One out of every seven Christians around the globe today suffers intense persecution. It is as Paul warned Timothy: “In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted” (2 Timothy 3:12). Given the trials that are sure to come, how can we walk boldly in our Christian faith? Guiding you through in this 8-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef examines Jesus’ call to all believers through His letters to seven first-century churches to reclaim our first love. With our eyes set on Christ, we’ll be strengthened to follow Him faithfully today and forever.

In Lost Its Vision, Dr. Michael Youssef proclaims Christ’s encouraging words to the faithful church in Philadelphia—believers with little strength, yet great faith. Preaching from Revelation 3, Dr. Youssef reveals Jesus’ urgent call to walk through open doors while they remain. These doors are Gospel opportunities, not guaranteed forever. The glorified Christ, holding the keys of David, alone opens and shuts such doors—and His patience with spiritual laziness will soon end. To those who obey, Jesus promises eternal security, divine protection, and a new name written in Heaven. In a world growing hostile to Truth, now is the time to reject fear, stand firm, and proclaim Christ with boldness.
