Revelation 2:1-17
Pastor Rick Beaudry guides us through Revelation 2:1-17, mapping the seven churches as a portrait of the church age and calling us to remember, repent, and repeat. He explains the letters to Ephesus, Smyrna and Pergamum: Ephesus praised for works but warned for leaving its first love; Smyrna facing poverty, tribulation and martyrdom with Polycarp as an example; Pergamum marked by idolatry, compromise and the marriage of church and state. Framing the passage with a premillennial, dispensational overview of rapture, tribulation and the millennium, he presses practical application: test doctrines, reject idols, prioritize love for Jesus and remain faithful even unto death. Beaudry closes with encouragement for overcomers, pointing to promises like the tree of life, hidden manna, a white stone of acquittal and a new name.
