We will continue our series on Christ's letters to His seven Churches with this discussion focusing on the spiritual condition of the church at Thyatira (Rev 2:18 - 29).
The questions we will be discussing are:
1) What does Christ's description of Himself reveal about Him and Thyatira?
1Ch 28:9, Zec 4:10, Mal 3:1-3, Heb 4:13
2) What does His reference to Jezebel tell us about Thyatira's big problem?
1Ki 11:1-13, 16:31, 18:4, 21:1-16
3) How does compromise lead to corruption?
Deu 4:2, 12:32, Jos 1:7, 1Co 5:1-8, 15:33, 2Ti 2:17
4) What does it mean to be given the morning star?
2Pe 1:9, Rev 22:16
