Episode 57: Christ desires you to OVERCOME, are you? (Part 5B - Sardis)

In this series on OVERCOMING we will be doing a few episodes looking at Jesus' final words to his church.  His desire is for the church to overcome or to conquer.  Now some may think it doesn't really matter in the end, however, Jesus has some stern warnings to some of these churches if they do not overcome or fix the current problem that he sees.  The consequences of not fixing the problem and overcoming are eternal consequences as we will find out as we at each church.

As we continue looking at the church of Sardis in part 5B it is important to understand the difference between the many who had soiled themselves vs the many who didn't.  Who were those who didn't need to wake up, who Jesus would not come as a thief, whose names would not be blotted out of the book of life.? 

In Part 5B, the next episode we will look at "waking up", "white clothes", and names in the "book of life".
