Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Mike. I'm Bryce and today we're going to be

covering more of the Book of Revelation. If you're just now joining us for the

first time we've done others so you want to go back and

check those we're going to be covering revelation three today with continuation of

the churches revelation three verse one is Sardis so Bryce what's going on so

let's remind everyone there's kind of a pattern here. Remember, the book of revelation is a testimony, and these letters to the churches symbolize messages to all of us in all dispensations.

In every single letter, the Lord, well, I know there's some variance,

sometimes he doesn't do one, but in most of the letters,

A, he tells us something that we need to remember about himself,

something that's crucial, something that we need to remember about himself, something that's crucial, something

that we need to hold on to throughout our lives, especially when trial and challenges come.

Number two, he points out some of the good things they're doing that we all need to do. Number three, he points

out something that they need to correct, some behavior they need to change, and if they do that

and overcome, he gives them a blessing. Here's what's going to happen. And every time that blessing

is pointing to something that we're going to see in revelation, in the vision. And so it kind of

it's unpacking some of these images to say, if you overcome, you can eat from the tree of life.

Well, the tree of life's going to make an appearance in the vision.
