    A church that is spiritually dead can still hold services, sing hymns, offer prayers, deliver sermons, and do works of ministry – they can go through the motions of “doing church” but they will never be the church without being alive in God’s Holy Spirit!

Jesus has pronounced the church at Sardis as dead. Yet there is hope. A church that is ...read more

    Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
     | 7,456 views

    This is the sixth message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Sardis and how they were spiritually dead and didn't know it.

    As depressing as it might be the opening passage of this letter sounds more like an obituary. The body of believers in Sardis is dead….well almost. Only faint life signs of a faithful remnant remain. For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more
