The Seven Churches of Revelation Part XI - The Fifth Church of Revelation: Sardis

 Peter and Leslie introduce the fifth Church in the Apocolypse, the Church at Sardis. Jesus reveals Himself as the one Who has the seven spirits of God! He is the one who baptizes in the Holy Spirit. This Church receives a stern warning from the Lord. They have a reputation for being alive in Jesus Christ, but they are spiritually dead. They have replaced the apostolic faith with a form of godliness that denies its power. Through sacred scripture and personal witness, the Doane's relate to times we all practice our faith, as Catholic believers, in name only, just like the believers in Sardis. Also, Leslie shares the faithfulness of Jesus Christ, Who preserved her amid a severe accident. Sometimes, the Lord speaks clearly when we are in the midst of difficulty.
