Pastor Caleb McMains · Nov 27, 2023
Drawing from Jesus' letter to the church of Pergamum in Revelation 2, Pastor Caleb warns that spiritual compromise rarely arrives as a sudden collapse — it creeps in gradually through tolerated false teaching, small justifications, and incremental drift from Christ. Just as the Deepwater Horizon disaster resulted from a long chain of neglected safety measures, and just as Alcoa's safety culture was built one steady step at a time, our faithfulness or our defeat is forged in the slow, daily choices we make. The call of Jesus to Pergamum — and to us — is to repent, return to His Word, and lean into authentic community so that nothing erodes our witness.
Pastor Bill Bush · Mar 18, 2018
Drawing from Revelation 13, this sermon traces Satan's strategy of using a counterfeit trinity — the Antichrist, the Dragon, and the False Prophet — to offer genuine-looking goods (peace, prosperity, order) that ultimately enslave and destroy. The deeper warning is that this tactic is not limited to the end times; it mirrors the lie in the Garden of Eden and operates in everyday life. When people — even churchgoers — make 'good' their primary goal rather than a relationship with God, they fall into the same deception, because God does not merely do good; He defines and is good.
