Thyatira was the smallest of the seven cities of Revelation. It didn’t have great strategic significance. It wasn’t an economic center. It spent most of its history playing second fiddle to the more dominant powers. Likewise, the church in Thyatira didn’t have the great history of Ephesus, or the great wealth of Laodicea. But she was the little church that could. She did the little well, and she grew in those things.
