revelation 3:1-6

Revelation 3:1-6 is the text for this sermon entitled, "A Church with a False Reputation: Sardis."

Jesus' letter to the church at Sardis teaches us that we need to be self-aware as a church. We must stand ready to hold on and persevere, knowing that God wants us to be alive and not dead spiritually. 

Curtis goes over the history of the city of Sardis and summarizes the characteristics of the church that met in that city. The members of the church thought they were a thriving, alive congregation--but they were wrong. God saw things differently. Revelation calls on Sardis to wake up, to remember, to repent, and to be prepared for Jesus' return. The good news was that Sardis DID have some faithful people whose names are in the book of life and who wear robes of white. We today need to evaluate ourselves.

A good reputation with man does not necessarily mean good standings with God?  In this episode Pastor Melvin explains that often the flattery of what others think about us can lead us into a spirit of complacency, cockiness, and carelessness, in our relationship with God.  He challenges us to rekindled our excitement for the Lord while vividly sharing why we cannot rely our reputation when it pleases man and not God.  It's time to wake up!  Revelation 3:1.  So Take a Moment to Take a Listen and Be Blessed!
