The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly..Week 6: “Philadelphia: Patient Endurance”

Hey everyone here is the text for this week. We only have one more week of discussion for this series, and then everyone will be throwing a party (week of July 4th) to invite their friends, families, or co-workers and then we will come back with a new discussion series! Hope your weeks and days find you well, and that the road rise up to meet you and God bless you to be a blessing this week!

Rev. 3:7-13

7″To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. 11I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. 13He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

We had a great discussion about Philadelphia. the point is so simple…do good things and you will be rewarded in Heaven…do bad things and you will suffer great trials. Whatever door he opens, cannot be shut and whatever door he shuts cannot be opened. Amen!

One more thing…is Philadelphia, PA named after this text’s Philadelphia?
