I see dead people—Revelation 3:1-6
Thesis: Sardis is proof that a church can become spiritual zombies walking in spiritual decay completely unaware how God really views them.
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. “‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead.
2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God.
Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent.
Warning: “If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.”
