We can learn from our brother Paul that when we seek prayer from others and when we pray for ourselves, our requests must be centered on God's will. Let's focus our thoughts and prayers on the finish line and not on the temporal problems that may be in front of us today.

Jesus told believers in Sardis that if they did not wake up He would come to them -like a thief-. This statement is often applied to a secret rapture, but the whole of Scripture reveals far more about Jesus's proclamation than is often taught or considered.

The idea of being in unceasing prayer may seem difficult or even impossible. But as usual, when we unpack a statement in Scripture we find it to be much more practical than it may appear on the surface.

In Jesus's letter to the church in Sardis, He warned them that though they appeared alive they were in fact dead. Today we examine this statement and learn how to avoid living a false faith and instead continue in our love of Christ and others.

Looking at the armor of God, we see how each piece is specific to our calling as Christ's soldiers for the gospel. God gives us both protective armor against attack and a power offensive weapon.

Today we finish our look at Jesus's letter to the church in Thyatira and explore His mysterious promise to give the Morning Star to those who overcome the world and keep His deeds until the end.

Each of us a soldier in the battle of good vs. evil. God has given us all that we need to be victorious, but it is upon us to take up our armor daily and stand firm in the faith.
