Episode: Sardis: The Dead Church
Description: WE MOVE to the fifth of the seven churches of Asia named in Revelation, Sardis. We explain how Jesus used that city’s infamous tendency to be overrun by enemies even though it was built with nearly impregnable natural defenses, and the city’s worship of the goddess Artemis, to chastise the church for being dead despite its reputation for being alive.
