved in.

Idle worship was okay.

And so the church actually have an internal spokesman advocating.

Which took the monkey off of everybody's back and let them be free.

That you bought to engage in the guild idolatry and immorality while at the same time, calling themselves Christians and attending the church.

So this is our church was really struggling for survival because of the corruption on the inside.

And lastly, in our review.

We looked at the Commendation in verse 19.

He says, I know your deeds and your love and faith and service and perseverance and that your Deeds of late are greater than it first.

He identifies, those four things.

I know your love that is few demonstrate sacrifice to one another out of love.

I know your faithfulness.

You have not abandoned Christ.

I know your service, you're involved in activity in your meeting needs.

You're doing Ministry and I know your perseverance or your endurance, you hung in there, you've been faked when there has been some hostility, and some persecution.

This is all very commendable.

And then at the end of Hearst 19e says, and your Deeds of late, Greater than the 1st.

So you're doing fees to demonstrate your love and faithfulness in your service and your perseverance.

The church may have had in the community.

A very good reputation after all of the Power.

Aided people attending the beasts and orgies and festivities of the guilds.

It certainly wasn't calling for any division between the church in the world.

If they were busy meeting needs and doing Deeds of sacrificial, love, and injuring hostility.

They must have had a reputation as a somewhat Noble bunch.

What is absent is the combination is sound Doctrine, an old man living.

Now that brings us to the point as we dissect our way through this letter and that its condemnation in verse 20, but I have this against you, that you tolerate, the women Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess and she teaches and leaves.

My bond service is straight so that they can commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to Idols.

This was a church names of the name of Jesus Christ.

This was a church that claimed to be identified with him.

This was a church that claim to be sharing his love and being faithful to his gospel.

A church endeavoring to serve him in a drawer for his sake and the whoever comes and says, I have to tell you to come against your church.

And here's why you have this woman Jezebel in you, Paula reiter Universe.

20 says that she led the bond Servants of Christ, commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to Idols.

She was very effective and you'll notice that phrase and give 20 leads my bondservants astray.

In fact, in 1st Corinthians, 6:15 through 20.

The Apostle Paul says the Christians.

Do not know that your bodies of parts of Christ.

Shall I, then take away the parts of Christ and make them parts of a prostitute far from it, or do you not know that one who joins himself to a prom?
