Podcast: Revelation 3:1-6, “Don’t Get Dead”

About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of maintaining a church's gospel foundation to avoid spiritual death, using Sardis as a cautionary example.

If/when a church leaves its gospel foundation in the pursuit of other things, the church dies. If/when churches leave Jesus, they leave their source of life. Sardis did, and they were condemned as dead. May we never leave our source of life, always keeping Jesus and His gospel as our foundation!
