A sermon on Revelation 3:7-13 by pastor Andrew Dionne. Preached on July 13, 2025, evening service, at Trinity Presbyterian Church (Evangel Presbytery) in Spartanburg, SC.
A word to the weak. We feel weak for a range of reasons - physically weak through sickness, or surgery, or tiredness; psychologically weak, as we feel sad or stressed; spiritually weak as we wrestle with doubts and temptations. To the church at Philadelphia, and through them to us, Jesus says, “ I know your deeds… I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my Name.” Jesus with the keys to the Kingdom in his hands, keeps the door open for the weak. Join us to apply these words to our situations. Amen

Sunday Pastor Rick Barnett 7/6/2025
In Revelations 3, Jesus speaks to the Christians at Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, and, through them, to us! We notice one church is hot, one is cold, and one is lukewarm with respect to their relationship with Jesus. Listen out for which is which, and which one reflects your heart. There are great promises here for the person who takes following Jesus seriously. Let the one who hears listen to what the Spirit says to us through these letters!

Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

Revelation 3 is our Lord's timeless message of warning, advice and essential attitudinal changes were required of the 3 of the 7 Turkish ecclesias Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea. The first had to realise that the reputation Sardis once enjoyed was gone and they needed to wake up, repent and get back to their roots. Philadelphia, alone of the ecclesias received no condemnation, but rather they are encouraged to remain steadfast. On the other hand, the wealthy Laodicea was pitifully ignorant of their true state and needed to open the door of their hearts to the soon to be returned and door-knocking Lord Jesus Christ. Chapter 4 presents the Christ ruling with his saints in glory. The chapter is an invitation for the Lamb, the Lord Jesus Christ, to ascend into the political heavens through the open door and rule upon the earth. This is an encouraging vision of the kingdom on which we will elaborate on in tomorrows' comments. Chapter 4 presents the Christ ruling with his saints in glory. It is part of a vision of the Lord Jesus Christ ruling in glory with his saints - faithful believers - during the kingdom age soon to come. The Apostle John as part of the Lords bride is invited into the political heavens of rulership at the start of this vision. The first part of this vision is revealed in chapter 4 verses 2-11. John sees the throne of the Lamb surrounded by 24 elders who represent the worthy saints of all time until the resurrection. They are the 24 orders of king-priests that reign with Jesus Messiah. These 24 elders are described in verse 7 as being like the cherubim of Ezekiel 1 and the seraphim of Isaiah 6. In verses 8-11 they rightfully ascribe glory to God and His glorious Son.

In our exploration of Revelation 3:7-15, we discover the powerful message to the church in Philadelphia. This passage teaches us about patient endurance in the face of adversity and the supreme authority of Christ. The key lesson here is that even when we feel powerless, Jesus sees our faithfulness and promises to keep us secure. We're reminded that holding fast to our faith isn't about our own strength, but about trusting in Christ's victory. The imagery of Jesus holding the 'key of David' symbolizes His ultimate authority over salvation and judgment. This message challenges us to examine our own loyalty - are we holding fast to Christ, or are we tempted to exchange our allegiance for worldly comforts? As we navigate our daily lives, let's remember that we are co-heirs with Christ, royalty in God's kingdom, even when the world tells us otherwise. This passage encourages us to endure, knowing that our patient obedience is seen and will be rewarded by our loving Savior.

What if our greatest spiritual danger isn't outright rejection of faith, but comfortable indifference? In this thought-provoking exploration of Revelation's message to the churches, we confront the reality of lukewarm faith and its devastating consequences in both our spiritual and personal lives.Time—our most precious and limited resource—reveals our true priorities regardless of what we claim matters to us. When we examine how we actually spend our days, many of us would be shocked to discover the disconnect between our professed values and our lived experience. While we enthusiastically devote hours to sports, entertainment, and social media, our spiritual lives and closest relationships often receive merely lukewarm attention. This pattern of distracted devotion doesn't just damage our relationship with God—it creates irreparable rifts in our marriages, parent-child relationships, and friendships.The wisdom from America's founding era provides a crucial perspective on these issues. Alexander Hamilton articulated that "civil liberty is founded in natural liberty," which he described as "a gift of the beneficent Creator." Unlike nations where the state controls religious expression, America was designed with the understanding that spiritual foundations must support civic institutions, not the other way around. President Rutherford Hayes reinforced this principle, noting that America's success depends "not upon the constraint of force but upon the loving devotion of free people" choosing to honor God's principles.Through a stirring examination of historical religious persecution—from the Catholic Church's actions against the Waldenses to the atheistic bloodshed of the French Revolution—we gain sobering clarity about what happens when any institution or ideology gains unlimited power. The pattern of persecution against those who stand for truth transcends time periods and specific belief systems, reminding us that "peaceful coexistence" often proves temporary when opposing worldviews compete for dominance.Don't wait until it's too late to rekindle your passion for what truly matters. Make today the day you choose to be "hot" rather than lukewarm in your faith and love. Your time is finite—invest it where eternal returns await.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

The Forgotten Virtue of Zeal (Revelation 3:14–22) - Craig Shuff
In this powerful exploration of Revelation 3:1-6, we're confronted with the sobering reality of spiritual complacency. The church in Sardis serves as a stark warning to us all - having a reputation for being alive, yet being spiritually dead. This message challenges us to examine our own spiritual vitality. Are we, like Sardis, merely going through the motions of faith? The call to 'wake up' and 'strengthen what remains' resonates deeply, urging us to revitalize our relationship with Christ. The imagery of white garments symbolizes purity and victory, reminding us of the transformative power of Christ's blood. As we reflect on our own spiritual state, let's remember that our God is one who can breathe life into dead bones. He offers us the opportunity for spiritual resurrection, challenging us to move beyond mere reputation to a living, vibrant faith that impacts every aspect of our lives.

You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you. 4 Yet you have still a few names in Sardis, people who have not soiled their garments, and they will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5 The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life. I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels. 6 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'#DanielBatarseh #Revelation #BookofRevelation #BibleStudy #mbchicago #mbcchicago #Bible #versebyverse #sermon #sermons #sermononline #bookofrevelation #bookofrevelations #revelation #revelations #newtestament #scripture #verses #lessons #church #chicago #livechurch #churchlive #chicagochurch #chicagochurches #prophecy #prophetic #jesus #jesuschrist
