Pastor Jesse Lockhart preaches from Revelation 2:12–17, addressing the letter to the church in Pergamos. He explains how Pergamos was a city steeped in idolatry and compromise, yet Jesus commended believers who held fast to His name. Lockhart warns the modern church against blending with the world’s systems, likening today’s moral and spiritual compromises to Pergamos’ acceptance of false teaching.
He emphasizes that standing for Christ in a corrupt culture requires courage, faithfulness, and a refusal to tolerate sin within the church. Using the example of Antipas, a faithful martyr, he calls believers to boldness even when it costs them. The message underscores that Jesus’ Word is the sharp two-edged sword—both defending the faithful and judging compromise.
Lockhart closes with a call to repentance, urging listeners to keep their doctrine pure, their hearts steadfast, and their witness unshaken in the face of societal pressure. He reminds the church that overcoming believers will receive God’s hidden manna and a white stone with a new name—eternal rewards for faithfulness.
