Even though the church in Smyrna faced opposition and persecution, they were faithful. That’s our call, too. In spite of the difficulties that face churches today, we’re called to press on, don’t fear, and be faithful. The reward for faithfulness is the crown of life.

What happens when a church gets to comfortable on their own successes? In this passage Jesus addresses the pitfalls of becoming too comfortable and the roadmap to get out of comfort and into a faithful life.

02-11-24 The 7 Churches-Philadelphia

February 11, 2024 • Pastor George Gasperson • Revelation 3:7–13

Compared to the other 6 churches, we know relatively little about the church in Philadelphia. From Jesus’ letter, we know that while they weren’t strong or influential, they had a unique quality that Jesus focused on and praised them for: they were faithful. We talk a lot about the faithfulness of God, but not so much about the value that God places on our faithfulness. In today’s letter, we’ll see how God rewards faithfulness. How can Christ Community Church become a faithful church in the eyes of Jesus? It starts with you and me. In our hearts, we surrender to the Lordship of Jesus, and we begin to live under His authority. Then we band together as a collection of people who live under the banner and the authority of Jesus. When life beats us down and saps our strength, we stand together in collective resolve, believing that Jesus is in control, and living what we believe. This is the picture of a faithful church. And this is the kind of faith that Jesus rewards.
