    In Revelation, Jesus tells the Church at Philadelphia that He is opening a door for them which no one can shut. This is a door of favor, spiritual growth, and opportunity to witness. He'll open that same door for us if we desire it!

    DOORS OF DESTINY INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Late one night, a mugger wearing a ski mask jumped into the path of a well-dressed man and stuck a gun in his ribs. “Give me your money,” he demanded. Indignant, the affluent man replied, “You can’t do this, I’m a ...read more

    Churches can refuse to face the reality of their spiritual condition before God. Styles and traditions can become so fixed that they continue and become empty of Holy Spirit power. Good works and a nice church format are not what God is seeking.

    Philadelphia always stayed faithful to the Christian faith until the end of its history, a powerful testament to the nature of a church for which Jesus had no admonition nor condemnation. God grant that we, too, may have that faithfulness to the end.

    To the Sardis church-those whose faith had become like used up coals-a mere ember where a flame of life and light-giving heat had once been-Jesus says Remember, Keep, and Repent.

    Congregational leaders need to keep themselves and their members alive and zealously active by invoking and cooperating with the life-reviving Holy Spirit.

    Verse 1 - In each of the seven letters, Jesus introduces Himself differently to each church congregation.

    Letter To The Philadelphia Congregation Series

    Due to their rejection of Christ, the Jews lost their position as being God's Chosen. The Church, composed of the believing Jewish Remnant and Gentiles, is now God's Chosen. Christians, alone, have access to the throne of God.

    Verse 7 – Again, we see that this letter is sent to the angel of the church; that is, to the leadership of the congregation in Philadelphia. In the other Letters to the six other congregations, Jesus introduced Himself by taking phrases from the vision of Christ in Chapter 1. This is not ...read more
