08 Revelation 3:7-13 ... Letters to the Churches (Philadelphia)

In this study, we consider the message of Jesus Christ to the church of Philadephia. In His introduction to this church, Jesus refers to His character and authority; both of which point to His deity. Jesus then commends this church unlike any of the other churches; He does not have a rebuke for them. Rather He gives them, as an assembly, two promises which can be summarized as: 'I will promote you and preserve you.' To individuals, He promises: 'To him who overcomes, I will make a pillar in the temple of My God.' This message was presented on Sunday, February 22, 2009 by Bob Corbin.
