The Church of Sardis: Revelation 3:1-6
This church’s strength is its greatest weakness. This church has the reputation of being alive. However, this reputation has caused them to take their eyes off of Jesus and look to themselves. Jesus calls them to remember the message they received and heard. They were dead in their sins until Jesus came and lived a perfect life and shed his precious blood on their behalf on a roman cross to wash away their sins and clothe them in clean garments of his righteousness. He is the one who is alive and we only live, if we live, through him. All boasting must be in him and in what he has accomplished on the cross. This letter is a call for the church which bears the name Christian to need, love, and treasure Christ. We need to wake up from our delusional self-reliance, and remember when Jesus was our only hope. Remember that you are dead and you need Jesus and the Holy Spirit, which he alone can give, to make you alive.

Dealing With Hidden Wounds
By applying biblical principles we can learn to forgive with God's help. Forgiveness is the pathway to emotional restoration. Forgiveness is not the same as reconciliation and does not mean we should forget. To forgive, we need to recognize that we are all imperfect, relinquish our right to get even and respond to evil with good.

This declaration must be: * Shared with all people * Shared properly 3. Recognize the privileges that bring forth our delight. Our delight comes because: * We belong to God * We are beloved by God * We become saints * We are showered with His blessings
