The church in Laodicea had everything—wealth, comfort, success—except real dependence on Jesus. Their self-sufficient, lukewarm faith pushed Jesus outside, knocking on the door of His own church. This message is a wake-up call to trade self-reliance for daily dependence on Christ and rediscover a faith that's truly alive.

Send us a textA single word from Revelation 3 lands like a thunderclap: lukewarm. We step into Laodicea's world and into our own, asking what Jesus means when He says He will “vomit” the uncommitted out of His mouth. From there, we follow the line from spiritual neutrality to diluted doctrine, examining how attempts to soften hard truths don't make the gospel kind—they make it weightless.We unpack the contrast between adiaphora—conscience matters like food, drink, and personal liberties—and a wicked indifference that dodges clear biblical lines. The conversation intensifies as we address the rising claim that annihilation is “good news.” If hell is merely nonexistence, what, exactly, did Jesus save us from? We contend that the eternal Son bore the weight of eternal judgment, and that His infinite worth reveals the gravity of sin and the necessity of repentance. Minimizing judgment doesn't magnify grace; it erases the need for it.Together with our panel, we explore why hot and cold are both useful, while lukewarm is rejected; how Laodicea's tepid water frames our usefulness; and why standing firm where Scripture is clear is an act of love, not harshness. Expect candid pushback, Scripture-driven clarity, and a call to trade comfort for conviction. If your faith has settled into safe neutrality, consider this a wake-up. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage to stand, and leave a review with your take: is annihilation compatible with the gospel?Support the showBE PROVOKED AND BE PERSUADED!

Send us a textComfort can feel like blessing until Jesus calls it poverty. We take a hard look at the church in Laodicea from Revelation 3 and the modern habits that mirror it—equating status with favor, growth with health, and noise with worship. Together we unpack why Christ calls a self-assured community wretched, poor, blind, and naked, and how His remedy—refined gold, white garments, and eye salve—redefines success as tested faith, righteousness, and spiritual sight.The conversation traces a biblical thread through James, Timothy, and First John, warning against corrosive riches, false knowledge, and the sobering reality that many who “went out from us” were never of us. We explore Matthew Henry's piercing insight that lukewarmness is more offensive than honest coldness, because it masquerades as devotion while refusing surrender. A vivid metaphor carries the point home: the body expels what harms it. So does Christ with a faith that sickens His body—faith that plays both sides and calls compromise wisdom.We also sit with practical discipleship. Being a Christian is hard, often costly, and sometimes marked by suffering. Yet the path is clear: no shortcuts, no muted truth, no backdoor into heaven—only Christ on His terms. We talk about speaking when the Spirit prompts, ministering with presence, and trusting God to use ordinary obedience as an instrument of grace. A brief exchange on Solomon and vanity sharpens the call to zealous repentance that rejects shameless worldliness and embraces worship in spirit and truth.If this resonates, share it with someone who needs a wake-up call.

Send us a textA hard warning can be a great mercy. We take a sober walk through Christ's words to the church of Laodicea and ask why lukewarm faith is so easy to adopt and so hard to detect. The picture of being “spit out” is graphic, but it clarifies what's at stake when devotion becomes performance and truth gets trimmed to avoid offense. We explore the difference between outward affiliation with Jesus and inward affection for Him, and why neutrality isn't compassion—it's concealment.Together we trace how self-sufficiency, comfort, and reputation can dull spiritual hunger. The conversation moves from Revelation to the full arc of the gospel: God's holiness, human sin, the reality of hell, and the necessity of repentance. We press into doctrines many avoid—depravity, grace, new birth by the Spirit—because people aren't spiritually sick but spiritually dead, and only Christ can make them alive. Along the way we call out trends that mimic zeal without love: church-bashing that never preaches Christ, platform-building that misleads crowds, and chameleon Christianity that blends into every room while the gospel loses its edge.We lean on a crucial hope: Christ rebukes those He loves. His sharp words are a surgeon's scalpel, meant to awaken zeal and heal what compromise has numbed. If you've settled for room-temperature religion, this is a call to trade safety for sincerity, optics for obedience, and comfort for a clear conscience before God.

