In a town largely forgotten by the world but never by God, we are reminded that spiritual significance is not measured by fame, success, or recognition, but by faithfulness to Christ. Paul’s words to a small, struggling congregation echo across the centuries: when Jesus is not everything, He becomes nothing at all. Even in moments of obscurity, doubt, or weariness, God is at work—sustaining, shaping, and strengthening hearts that cling to Him.

The believers in this quiet city demonstrated that love, faith, and hope are never wasted, even when unseen by the world. Their steadfastness invites us to examine our own walk: are we living with a faith that endures, a love that sacrifices, and a hope firmly anchored in heaven? Our true worth is not determined by relevance or accolades, but by our relationship with the One who has conquered sin and death.

This message challenges us to consider what occupies the center of our hearts. Are our ambitions, fears, or comforts holding space meant for Christ alone? The call is clear: let Him be all. When Christ fills us, there is no room for anything else, and every part of life aligns with His purpose. How fully is He reigning in your heart today? Are you willing to let Him be everything, leaving nothing outside His domain?
