Gentlemen,
Please review the following questions to prepare you for next Monday night’s discussion on Revelation 2:12-17. Download and print the handout, Message to Pergamum, and bring this with you for note-taking.
- What does the word Pergamum mean?
- What is communicated by the character trait of Jesus noted in 2:12? (cf., 1:16)
- What specific things does Jesus know [οἶδα] about the Christians in Pergamum?
- What problem areas does Jesus identify?
- Define the “teaching of Balaam.” Who were Balaam and Balak in the O.T.? (Hint: Use the Blue Letter Bible to aid your research)
- Re-define the “teaching of the Nicolaitans.” (cf., 2:6)
- What remedy does Jesus provide?
- What warning does Jesus give?
- Identify three gifts Jesus promises to grant to the “overcomers.” Define these terms.
Rick P. will provide the dessert, so plan to show up by 7 pm to start enjoying that … besides the best parking spots are available then, too! Our discussion will start soon after that. Remember to bring …
- … your Bible
- … a notebook or journal
- … something to write with
- … ears ready to hear
- … eyes longing to see
- … an open mind eager to learn
- … a softened heart ready to receive God’s truth
- … and a yielded will ready to heed His instruction!
Shalom!
