Dr Randall Smith – The Seven Churches - Part 6 - Philadelphia - Trailer

In this compelling and insightful DVD series on the letters of Revelation 2 & 3, which Jesus wrote to the seven churches of Revelation through the quill of John, you’ll feel part of perhaps the most impactful journey into the very life of the early Church – as expounded by guide, Dr. Randall Smith.

Sixth of Seven DVDs: PHILADELPHIA. The city of Philadelphia or “brotherly love” was founded by Eumenes, a king in the Pergamene kingdom, who built the city to say, “I love my brother”. But unfortunately the city was built right on a fault line where violent earthquakes caused great destruction to buildings, leaving them damaged and fallen. Even today most of the houses in the city have cracked walls.

The people of Philadelphia expected to receive aid from their government, which was not sufficient. One of the emperors, Domitian actually ordered the people to rip out all their vines, robbing them of any income that they could still generate. They felt betrayed. But Jesus looked at these Christians differently.

And therefore we need to view this video with the question: What does it mean to stand for Jesus in times of trouble and despair? Please watch this DVD to see what Jesus promised to these people who felt marginalized and unimportant.
