Verse: Revelation 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. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you can 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. 9 I 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. 10 Since 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. 11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 Him 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, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on him my new name. 13 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

Title: Keep the faith!
Message: Jesus will return and he promised salvation to all whose faith in Him has been consistently demonstrated.
Promise to Claim: For those who have honored Him and never denied Him, He will honor and never deny. He promised to return the favor from keeping them protected as those who did otherwise will experience great suffering.
Command to Obey: Keep Jesus' word and don't deny His name. Hold on to His promises and you will be saved. Listen to what the spirit says.
Warning to Heed: Jesus will dishonor those who did the same. Salvation won't be extended to those who gave up their faith in the Savior.
Application: Jesus promised to honor me; thus, I'll never dishonor him. I have declared Him my Lord and savior and will always do such wherever I go.