Send us a textStart with the hard question most avoid: if Scripture promises everlasting life, what does it mean when it warns of everlasting condemnation? We walk straight into the tension, tracing how the Bible frames death not as a stopped heartbeat, but as separation from God's favor. Using Luke 16 as a guide, we draw a crucial line between torture (unjust suffering) and torment (just judgment), and show how the gravity of sin magnifies the glory of Christ's salvation. If the penalty is small, the Cross is small; if the penalty is eternal, the Savior's worth shines with eternal weight.From there, we turn to Laodicea and the scandal of lukewarm faith. Christ's image is visceral for a reason: compromise makes Him sick. Lukewarmness isn't loud rebellion; it's mixed devotion—truth blended with worldliness and fashionable errors about resurrection, reincarnation, or annihilation. We challenge the easy branding of “Bible-believing church,” arguing that interpretation, not marketing, separates health from harm. Hermeneutics becomes the hinge: how we read Scripture determines how we live by it, especially on doctrines with eternal stakes like hell, salvation, and repentance.We also get practical and pastoral. A listener asks how to help people in deep despair without soft-pedaling the gospel. Our answer: God sends specific people to your path because your voice can carry His grace. Speak the unvarnished truth with the temperament He gave you, and trust results to Him. Seeds of hard truth often bloom years later. Finally, we parse the visible and invisible church to explain why Scripture can rebuke “churches” that include both wheat and tares. Revelation 3:19–20 is not a sales pitch to outsiders; it's a summons to professing believers to repent, be zealous, and stop living in the gray.If this conversation sharpened your convictions, share it with a friend, leave a review, and subscribe so you never miss an episode.

Revelation 3:14–16 (ESV) “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spit you out of my mouth.'” In today's Daily Devotions with Pastor David Sumrall, we hear Jesus' stern warning to the church at Laodicea. He says that being lukewarm, neither cold nor hot, is more dangerous than being cold or hot. Spiritual complacency, half-hearted faith, and indecisive living are what He wants to spit out. This message calls us to examine our hearts. Instead of drifting quietly in comfort, let's stay close to the flame—God Himself—so our faith remains alive and fervent. Lukewarm commitment allows spiritual decay; staying rooted in God keeps us “hot” for Him. Let today be a challenge to ditch spiritual complacency and live with passion, purpose, and wholehearted devotion. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

The Dangers of Lukewarm FaithScripture: Revelation 3:16, “So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”In Revelation 3, Jesus spoke to the church of Laodicea. They weren't rebellious. They weren't wicked. They weren't enemies of God. They were simply… comfortable. Not cold toward God… but not burning for Him either. They were stuck in the middle.Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You.

Can someone claim to be born again while habitually practicing sin? According to several extremely clear (And neglected!) passages of Scripture, the answer is a resounding NO. When God's seed—His very nature—dwells within us through the Holy Spirit, we cannot continue to live in perpetual, intentional sin. This isn't about perfection or never stumbling, but about the fundamental trajectory of our lives. Are we characterized by righteousness or by ongoing rebellion? The lists in these passages—sexual immorality, idolatry, drunkenness, greed, reviling—aren't meant to condemn us but to wake us up from a coma of deception. They function like spiritual pain receptors, alerting us to danger so we can change course. We are called to examine ourselves honestly: do we possess mere intellectual agreement with gospel facts, or has Jesus truly taken residence in our hearts, producing a new nature that cannot coexist with habitual sin? Eternity for so many professing Christians hangs in the balance and how they respond to these truths that lukewarm leaders avoid.

