"Wake Up" from Revelation 3:1-6

Nelson's New Illustrated Bible Dictionary: Completely Revised and Updated EditionSardis it is the great city of wealth and fame but it is also called the "dead church". Jesus Christ rebuke some of its member.

It is also important to refresh ourselves with God's word.

Sardis was a rich church but they fell into worshipping idols. Remember that we can worship any things in this world more than God.

Why does it talk about the 7 Spirits?

Seven was the completion as God created everything in 7 days.

The church of Sardis needs to be revived. When we talk about waking up, ask ourself, how do I relate it in our daily life?

We learn about so many things in this world, and for us to learn anything we need to always learn the basic first. This the same thing in our relationship with the Lord. We are so busy in our daily tasks that we forget the basic of what God wants us to do. Always remember what God has done for you and me, remember the cross.

Faith without deeds is dead. We need to wake up.

Revelation 3:1-2
1"To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits[b]of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your deeds complete in the sight of my God.

Always think about God. Remember to go back to the basic. And there will be hope and it can be found in Christ alone. Remember all his blessings; the ability to see, walk and work. And for us to be spiritually awake remember God's Love, His mercy is new every morning.

Matthew 25:13 13"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.

Hebrews 2:1 We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

Another thing to keep in mind to be able us to wake up:
Be honest and admit there is something wrong with our heart and repent.

Pastor’s Message
Psalm 73:28a But as for me, it is good to be near God.
How good it is to be near God. We know that we need God’s presence all the time. And God will always be with us to guide and help us in our walk with him. Depend on Jesus everyday!

Nice Christian Life Experiences

No man can be a complete model. That is why we need to look up to God. Be careful with lust its just sexual immorality and not love. The world will tell you its okay to look at the naked woman/man as long as you only look and don't touch, that is wrong ways of the world. The world will say that its ok to have sex before marriage as long as you love each other, marriage is just a contract with a piece of paper, = also wrong Remember God said wait and be pure before marriage. Keep in mind, Bad company corrupt Good character. Be very careful who to imitate. 1 Corinthians 3:19 For wisdom of the world is foolishness with God.

"Pay Attention" from 2 Kings 21

We had a Communion taken from verse 1 Corinthians 11:17-33 17 In the following directives I have no praise for you, for your meetings do more harm than good. 18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God's approval. 20 When you come together, it is not the Lord's Supper you eat, 21 for as you eat, each of you goes ahead without waiting for anybody else. One remains hungry, another gets drunk. 22 Don't you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God and humiliate those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you for this? Certainly not! 23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this i

"Grow In Christ" from Matthew 10:1-20

1 Keep me safe, my God, for in you I take refuge. 2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; apart from you I have no good thing.” 3 I say of the holy people who are in the land, “They are the noble ones in whom is all my delight.” 4 Those who run after other gods will suffer more and more. I will not pour out libations of blood to such gods or take up their names on my lips. 5 LORD, you alone are my portion and my cup; you make my lot secure. 6 The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; surely I have a delightful inheritance. 7 I will praise the LORD, who counsels me; even at night my heart instructs me. 8 I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. 9 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest secure, 10 because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, nor will you let your faithful[b] one see decay. 11 You make known to me the p
