"What's the Key?" - Revelation 3:7-13

We come to the 6th of our 7 churches identified and addressed in the Book of Revelation. Welcome to Philadelphia!

This church is noteworthy, even though the city it was in was not so much. Philadelphia could not compete with the likes of Ephesus, Smyrna, and Pergamos. The church was not a mega church, boasting big budgets and large staff. It was little.

Why is it noteworthy? This is the second of our churches that receive no correction, just praise! Despite being embedded in the same culture as the rest of the churches, having a large selection of temples to a variety of gods, they are doing well. No mention of tolerating false teachings or other related issues. In fact, quite the opposite.

It's interesting how much Jesus wants to do for this church. As we dig deeper into ancient Philadelphia, we will ask ourselves, "What's the key?" And you will flip it around and ask, "The key to what?" If I told you now, it would spoil the surprise. You can read ahead in Rev 3:7-13, and then you can...
