Wednesday, September 11: In this episode of The Daily Grind, we examine Jesus’ message to the church in Pergamum from Revelation 2:12-17.

We’ll explore how this message applies to us today and how we can stand firm in our faith, even when the world around us is pressuring us to conform. What can we learn from the Christians in Pergamum? Join us as we uncover practical ways to live out our faith in a culture of compromise.
