Hi, I'm James McDonald and we're hearing great reports from people who are digging into this series on Revelation if you're just catching up with us.

The previous messages are online, but we're in chapter 2 this weekend and the subject is sexual sin.

And let me just give a warning here. This is not for you to weaponize and use against others.

So often as believers were tempted to live a life of judgment instead of a life of righteousness before God.

This is about Jesus' heart, the actual title of the message, is Jesus confronts sexual sin.

We're still in Revelation chapter 2. It's so interesting that this subject comes up, but there's

a broader biblical teaching that's headed your way. And if you can share this message with someone

to help them, that's great. But like down with the spirit of judgment, up with the spirit of grace,

we're going to see what the word of God teaches without apology, and we need to get our lives to align with this.

But don't weaponize this against others, please.

All right, let's get into God's word, open to Revelation chapter 2.

Thanks for tuning in and thanks for standing with us.

Why don't you take your Bible, please, and open it if you would, to Revelation chapter

2.

We continue in our study through the seven letters, which begin the book of Revelation,

chapters 1 through 5, learning to hope in the King of Glory.

There comes a time in every conversation when the noise needs to stop.

There comes a time in every conversation when the arguments need to be over, when the person

who really knows needs to step up and prove the point, paint the picture,

pronounce the verdict, settle the issue, end the discussion.

Just time for the talk to be over.

The one who really knows needs to speak.
