Message
Not Confusing Today’s Tolerance with God’s Patience by Pastor Denis Frediani
Scripture Passage: Revelation 2:18-29
“To the angel of the church in Thyatira write:
These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets, ‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations— that one ‘will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery’—just as I have received authority from my Father. I will also give that one the morning star. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

In our prayers
- We are thankful Lord that You are still in control in the midst of this pandemic and that You have promised to never leave or forsake us (Heb 13:5).
- For the Covid19 Pandemic and for the recovery of those infected we pray they will cry out to the Lord and receive His help. For the scientific community in their quest to understand and fight this virus.
- For frontline workers like medical personal and first-responders, for strength, protection & health. We are so thankful for their sacrifice & we ask for their health and safety. Help them as they see patients lose the battle with Covid19.
- For national, state and local leaders that they would have wisdom to lead and be able to contain the spread of this pandemic.
- For our most vulnerable, those with health challenges we pray for protection, as well as for the poor and homeless, those in shelters and those in poor nations, for their provision and care. For those experiencing financial hardship with the closures of so many businesses.
- For single parent homes with limited income already and now confined to homes. For those who are feeling anxious, isolated, and afraid – may they find assurance and provision in You Lord.
- For Christians both here and around the world, that we may continue to serve and minister to our neighbors in the name of Jesus.
Romans 8:15 For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption and by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father’.
Psalm 27:1-3 The LORD is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life – of whom shall I be afraid? Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear; though war break out against me, even then will I be confident.
Psalm 103:13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him.
