The Church in Crises and Commitment Revelation 3:1–13

It has been said that many churches begin with a man, reach out with a mission, become a movement, and eventually end up a monument. Often this is true, but not for every church. The church at Sardis was spiritually dead and did end up as a monument, but the church at Philadelphia was spiritually alive and ministered for centuries. Both of these churches have an important message for us today.
