The church at Philadelphia was a church with little strength. Christ has the keys of David, power and authority over all the world and over all who will enter through the door. To those that hold fast to the truth of the Gospel in the face of those that refuse to recognize Christ, there is the promise that they will not be put through the hour of trial; they will be placed immovably in the presence of God, as He first intended us to be. VF-2046 Revelation 3:7-13

The warning to the church at Sardis was to be vigilant in their faith and resist complacency. We too need to heed this warning and recognize that we are stewards for Christ's sake. Otherwise, we face the danger of becoming walking dead people: having the outer shell of a Christian without any spiritual life. VF-2045

The church at Thyatira was lured away by a group of people, typified by Jezebel of the Old Testament. They appointed themselves as the “oracles of God” and perverted the true message, luring people away from fidelity towards God to something that is offered and acceptable in the world, but not to God. Small churches will always face the same danger. This is why we must heed the warning and grab hold of the promise: those who overcome will be given the morning star Himself, Jesus Christ, and power over the nations. VF-2044 Revelation 2:18-29
