The Weak Church and The Sovereign Lord | Revelation 3: 7-13

What door of opportunities are open before us as a church? This letter was written to the sixth church in Philadelphia-in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). Like Tokyo, the city there lived in insecurity because of frequent earthquakes. The church was facing a lot of pressures from the religious Jews and the Roman Emperor cult. Verse 8 says the church had "but little power." As a minority, this church was rather small and weak.' But, in the midst of all the challenges, they remained faithful to Jesus. So, following in our passage, we'll see: a The Lord who opens the door for us. b) The Lord who keeps us in our trial. c) The Lord who is coming soon for us.
