CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Revelation 3

Jesus addresses Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. Sardis has a reputation for life but is spiritually sleepy; Philadelphia has little strength yet keeps Christ’s word and receives an open door; Laodicea is lukewarm, self-satisfied, and blind to its true poverty. Christ stands at the door calling for renewed fellowship and promises reward to overcomers.
