Start talking:
• What is something you've become less tolerant of as you've gotten older? (Keep it light!)
• Have you ever had to make a difficult choice because following Jesus conflicted with what everyone else was doing?
• When you hear the word “tolerance,” what comes to mind?
Start Thinking:
• Jesus praised the church in Thyatira for its love, faith, service, and perseverance, but confronted them for tolerating false teaching. Why do you think it can be easier to overlook compromise than to confront it?
• Pastor Troy asked two questions, which challenged you the most? Why?
• Read Revelation 2:18-29. What stands out to you about Jesus’ character in this letter? What surprises you?
Start Sharing:
• Are there areas in your own life where you’ve slowly become comfortable with attitudes, habits, or compromises that Jesus may be calling you to address?
• Jesus gave “Jezebel” time to repent before judgment. What does that teach us about God’s patience toward us and toward people we’re praying for?
• Pastor Troy emphasized that love and truth must go together. Why is it difficult to hold firmly to biblical truth while also demonstrating genuine love and grace?
• What are some practical ways we “hold on” to Christ in everyday life?
• Which of the “means of grace” (Scripture, prayer, worship, Communion, gathering with believers) has helped you stay close to Jesus? Which one do you need to strengthen?
Start Praying:
• Ask God to reveal any area of compromise that you’ve begun to tolerate.
• Pray for courage to lovingly speak truth when necessary while reflecting Christ’s grace.
• Thank Jesus for His patience and ask Him to help you remain faithful as you hold tightly to Him.
Start Doing:
• This week, intentionally reflect on the two questions Jesus asks through His letter to Thyatira: What am I tolerating? What am I holding onto?
• Each day, spend time in prayer asking the Holy Spirit to reveal any area where you’ve grown comfortable with compromise. If He brings something to mind, don’t ignore it—confess it, repent, and receive His grace.
• Intentionally hold onto Christ by practicing one of the means of grace every day this week. Let your focus shift from merely avoiding compromise to actively abiding in Christ.
