We look at the fifth of Jesus’ 7 letters to the churches, the letter to the church in Sardis. This church looks great. They have a reputation for being alive and yet Jesus’ damning indictment is they are in fact dead. The call to any who will hear is to wake up. The troubling thing when you’re asleep is that you often don’t realise it. This church may have had ‘good’ meetings, read the bible, prayed, served, looked to all intents & purposes like it was doing ok and yet they were in grave danger. This message is a call to examine ourselves, to repent, to seek God & strengthen ourselves in Him. For we are promised; if we conquer He will never blot our names out of the book of life. Amen.
