Over the next seven weeks, we will look at each of the seven churches to whom the letter of Revelation was written. Each city is unique and therefore their introduction to the letter is unique.
In this sermon we are looking at the church in Philadelphia. Philadelphia was once an important city along a major trade route in Asia Minor. The Greeks saw Philadelphia as an open door to the rest of the world. But over time, Philadelphia became beat down and essentially left for dead. Opportunity seemed to be years in the past. But Jesus has a different perspective. As the One who has the power to open doors and give purpose, Jesus encourages the church in Philadelphia to keep going!
