Spiritual Vitality
Revelation 3:1-6

Before answering these questions, take some time to read the passage from the sermon together or on your own.
What did this sermon tell us about God?
What did this sermon tell us about us as people?
What did you hear in this sermon that applied the most to your own life?
Jesus tells Sardis, “You have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead.” In what ways can Christians or churches appear spiritually healthy outwardly while slowly drifting inwardly? What are some signs that someone is spiritually awake versus spiritually familiar?
We talked about “the threat of the mundane” — how spiritual drift often happens not in crisis, but in ordinary routines. Where are you most tempted to spiritually coast in everyday life? What might it look like for you to “wake up” and pay attention to Jesus?
Jesus tells Sardis to “strengthen what remains.” What is one “flicker” in your relationship with Jesus that still feels alive right now (prayer, Scripture, worship, serving, repentance, community, etc.)? How could you intentionally feed that ember?
