    WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: August 19, 2026, Revelation 3:1-6 “God’s Measure Of A Church - Sardis”

    The fifth church being measured by God was the church at Sardis, a wealthy and powerful city sitting built on an imposing hill that made it nearly immune to defeat by opposing armies, a city in which the culture was complacent in their position. While the church was wealthy by human standard, Christ strongly confronts it because of two major problems. First, the church had a reputation without reality, a church that many saw as prosperous and blessed, but which was actually dead. As II Timothy 3:5 explains, the church “had the appearance of godliness but denied its power. God is not impressed by what tends to impress us – numbers, wealth and facilities are not enough!  Second, the church was marked by “empty works” – they were doing things, but the works were empty and unproductive in terms of the Kingdom! They were merely “going through the motions”. The answer for Sardis was to wake up, strengthen what remains, and keep the Biblical commands. Christ warns of coming discipline should they continue in merely having the form without the reality.

    WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: August 12, 2026, Revelation 2:18-29 “God’s Measure Of A Church- Thyatira”

    The fourth church being measured by God was the church at Thyatira, a smaller city that was a center for the textile and dye industry of that era. It was the home town of Lydia, the seller of purple goods that we encounter in Acts 16:14-15. While the church had some strengths, God confronts it because the church as tolerating the existence of two emphases that would destroy the vitality of the church. First, they were tolerating the teaching of prophets and prophetesses who were adding to the scriptures teaching they said were received directly from God through them and were thus authoritative (as in “God, or the Spirit, told me – or thus saith the Lord”. But the scriptures are the final Word from God and He is giving no other until the end of this age. Second, the church was tolerating teachers who were encouraging people to seek after “deeper things”, spiritual truths that are deeper than the objective Word of God. God confronted such toleration and called for the church to repent and stop permitting such teaching to be tolerated and go unopposed in the church. There is place for only one authority – the inspired Word of God!

    WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: August 5, 2026, Revelation 2:12-17 “God’s Measure Of A Church- Pergamum”

    The third church being measured by God was the church at Pergamum. Smyrna was wealthy city, a center of learning, religion, and the arts – a sophisticated center of culture. The church is commended because it remained true to Christ’s Name in the face of false othe4r worldviews. The church was also commended because they people did not deny their faith in the face of community opposition, an opposition that even led to some of the people being martyred. Despite such positives, the church was unhealthy because they were tolerating false teaching by groups labeled as “Balaamites and Nicolaitans”. These groups were responsible for teaching that was having the effect of loosening moral absolutes, minimizing the need to avoid unequal yoking in marriages, and lessening the commitment to holy and surrendered lives as disciple. God called for the church to repent and stop permitting such teaching to be tolerated and go unopposed in the church.

    WEDNESDAY’S IN THE WORD: July 29, 2026, Revelation 2:8-11 “God’s Measure Of A Church- Smyrna”

    The second church being measured by God was the church at Smyrna. Smyrna was a port city located some 35 miles from Ephesus and was the center of the enforcement of emperor worship. The church family at Smyrna, refusing to publicly bow before the emperor’s mandate, was facing severe opposition and trials. In fact the were facing tribulation, poverty and slander because they refused to “conform to the world” around them. God’s message to them was one of encouragement and not rebuke. He called for them to continue to not give in to fear, to rest n the fact that nothing happened to them outside of God permission, and that remaining faithful despite opposition was important. He also turned their minds to the eternal promise that they had avoided the “second death” due to their repentance and faith in the Gospel. Keeping eternity in view helps a church family to balance out discouragement over current suffering.
