This sermon was preached by Jared Osborne on July 24, 2023 and is the third sermon in YALA's series 7 Letters to the Young Adult.
Pressure has a way of breaking down the strongest things in rapid time. As a matter of fact, that's exactly what a pressure cooker is designed to do. What we find out in our spiritual lives is that there is enormous pressure surrounding us. The pressure tries to break down the standard of righteousness and holiness in our pursuit of Jesus.
This pressure is nothing new, in fact it's significantly less for us than for the early church. Pergamum was no different. But we all face the same two choices: stand strong or give in. Jesus was serious about it to them, and he's serious about it to us.
Listen in. We hope this blesses you.
