    It is OK to bury the dead. If your church is dead, join with another one and repurpose your building or sell it giving the money to poor, missions or something useful.

    Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Churches are failing. Some due to neglect of the pastor and congregation. Some ...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!

    The Historical Fate Of The Seven Churches In The Book Of Revelation

     | 9,480 views

    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. The word "church" is translated from the Greek word "ekklesia" which means the people of God, the whole collective body of ...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

    Apostle John in the Spirit on the isle of Patmos having an encounter with Jesus. A message for the church at Sardis to wake up, they appeared unstoppable, while in reality, they were dead and doing nothing of value.

    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

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 Of 4 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Nov 14, 2025
     | 8 views

    The Parable of the Hidden Treasure and its true meaning have been considered in the past two messages. Today we examine the church at Sardis and see how strategic that is to the Protestant Reformation. Sardis means “escaping” and that applied to the Reformation.

    19. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 3 of 4 This study continues. We expand on some of the previous material and then open up a study on the church that matches the fifth parable. There is a challenge in looking at that Revelation church. [H]. EXPANDING THE ...read more

     | 11 views

    The closing message looks at the Reformation along with the incompleteness and deadness. The Reformation was wrought with many problems that stunted the movement. That is considered, and we finish with a look at the promise given to Abraham.

    20. The Kingdom Parables – The Fifth – The Hidden Treasure – Part 4 of 4 This interesting Parable has been examined in regards to meaning, to its matching church, and to Church History as can be done for all these Parables of the Kingdom. This last message is looking at the reasons why the ...read more

    But we need to hear the REAL Jesus speaking today telling us to WAKE UP to the lies, and get out of the heated water, get OUT of the culture–you are in the world but not OF the world. Not everyone will be let in! We must find our voice to speak up after we WAKE UP!

    This is a sermon about “The Goat and The Frog & The Colon.” When I was growing up, my uncle would drive the stock truck by our house to pick me up and take me along with him to Lugbill’s Farm Auction in Archbold, Ohio. We would haul the choice animals over to the gate, unload, then go inside ...read more

    The Letter To Sardis

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021

    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
