“The Church That Looked Alive but Was Dead | Sardis & Philadelphia | Revelation Study”

In this in-depth Bible Class from the Book of Revelation, Evangelist John P. Thomas carefully examines the Epistles to the Churches of Sardis and Philadelphia—two churches that stand in sharp spiritual contrast.

Jesus spoke strong and sobering words to the Church at Sardis, saying:

“You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead.” (Revelation 3:1)

Though Sardis appeared active and respected outwardly, Christ exposed its spiritual lifelessness, calling the church to wake up, strengthen what remains, repent, and return to obedience. This message is a powerful warning to every generation of believers and churches that rely on reputation rather than true spiritual life.

In contrast, the Church at Philadelphia, though small in strength, was faithful, obedient, and alive in the eyes of Christ. Jesus set before them an open door, commending their perseverance and loyalty to His Word.

📌 In this teaching, you will learn:
The historical and spiritual background of Sardis and Philadelphia
Why Jesus said Sardis was “alive in name, but dead in reality”
The danger of outward religion without inward life
What made Philadelphia pleasing to Christ
Practical lessons for today’s churches and believers
How to remain spiritually awake in the last days

This Bible teaching is a serious call to self-examination, revival, and faithfulness in a time of spiritual compromise.
