Baseline Christian Fellowship

Sardis was one of the wealthiest cities of the time. It sat up on a hill and was heavily fortified. Historians do not know who started the church there or how large it was. We only have reference to this church in the book of Revelation. What we do know is that the Holy Ghost worked there as it had in another first-century church. Also, like the other early churches, the church at Sardis began to be affected by the culture of their surrounding and began to slip from the vision they had in the beginning. John's letter was a call for them to get back on track. They were going through the motions, but God told them they were dead. This condition was not terminal. God speaks to them about how to recover. He tells them to be watchful. If we are not watchful, we cannot receive the message. Then He tells them to strengthen that which remains. They had not lost everything. Do not ruminate about the failures. Focus on what is remains and build from there. God will take those things left and equip us to make it with what we have. God is interested in what is left that He can use to bless us.

Thank you for listening. We pray the podcast is a blessing to you. Please visit our website www.columbianabaptist.com.

“Your work stinks,” That’s what Jesus is saying to the Sardis Christians, “Your work stinks.” And that’s got to hurt. “I know your works; you have a name of being alive, but you are dead.” And I wondered, “What does this mean?”

To the angel of the church in Sardis write...

“Code Blue” is a life-threatening situation for both your body and a body of local believers. This Sunday, we will discover what Jesus calls a spiritually dying church to do based on His letter in Revelation 3:1-6.

The city where gold was once in abundance, home of Croesus and Aesop, had a church that had a reputation for being alive, but it was dead. God sees the heart. We can be mister perfect Christian on the outside but be an impatient, selfish brat at home when no one sees. That means all the praise of man for our good works is misplaced. But God is not fooled. Time to wake up!

Revelation 3:1-6 The Letter to the Church in Sardis

In a continuation of our series from the letters written to seven churches found in the beginning of the book of Revelation (last book in the New Covenant), Pastor Marc Sharp discusses the letter to the church in Sardis. The author of each letter is Jesus. in Sardis, things looked great! They were the talk of the town, things were popping! But in reality, things were much more dire than they could imagine. The church’s character can’t be hidden by hypocrites who try to polish their image, or faithful sufferers feeling forgotten in trial. Jesus really knows his church!
