Sunday, August 25, 2019. 7 Letters (Part 6). Romans 5:-15 & Revelation 3:7-13. Pastor Bryant Anderson preaching. The church at Philadelphia is remaining faithful, even amid great hardship, so they are given a hopeful promise. The church, then and now, must take care not to imagine that our hope entails the destruction of our enemies, but rather, that it is nothing less than the coming of God's kingdom.
