Pastor Mark Fuller
Philadelphia: The Spirit of Fear
Revelation 3:7-13
This is the only letter of the seven that Jesus offers no criticism of the church. He only has encouragement and commendation for the church in Philadelphia. They have learned to face the spirit of fear and overcome.
Challenges the church in Philadelphia faced:
- Destruction from earthquakes
- Rejection from Jewish believers
- Persecution from Rome
Every day you make choices that set the course of your life. You can either be paralyzed by fear (see it as an obstacle) or allow that fear to propel you forward through God’s open door (see it as an opportunity).
