Passage: Revelation 2:12-17 Preacher: Derrick McCarson Series: Revelation: Return of the King Category: Prophecy , End-Times, Revelation Pergamum is known in the list of the seven churches of Revelation as, “The Compromising Church.” Interestingly, the name “Pergamum” actually means “a mixed marriage.” The chief sin of the church is bound up in its name, as the believers became married to the world.
