That kind of attitude is nauseating to the Lord because that is lukewarmness which He wants to vomit out of His mouth. The last warning was that of Laodicea, who had spiritual indifference. A fourth is that of complacency, meaning to be self-satisfied without being aware of any possible danger. A third one is compromising sin within the church. A second church was tolerating bad doctrine or teaching. So far of the five churches were that the first church was declining love and all these churches in some way diminishes the light of the gospel by the problems and warnings they had. He becomes a very important to the church, One who we shouldnвЂ™t just find information about but come to know and love and serve. The church is an institution that Got has given to the world that holds and shares the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Him being the center of the Scripture from Genesis to Revelation. The churches are the lampstands, the stars are the leaders or the elders of those churches, and the job of the church is to hold up the light and share it with others, not just to keep it for themselves.

The Lord is walking among the churches to see how they were doing. Five of them had warnings and two of them had no warnings. WeвЂ™ve been looking at seven churches of Revelation and are on the last one now. If youвЂ™re not that familiar with the Scriptures yet thatвЂ™s okay, weвЂ™ve all been there, but the best thing would be to just open up and join us. Today we are looking at the church of Philadelphia. Okay letвЂ™s take our Bibles this morning and turn to Revelation 3.

Pastor Babij urges listeners to hear all that the Lord has said to the seven churches and apply the ancient exhortations today. Pastor Babij explains three key characteristics of this church:ДЎ. This church is the second of two churches that receives no condemnation from Jesus, only commendation. In this sermon, Pastor Babij preaches on JesusвЂ™ message to the church at Philadelphia in the book of Revelation.
