Our next series of Interactive Sabbath Bible Studies in the Twin Cities will
focus on Christ's letters to His seven Churches in the first two chapters
of the book of Revelation.
We will continue our series on Christ's letters to His seven Churches,
with this discussion focusing on the spiritual condition of the church at Pergamos (Rev 2:12-17).
The questions we will be discussing are:
1. What does Christ's description of Himself reveal about Him and Pergamos?
Psa 101, Eph 5:8-14, Mat 10:34-36, Heb 4:12, 5:12-14
2. What does it mean to hold fast to Christ's name?
Psa 33:21, Eze 20:39, Act 15:26
3. Where is Satan's throne?
Joh 14:30, 2Co 4:4, Eph 2:2, 6:12
4. Why is Pergamos corrected for having those of the doctrines of Balaam and the Nicolaitans among them?
Rom 16:17-18, 2Co 6:14, 11:4, Gal 1:6-9, 2Jo 1:10-11, Rev 2:6
After the Bible study.
Bring something to share.
