Pergamos: Purge the Leaven

In our sermon series from Revelation, we have seen how intimately connected Jesus is with every congregation of His people. We were first shown this in chapter one in John's vision of the glory of the Son of God in which our Lord was seen in His glory caring for His churches and their ministers. This means that we should take great interest in reading what He says to these churches that we may know what pleases Him and what displeases Him, and what punishments await us if we do not repent as well as the blessings that are ours if we are overcomers.
