Comfort Of Titus - (Series: Lessons On 2 Corinthians) Series

Sardis: Confessions Of A Dying Church Series

Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013

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.

For the majority there it was too late, their faith had already flat lined. What begins ...read more
