Covenant Reformed Presbyterian Church

Today in Jesus' fifth letter, to the church at Sardis, there is something quite different that is dealt with. There is no mention of heresy or immorality, nor of persecution. All who visited saw what appeared to be a healthy, vibrant, faithful, prosperous church. This time, there are no charges of false doctrine of immoral behaviour, no charges of a lack of diligence in deeds of love, forsaking worship or inappropriate worship, tolerating false teachers- Sardis was itself a very wealthy city. It was also well known for its immorality. But the church at Sardis had the prosperity without the immorality. Nevertheless, Jesus has little good to say to this church and its leadership.
