TEACHING SERIES: This Little Light of Mine
SERMON TITLE: Setting On The Fence
BY: Tim Chilvers
DATE: Sunday 18th June 2023
‘BIBLE PASSAGES: Revelation | Chapter 2 | Verses 12-17
EXCERPT:
Have you ever tried to sit on a fence? It can get uncomfortable pretty quickly! The word ‘compromise’ comes from the idea of making a mutual promise and commitment – two different views, coming together. There are so many times when such a thing is necessary and good. And yet, sometimes, compromise means settling for things that aren’t good, like trying to sit on a fence. For these ancient followers of Jesus, it seems that they were compromising in a really unhealthy way. They were trying to live in two camps – following Jesus, whilst tolerating evil at the same time. And John reminds them that sitting on the fence is neither comfortable, or a good thing in the long-run.
