This is the first in a 3 talk series on the churches in Revelation. This talk looks at the the church in Thyatira and how their tolerance was getting them into all sorts of trouble.

Jesus isn’t dead, he’s alive! And there’s no better day than Easter Sunday to remember that God is inviting us to experience the resurrection of Jesus. An invitation that gives real power and hope to those who believe.
Why is Jesus in such agony leading up to his death? Didn’t he know this was going to happen? It’s because Jesus is facing something that no-one else has handled before, God’s wrath so that we don’t have to.
There’s a new covenant, this one brought in by the blood of Jesus. And it means there’s no need to hide, everything that we’d normally hide has been washed away.
Jesus isn’t just another religious guy you can dismiss…he’s the guy who determines where you stand with God. How you respond to him is how you respond to God.
We’re back into Mark, picking up where we left off in 2013. Jesus is in Jerusalem, in conflict with the religious leaders…pushing them to come to God honestly, repentently…to unmask themselves & give up their hypocrisy.
When we grasp God’s grace – the rich God who became poor so the poor could become rich – we start to see what we have not as a means of self-fulfilment, but as a means of being involved in what God’s doing in the world.
