In this video, Pastor Steven Pratt explores the significant church era from 300-500 AD, known as the "Compromised Era" or the "Constantinian Era." Rooted in the message to the church of Pergamos from Revelation 2:12-17, this era reveals how political power and societal pressures began shaping the church in ways that still impact us today.

Pastor Steven provides insights into key events such as:

- The Edict of Milan (AD 313): How it shifted the church from persecution to political favor under Emperor Constantine.
- The Council of Nicaea (AD 325): The defense of Christ's divinity against Arianism and its implications for church doctrine.
- The Early Split in Christianity: The rise of the Roman Catholic branch vs. those committed to pure, biblical doctrine.
- Warnings Against Compromise: How the church's union with the state reflected Jesus' rebuke of Pergamos and what we can learn today about avoiding spiritual compromise.

Join us as we dive into this crucial period in church history, reflecting on the enduring lessons of faithfulness, doctrinal integrity, and the consequences of aligning with worldly power.
