Jesus or Jezebel?Revelation 2.18-28

Synopsis: Commending the church at Thyatira for their incredible work, Jesus also warns about the sin of Jezebel and their toleration of her sin. Ultimately she is being unfaithful to God, and so are those who follow her teachings. We must be very careful not only of sin, but of tolerating sin.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
