To Sardis

Contentment. Complacency. Status Quo. These can be a dangerous place to be. It's easy to get comfortable and content with how things are or how they have been. It seems that the church in Sardis had become content or complacent and was surviving on past successes. They believed they were alive. At least, that's what everyone else thought. But Jesus had a completely different assessment. "You are dead." Wow! Is there any lesson for us from the message in the church in Sardis?
