Sunday Morning Church Service
5th July 2009 9:00AM - 10:00AM
Location: Redlands Christian Reformed Church
Sermon: 
Sixth Church in Revelation - Philadelphia
Preacher: Keith Warren
Bible Passage: Matthew 16:13-20; 25:1-13; Revelation 3:7-13
Sermon Series: Seven Churches
Description:
The church in Philadelphia (in ancient Asia Minor, today's Turkey) is one of the two churches (two out of seven!) in the Book of Revelation which do not receive criticism from the Lord.
It's an insignificant little church: few resources, little finances, no programs, not many movers and shakers in this church.
But in the eyes of the Lord they were a mega-church! They have kept the Lord's Word, they have not denied His Name, and they practiced godly endurance.
Christ - as the only One who opens (and closes!) the Kingdom of heaven - has set before this insignificant group of Christians and open door! That is: an open door into the Kingdom, and an open door into the world!
Community Section Speaker: Keith Warren
