Listen "The Dying Church of Sardis"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a text"know Surrender" presents an excerpt from a sermon delivered on the YouTube channel "BPFC," focusing on the biblical letter to the church at Sardis found in Revelation chapter three. The speaker interprets Christ's message to Sardis as a warning against spiritual deadness, where a church may have a reputation for being alive but is, in fact, devoid of true faith. The sermon compares Sardis's historical decline and refusal to acknowledge its weakening state to the perceived complacency and spiritual decay of established churches today. It identifies key signs of a "dead" church, such as prioritising tradition over scripture, focusing on worldly success rather than Christ's agenda, and neglecting the essential doctrines of repentance and sound teaching. Ultimately, the speaker challenges listeners to self-reflect and ensure their own church embodies genuine faith and active engagement with the Gospel.Welcome to Know Surrender—a podcast about learning what it truly means to surrender to Jesus Christ.
