Little-known Pergamum is the third of the seven churches to receive a letter from Jesus Christ in Revelation chapter 2.  In this sermon, Pastor Daniel Kriss digs deep into this letter to help us fully understand the meaning and gravity of the message to this persecuted church.  Looking firstly at the designation of Christ as the holder of the double-edged sword, moving to the commendations Christ had for Pergamum, the areas of compromise they were slipping into, the command of Christ to repentance from their worldliness, and finally the promises to those conquerors who overcome, this sermon brings to light the crucial choice that Pergamum faced that is the same in today’s church – will we live in holiness and purity in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, or will we take the easier road of compromise?
