What And Where Is Thyatira?

Let us begin to muse on our fourth church to be addressed by Christ and that is the church of Thyatira. These letters are written to individual churches but they are written in a fashion of an open letter that all may read. This is when each church and age can be of a help to another church age. One of the great lessons we do not learn from other’s mistakes is that we don’t learn from other’s mistakes. Thyatira is clustered together with the other six churches in Asia, a part of the Roman Empire. It was a manufacturing town. They were best known for making purple cloth. Lydia, a seller of purple, whom Paul met at Philippi was from Thyatira. How our Lord loves to establish His church among the common people of this world, Just good old working folks.
