    The Church Of Laodecia: Death By Contentment (Revelation 3:14-22)

     | 352 views

    The last of the seven churches listed in Revelation 2-3 had the reputation of being the church that made Jesus sick due to its religious indifference. Heed the lesson.

    The downward slide that started in Ephesus with the loss of their “First Love” culminated with the total apostasy found in the last church mentioned in Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, the church located in the city of Laodecia. The city had been founded in 253 B.C. by Antiochus II and named after ...read more

     | 3,657 views

    Becoming a tepid or lukewarm church doesn’t take any effort at all … none. All we have to do is sit in the pews, sing the same old hymns, hear the same old sermons over and over again, and eventually you’ll end up with a tepid church full of lukewarm Christians.

    The sun showed them no mercy. Directly overhead, it blazed and beat down on them. They were tired and hungry and very thirsty, so the sight of a well … even a Samaritan well … was a more-than-welcome sight. Jesus and the Disciples didn’t have a jar or a bucket with them, so they had no way to ...read more

    Flies don’t land on a hot stove. A cold church is a dead church, but a hot church is alive.

    What does it mean to be a Church of Casual Christianity? How does a church become casual? Is it speaking of the church building or the church body? Or does it refer to the church members, the individual Christians? Look at the churches depicted in Revelation 2 & 3. • Ephesus – Revelation ...read more

    Lukewarmness is like a dud bomb. Accomplishes not a thing. Jesus Christ prefers us to be passionately against God or, much better, passionately for God. And He disciplines us because He loves us so very much. Thanks to William Barclay's insights which are reflected throughout this message.

    November 17 Sermon - The Churches of Revelation - Laodicea So we have come to the end of our look at the churches of Revelation, today being the last day.
