Jesus had a special message to each of the seven churches in Asia Minor. He usually commended each church for something good, and had a word of correction for something that needed to change. However, in the letter to the church in Philadelphia, Jesus didn't condemn or correct anything. He described this church as having "a little strength," and commended them for their faithfulness. Jesus may have described them this way because of some weakness in the church, but it is likely they were small in number and limited in their resources. What can we learn from the "small church?"
