Episode Synopsis

Send us a textA discussion on an excerpt from a sermon transcript, likely from a YouTube channel named "BPFC," which addresses the "Letter to the Church at Philadelphia" found in Revelation 3. The speaker begins by reading the scripture, focusing on Christ's authority ("the Key of David") and the promise of an "Open Door" for the faithful, small church. The message is applied directly to the preacher's own small congregation, the Bootle Protestant Free Church, contrasting their focus on the "word of God" and avoidance of theatrics with larger, resource-rich churches that rely on modern methods to attract people. The sermon stresses the importance of preaching "Christ and him crucified" as the only true work and source of salvation, assuring the small, persevering congregation that they will be protected during the coming "hour of Temptation" due to their steadfast commitment to Christ's teachings.Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ.
