In this message, we are reminded that God has a plan — for creation, for salvation, and for the stewardship of His work.

The Bible teaches that God owns all things and that His people are called to live faithfully as stewards, not owners. Stewardship flows from obedience and trust, never pressure.

Above all, this message emphasizes that knowing Jesus Christ as Savior is the most important decision of all.

Pergamos and Thyatira—two churches warned by Jesus for compromise and corruption.

Pergamos was a church living “where Satan’s seat is,” holding fast to Christ’s name, yet allowing false doctrine and moral compromise to remain. Thyatira reveals an even deeper danger: tolerated false teaching, spiritual seduction, and the mixing of truth with error. In both cases, Jesus speaks with clarity, authority, and urgency—calling His people to repentance, discernment, and faithfulness.

These are Jesus’ last recorded words to His churches—practical, personal, and prophetic words that still speak directly to believers and churches today.

Scripture: Revelation 2:12–29

Revelation chapters 2 and 3 contain Jesus’ personal words to His churches. In this message, Pastor Bill Monroe focuses on Ephesus, the church that left its first love, and Smyrna, the persecuted church that remained faithful.

Christ’s words are timeless, challenging every believer to examine love, faithfulness, and devotion.
