The Seven Churches | Pergamos: Where Satan Sits | Revelation 2:12-17 | Matthew Maher

In this message, Pastor Matthew Maher continues the Seven Churches of Revelation with the letter to Pergamos—the Compromised Church (Revelation 2:12–17). Once the capital of Asia Minor and the seat of emperor worship, Pergamos was filled with idols, temples, and the serpent symbol of Asclepius, the so-called “god of healing.” Yet even in the shadow of Satan’s throne, Christ’s light through His people could not be extinguished (John 1:5; Philippians 2:15). Discover what it means when Jesus wields the sharp two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12; Revelation 19:15), why the Church was called to repent (Revelation 2:16), and how compromise through pleasure and control still corrupts believers today (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 6:14–17). “When Satan can’t crush the Church from the outside, He corrupts it from the inside.” Be sure to subscribe to the Landmark Church YouTube Channel and wherever you access podcasts to stay updated on all upcoming sermons.
