The church in Philadelphia was a small but faithful church that stood firm in the face of pressure, persecution, and adversity. Jesus commends them for their faith and keeping His Word. It's an example to us to be a church that loves the lost, loves the Word, and lives as unshakable pillars for the Kingdom of God.

The church at Philadelphia didn't look like much financially, numerically, or physically, but they were viewed highest regard by Jesus for one reason - They were faithful to Him. Listen to this week's letter to the seven churches as Jesus reminds us of the necessity and value of faithfulness.

Of course, we must be faithful as individual Christians. But what does a faithful church look like? A faithful church will pay close attention to how we treat one another, the attitudes we share, and the kind of people we're becoming together in Christ. Isn't this the kind of church you'd want to be part of? Read more...

Second Thessalonians | 2 Thess 1:1-12 | Dave Jordan Watch on YouTube

Matt Murphy draws from 1 Timothy 6 to call the church to a long-haul faithfulness formed through gospel-rooted pursuit and fueled by grace. Using the imagery of drifting from wonder, it reminds us that faithfulness doesn't happen by accident—it's cultivated through intentional pursuit of God's character, truth, and eternal life. Paul charges Timothy to flee sin, pursue virtue, fight for truth, and hold onto life in Christ, all motivated by God's presence and the promise of Jesus' return. Though we fall short and drift into distraction, we are not left alone—Christ was faithful first, and His grace empowers our pursuit. Our response isn't striving in our own strength, but surrendering to the grace of the One who pursued us first. Faithfulness, then, becomes not just a task but a response of love and worship.

In John ten, twenty-seven, Jesus said “My sheep hear My voice. I know them and they follow Me.” In Revelation chapter three, Jesus praises the church at Philadelphia for its faithfulness.  One of the rewards for that faithfulness is a deeper, more intimate walk with Christ, one in which you can hear His voice better than you otherwise might. Today, Ron points to three other blessings that come when we are faithful to God. Stay with us now as Ron moves ahead in his teaching series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.

It was a small church with little power or influence. Some would have called it insignificant. But Jesus paid them the highest of compliments. Of the seven churches to whom Jesus dictated letters in Revelation chapters two and three, the church at Philadelphia stands alone as the only one to receive no correction or criticism. What was it about this church that drew such high praise from Jesus. Stay with us now to find out, as Ron continues his series, “Ready For His Return,” based on Revelation chapters 1-3.
