Throughout this sermon series we are looking parts of God’s Word that involve the church, and what it looks like for us to be the church that God created us to be. Today, we’re looking at a message in Revelation that Jesus has for the church in Sardis. His message to this church helps us to realize the dangers of looking like we are spiritually thriving, while dying on the inside.
We need to realize that falling away from Christ poses a serious threat to the Christian and the church
