A Faithful Church
When considering the seven churches in Revelation, everyone wants to be the church in Philadelphia. It's one of only two that there is no fault mentioned. The other church similarly praised is Smyrna, but they are called to suffering (Revelation 2:10), while Philadelphia will be kept from "the hour of trial" (3:10). We'd really rather be Philadelphia. But what does it mean to be like this church? What will that take? This Sunday we will see what God says about a Philadelphian level of faithfulness.
