Sermons About Philadelphia
The Church of Philadelphia: Revelation 3:7-13
The church of Philadelphia was a weak church. It wasn’t like Sardis. It didn’t have a reputation for being alive; it had a reputation for being weak and small. This church was constantly being persecuted by the Jews. Jesus knows they had little power, and he was not disappointed in their weakness because in it they turned to him. This church chose to cling to Jesus because they knew they needed him more than peace with the Jews, more than a comfortable life, and more than a good reputation. They knew that they were weak and that his grace alone was enough. They knew that they were sinners and that his blood alone could rescue them from the wrath of God and give them peace with him. Jesus loves those who cling to him above all else. No one whose hope is in Jesus will ever be disappointed, so Jesus comes to show them why they have chosen wisely. He comes to show them, and us, why he is better than everything else.

Let Brotherly Love Continue
You cannot rightly call yourself a Christian and not be actively sacrificing yourself for other believers. My purpose for preaching is to call each of you to radical selfless love for not only the believers in this room but for believers everywhere.

The Door is Open!
The church at Philadelphia receives no rebuke - just encouragement to keep on keeping on! Jesus acknowledges that they have "little strength" and that from a worldly perspective they might not think they have much to offer, but He places in front of them open doors that He expects them to walk through! How relevant to us today! Many believers think that they have little to offer the "kingdom" of God. But as the old saying goes: "Little is much, when God is in it." So many doors of opportunity for salvation, for service, for endurance stand open in front of us. The only question is: Will we step in? Key Passage: Revelation 3:7-13
