    The Dead Church (The Church Of Sardis)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 31, 2025
     | 462 views

    In this message I will be preaching about the church of Sardis which is known as the DEAD CHURCH. No one will admit they attend a dead church but all over this great nation of ours that is exactly what some people are doing.

    Illus: Some churches have cemeteries on their properties. Your church does not have to have a cemetery to be a dead church. Illus: Vance Havner once commented that ministries often begin with a man who has a vision. That vision is captured by others and becomes a movement. As the movement gains ...read more

    The Church Of Philadelphia (A Loving Church)

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Aug 8, 2025
     | 342 views

    The church of Philadelphia and Smyrna were two churches that the Lord Jesus did not have any words of condemnation for.

    Does this mean they were perfect? Absolutely not! For example, the Bible tells us that Job was perfect and upright man. Does that mean Job was perfect and sinless? No, the only perfect sinless man to walk on this earth was the Lord Jesus. Let me explain how the word PERFECT IS USED IN THE ...read more

    Overcome - Promises Of God For Those Who Do

     | 4,551 views

    Life can be a struggle, but deep seated is the fact that its not the physical things that wrestle with, it is the spiritual. JESUS overcame the things of the world, both physical and spiritual. GOD’s WORD tells us of HIS Promises to those who overcome.

    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.

    What's In A Name Series

    Contributed by Maria Saunders on Jul 14, 2021
     | 12,196 views

    Since the beginning of time, names were significant; they’re important. Biblical names had meaning; they were brands, the family’s trademark.

    Have you ever been in a fickle and all you could do was start think of someone to call upon. All you could do was try to remember that individual’s name. Maybe you saw someone but you couldn’t remember that person’s name (Now I know I’m not by myself in this situation). Since the beginning of ...read more

    Fighting Against Becoming Complacent

    I'm going to use Jesus' letter to the church at Sardis today to help us to become vigilant against becoming complacent.

    Today I want to talk about complacency. Complacency is defined as a feeling of pleasure or security many times while being unaware of any danger. I'm going to use Jesus' letter to the church at Sardis today to help us to become vigilant against becoming complacent. Our focal passage of ...read more

    Words of encouragement can keep us moving forward in the right direction.

    There was a young pastor who said he served alongside the senior pastor and he witnessed him writing 5 to 10 notes of encouragement every Monday. He sent these notes to different people in the church. At the time, he didn't really understand the importance of what he was doing. Why spend so ...read more

    Suppose that the Lord Jesus chose this very moment to return. Would you be ready? Our objective as Christians is not merely to be included in the Rapture but to bring as many people with us as we can. My eternal hope and my ongoing prayer is that neither you nor I get “left behind.”

    One day a pastor was flying home from a speaking engagement. During the flight he observed one of the pilots flirting and chatting it up with one of the women flight attendants. He also noticed that the pilot was wearing a wedding ring and the flight attendant was not. As he watched the couple ...read more

    The Letter To Sardis

    Contributed by Michael Koplitz on Oct 7, 2021
     | 1,277 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
