THE CHURCHES of Asia we discuss this week had serious problems. Jesus had nothing good to say about one of them, and the other had apparently followed a so-called prophetess into satanic sexual immorality.

Dr. Mike Spaulding, author of Letters from Jesus, discusses our Lord’s messages to the churches of Thyatira and Sardis, and explains why the church of Sardis, despite having a reputation for doing good, was called “dead” by Jesus.
