So far in this series, we’ve looked at the unexpected messages to four churches in modern-day Turkey.
- It’s better to have no church than an unloving church.
- It’s better to let a church suffer than to prevent it.
- It’s possible for a church to stand up for Jesus while standing against Jesus.
- It’s possible for a church to wrongly value staying together over staying faithful.
Rick and Svea discuss how gospel fluency (and define what it is) helps to understand what was going on in Thyatira.
