Sermon Series- A Heart Exam for the Church -
Christ’s Message to the Seven Churches
(Revelation 1-3)
Failing Church? . . . or Faithful Church?
As the lifeless body is dead, so faith without actions is dead.
James 2:26
Revelation 3:1-6
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write:
These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the
seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive,
but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to
die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my
God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it
fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and
you will not know at what time I will come to you.
Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes.
They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one
who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot
out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge
that name before my Father and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them
hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

2. In this message, Jesus Christ commands the church in Sardis to "wake
up and repent" because they were focused on themselves and forgot
about the source of their power and reputation.
But He also reminds those that have continued to be faithful that
they will "walk with him".
And to the church in Philadelphia, He also holds out that same
message of hope and encouragement as He promises "His power and
presence to the faithful".
Revelation 3:7-13
“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘The words of the
holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one
will shut, who shuts and no one opens.
“‘I know your works. Behold, I have set before you an open door, which
no one is able to shut. I know that you have but little power, and yet
you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Behold, I will
make those of the synagogue of Satan who say that they are Jews and
are not, but lie—behold, I will make them come and bow down before
your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you. Because you have
kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of
trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the
earth. I am coming soon. Hold fast what you have, so that no one may
seize your crown. The one who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the
temple of my God. Never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him
the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new
Jerusalem, which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own
new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.’

Outdoor Adventures
All Outdoor Adventure trips are open to family and friends. A great
opportunity to invite non-Christians to a non-threatening church
sponsored event!
Dungeness Spit Kayaking-Hiking-Camping Trip - Friday-Sunday, June
14-16th,
We camp at Dungeness Recreation area near Sequim, Washington on

6. Friday and Saturday nights (we have some camping equipment for
newbies). On Saturday, half our group kayaks to the lighthouse at the
end of the spit while the other half hikes out (about 5 miles). Then we
switch off and the other half kayaks back while the kayakers hike back -
a full body work out in a beautiful location. Sunday we break
camp and have an outdoor worship service overlooking the Strait of Juan
de Fuca.
Afterwards for those interested, we will go see the animals at the
Olympic Game Farm. Warning, this is no zoo. You really get up close and
personal with buffaloes and other impressive animals (like Grizzly
Bears!). Then it’s back home on the ferry.
Cost: $20 per person (includes 2 nights camping and use of the kayaks),
plus ferry fees. Olympic game farm charges $11 per adult. This is a very
popular trip so sign up soon in the narthex. Unfortunately because of the
cost involved, we are asking people to put down a $10 deposit to reserve
your spot.
If you have questions on any of these events, please contact Bob or
Sandy Clemence at 425-486-0762.
