Pergamum: Some Have Compromised

May 11, 2025    Dr. Ben Day, Senior Pastor

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

1. Why does Jesus describe himself as the one who has the sharp two-edged sword? Why do we often think of God’s judgment first coming to the outside world? Why is it important to remember that judgment begins at the household o God?


2. How does opposition to Christianity look different in our culture than it did in Pergamum? Are there any similarities?


3. In what areas do you think we as Christians are most likely to compromise today? What can we do to prevent compromise in our lives and in our churches?


4. Jesus points out the error of some to the whole church. What should we take away from this? How can we restore those who are caught in sin with a spirit of gentleness (Gal. 6:1)?
