The Church at Sardis, a Sleeping Church

The city of Sardis was home to the fifth church Jesus addressed in the book of Revelation. Unfortunately this church didn’t have a track record of spiritual health. In fact, the church at Sardis was spiritually dead—asleep at the wheel. Like the city itself, the church of Sardis seems to have put up a good front with too much self-confidence and too little substance. But there was still hope. Those who have drifted off from their wide awake devotion to Jesus Christ must repent and wake up.
