    The mark of the church is reality. What is said and done is a true reflection of what they are inwardly.

    President Harry Truman enjoyed telling the story about a man who was hit on the head at work. The blow was so severe that he was knocked unconscious for an extended period. His family was convinced that he was dead. The funeral home was called, and the undertaker picked him up at the hospital. ...read more

    can a church that was once so full of life become a white-washed tomb full of dead men’s bones and rotting corpses? That, my fellow investigators, is our job this morning as “Christian Soul Investigators.” Get it? “CSI”

    God morning, brothers and sisters! Welcome to “CSI: Canton.” For those of you who live in a cave and don’t have cable, “CSI” stands for “Crime Scene Investigation.” Now, CSI started out as a weekly crime show that literally began at the turn of the century … in the year 2000 … on CBS.

    The Bible says that God (TAB) “is patient… not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 (TAB) God is holy –if sin is in His presence it’s consumed.

    You are not being loyal or honoring God by putting makeup on a cadaver. Seek life, not mausoleums.

    Revelation 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. If every church in Revelation, including the ones He complimented the most, ceased to ...read more

    These warnings in Revelation 2 and 3, serve generally as a wakeup call. A call to attention, A call to leave nothing undone, A call to carry God’s gospel with firsthand experience and knowledge of the gospels ability to do whatever is needed!

    Sardis—Wake Up! Church… Revelation 3:1-6NIV We begin by reading prayerfully the same scriptures in Revelation 1. First, Revelation 1:1-3NIV The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it by His angel to His ...read more

    There are many good studies and observations about the seven churches from a spiritual perspective that can be applied to churches today. However, this study will not address them, but rather review the actual history of the churches and where they are today (2025).

    In the Book of Revelation, Jesus sent a message to seven churches that were located in the western part of Asia Minor, directly south of the Black Sea (Modern day Turkey). The word "church" is translated from the Greek word "ekklesia" which means the people of God, the whole ...read more

    Churches are closing at a alarming rate in America.. Why are they dying? The Lord gives us a picture of a Dead church and gives us the solution

    I like Murder Mystery’s. And before you get mad and leave the church because you are thinking that I am promoting violence. I like them because I want to solve the mystery or who did it before the show reveals it. And the key is the Autopsy – It usually reveals the cause of death which gets you ...read more

    Contributed by Fred Sigle on Jan 12, 2023
     | 2,829 views

    The apostle John is asked by the resurrected and victorious Christ to write to the seven churches of Asia, a message that, although directed to specific churches, applies to the church universal.

    A. Revelation 3:1-2a (READ) 1. Okay, I have a question for you, and I want to be completely honest. “How many of you have ever fallen asleep in church?” (I think some are ASLEEP right now and didn’t even hear the question.) 2. When Christ says, “WAKE UP!” He’s not referring to ...read more

    God speaks to us through the bible messages, which were written more than 2000 years ago… as if he’s living with us today.... this is another word from God to us all.

    Revelations 3:1 and to the angel of the church in Sardis write, ‘These things says He who has the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars: “I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. 2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things, which remain, that are ready to die, ...read more

    The Dead Church

    Many churches all over the world are dead churches. Why? Because they have forsaken the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They are still living on past victories and faded glory from long past. They are not living the daily life with Christ the Lord and as such, have now grown cold to the Gospel.

    Please turn in your Bibles to Revelation Chapter 3, as today we are going to look at verses 1-6, Jesus’ warning to the church at Sardis. John MacArthur, in his exposition of these verses, used an illustration that has stuck with me. I would like to begin with it. He talked about the phenomenon ...read more

    The Letter To Sardis

     | 1,279 views

    This will sit well with those who believe that you can lose your justification because of your actions. The belief of once saved always saved is clearly challenged in this letter. When one comes to be a disciple of Jesus Christ one must follow the words of Him.

    The Letter to Sardis Revelation 3:1-6 Michael H. Koplitz The letter to the church at Sardis is a straightforward letter with very little symbolism. The one who holds the seven stars is Jesus Christ. We have read about this symbolism in earlier letters. The reference that is made to those who will ...read more

    Act 2:41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and ...read more

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 4, 2026
     | 172 views

    The Lord didn't have much good to say about Sardis. Yet "even in Sardis", there were some genuine believers who wanted to live for our Lord, and did so!

    The Seven Churches-Sardis Introduction: The year 1747, a park bench in Warsaw, Poland in the mid-1950’s, and a church in what’s now western Turkey. On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be a common thread, but the truth is that all of these refer to the church in Sardis. This church is the fifth ...read more

    Appearing alive is not the same as being spiritually alive.

They were written for the church in every generation. And the question we return to each week is the same: “The ...read more
