As we finish Revelation, we are going back to 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 Sardis. Sardis was a wealthy, safe, comfortable city along five major trade routes and blessed with a river that produced gold. Its geography kept it safe except for two embarrassing moments when its walls were breeched because they had no one standing guard.

Jesus see the church in Sardis in much the same way - comfortable and active, yet dead. They are missing the very thing He offers - the Spirit of God.
