Show Notes

The church in Philadelphia was a small church. They didn’t possess inordinate size or powerful influence in cultural circles. They probably didn’t have a lot of financial resources. Jesus describes them as a church with “little power. This is not a criticism of their lack of spiritual vitality. Quite the opposite, Philadelphia is one of only 2 churches that Jesus does not offer a specific word of correction to. They were of little power in the way we often think of power...influence money, or size. In comparison with the great institutions of their world, the Philadelphia church seemed to have little power. But looks are deceiving. 

 

For those who feel small, I have a word of encouragement. We serve a big God who is able to do big things through people who sometimes feel small and overwhelmed.
