The Church of Sardis


Listen Later

Over the past few weeks, we have moved from the Compromising Church (Pergamum) to the Tolerant Church (Thyatira), and today, we will look at the Dead Church (Sardis).

I have shared that my study for this sermon series has been discouraging. As I read this great Book, it is easy to see the modern church described in each of the letters to the seven churches. I firmly believe that churches that compromise to sin and become tolerant to sin in the church end up like the Church of Sardis…dead!

May we not be satisfied with the status quo. We have been given the ability to live out and share the Truth of the Gospel. My friend, the status quo is temporal; the Gospel of Christ is eternal!

Our message is titled: “The Church of Sardis”

Our points will be:

  1. Jesus Knows the Truth
  2. Jesus Calls Us to Repentance
  3. Jesus Recognizes His Bride
  4. Main Scripture: Revelation 3:1-6

    Supporting Texts: Isaiah 11:2, Ephesians 5:13-14, Isaiah 41:10,1 John 5:3-4, Luke 15:17-18, Hebrews 10:29-30,Matthew 7:13-14, Revelation 20:6, Matthew 10:32-33

    • Can anything be hidden from God? Explain.
    • Why do we think that we can hide things from God?
    • Why is repentance important?
    • What does repentance show to those around us?
    • Can we repent more than once? Explain.
    • Will Christ recognize you as His bride? If so, how?
