7 churches: Sardis by ric Gustafson
Jesus wrote a letter to the congregation in Sardis. He was not happy. The city was wealthy but degenerate. They were nominal Christians which Jesus disliked greatly. In Revelation 3:1, Jesus proclaims that the church is alive yet dead. Jesus tells this church to wake up.
In Revelation 3:3, Jesus tells them that he will be coming to them like a thief. The church relied on their past successes. The church allowed sin to creep into it's membership. The church had a reputation for lax moral standards. Basically, the church walked away from God. Jesus told the church " wake up". This church had become cold and dead.
