When Tolerance Becomes a Trap | Revelation 2:18-29

In a world that preaches “tolerance above all,” Jesus calls His church to something deeper — holy tolerance: a love that welcomes everyone but refuses to compromise truth.

This week, Pastor Steven Bruce continues our series The 7 Churches of Revelation with a powerful message from Revelation 2:18–29, where Jesus addresses the church in Thyatira — a loving, growing church that had begun to tolerate sin.

They weren’t failing in love, they were failing in discernment. And the same danger exists today.

Through this teaching, discover:
• Why misplaced tolerance leads to compromise
• How to love without losing conviction
• The difference between holy tolerance and undiscerning acceptance
• Why Jesus is both intolerant of sin and indiscriminate in love

💬 Reflection Questions:
• Has your tolerance become your trap?
• What are you allowing to stay in your life because it’s comfortable?
• What voices are shaping your beliefs more than the voice of Jesus?
