These timeless letters reveal a message of God’s love through the death and resurrection of His Son Jesus, identify and provide correction for problems in the church, and offer hope and encouragement for the future. 00:00 01:35: Introduction 01:35 02:50: "To the Angel of the Church in Sardis" (Revelation 3:1 6) 02:50 07:46: Ancient Sardis 07:46 13:42: "You Look Alive, but You Are Dead" Christ's Warning to the Church of Sardis 13:42 17:50: "Strengthen What Little You Have Left" Christ's Call of Repentance to the Church of Sardis 17:50 20:56: The Pressures of Sardis Visible Today 20:56 25:04: “He Who Overcomes" Christ's Message of Hope to the Church of Sardis 25:04 25:30: End Credits In this seven part series, you’ll travel to what remains of the ancient sites of the churches in Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.
