26.24 The King is Coming - The Revelation of Jesus Christ - The Church in Sardis (Part 2)

In this, our second episode on Christ's words to the church in Sardis, Craig and LaDonna finish up their review of the thirty-three things the Holy Spirit does according to Scripture.  It's quite a comprehensive review, isn't it!  From there, the Smith's finish their comments on the Holy Spirit as He lives within the believer.  They then turn their attention to the indicting words of Christ to Sardis, where He says that though they have a reputation for being alive, in reality, they are a dead church.  With the help of well known radio preacher of a generation ago, Dr. J. Vernon McGee's strong commentary on this passage, the veil is lifted off of Sardis and the reason they were considered dead by Christ becomes obvious.  And today's episode finishes off with a more contemporary review of how presenting one's self, or one's church, or one's organization may make it look alive, Christ's words to Sardis become much more relevant to our modern times.  How does a quote from Dr. Tony Evans Bible Commentary and a subsequent article on him in Christianity Today magazine bring to life these sad realities?  Well, you'll just have to listen to today's installment of Indigenous Faith to find out.  As always, Craig and LaDonna welcome you to today's study on Christ's words to the church in Sardis.