Are you holding back a piece of your heart from God? Pastor CeCe Love returns with a powerful message that challenges the comfort of partial commitment. Drawing from Deuteronomy 6, Revelation 3, and Jesus' own words, she argues that "all in" isn't extreme—it's the only response worthy of a God who gave everything for us. In this awakening episode, you'll discover why: Partial love can be a form of betrayal. Lukewarm faith is inherently dangerous. True discipleship means doing the Father's will. Prepare to examine your allegiance and be encouraged to live a life of total surrender that blesses generations to come. If you're ready to follow Jesus with your whole heart, this message is for you.   Scripture references: Deuteronomy 6:5-15 Revelation 3:15-16 Matthew 12:30 James 4:17 Jeremiah 29:11 Deuteronomy 30:6   ABOUT US At Nashville Life Church, our vision is dedicated to following Jesus & building leaders.

2025-11-09 - Are You Lukewarm？ ⧸⧸ Revelation 3_14-22 [RT2qq6jybb8] by Salvador Flores III

If you would like additional information, books, or if you would like to make a love donation; please visit us at https://www.walkinginpower.orgRevelation, chapter 4, marks a critical chronological shift in the book of Revelation, moving the narrative from "the things which are" (the messages to the seven churches in Chapters 2 and 3) to "the things which shall take place after these things." This phrase, repeated in verse 1, signifies the end of the current church age. John is given a vision of "a door standing open in heaven" and is commanded, "Come up here." This event is widely interpreted by scholars as a symbolic depiction of the Rapture of the Church. This view is supported by the fact that immediately after this chapter, the Church (a term frequently mentioned in Chapters 1-3) is conspicuously absent from the earthly events and judgments described in the subsequent chapters, only reappearing in Chapter 19 for the return of Christ.The heavenly scene in Revelation 4 immediately presents God the Father on a glorious throne, surrounded by twenty-four thrones occupied by twenty-four elders, who are clothed in white garments and wear golden crowns. The text explains that the elders are representatives of the Church, implying that the entire body of believers has been gathered into heaven. This gathering, or "snatching away," is what is commonly referred to as the Rapture, a concept that is substantiated throughout the New Testament, particularly in 1 Thessalonians 4:17, which describes believers being "caught up together... to meet the Lord in the air." The transcription emphasizes that the rapture is imminent and does not require any further prophecy to be fulfilled, contrasting with the Second Coming of Christ, which has specific preconditions.

As we pull out of the mailbag, Jesus' final letter to the seven churches, we find Him calling out a church that had grown so self-sufficient they no longer depended on heaven's resources—leaving them distastefully lukewarm to Jesus. His words still echo today: Have we become lukewarm, too? To support this ministry, visit www.waynesborofm.com/give

Jesus warns us to “Watch out for false prophets.” But what would a false prophet look like today? Would they be preaching heretical sermons … or lukewarm … or just uninformed?

Jesus confronts the church in Laodicea for being lukewarm, which means spiritually useless because of their pride and self-sufficiency. In this message, we see how Jesus offers an invitation to restore His people, aligning their purpose with God's Kingdom.

Have you ever felt like your passion for God isn't what it used to be? In this episode, we talk about what it really means to be lukewarm , not cold, not hot, just comfortably in between. We'll unpack three revealing signs that show when a believer's heart has grown distant from God, and how to reignite that passion for Christ again!

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss Carney's post-budget release and why it received a lukewarm reception from business and industry groups. They argue that the budget contains too many scattered priorities rather than bold, signature initiatives, and explore whether the budget's technocratic, state-centric approach to economic development can deliver on its promises. They also discuss the budget's immediate political implications—including efforts to entice Conservative MPs to cross the floor.   The Hub is Canada's fastest growing independent digital news outlet.   Subscribe to The Hub's podcast feed to get our best content when you are on the go:  https://tinyurl.com/3a7zpd7e (Apple) https://tinyurl.com/y8akmfn7 (Spotify)  Want more Hub?

Sunday morning sermons from Vertical Church St.Paul

Profile of the Lukewarm!

Jesus refuses to be a guest in the heart He died to govern.In this message from Revelation 3, Jesus calls the church out of comfort and into wholehearted surrender. It's time to open the door, rekindle the flame, and let Jesus take His rightful place.

In this powerful episode, Eric Stephens welcomes back returning guest Taylor Johnson for an honest conversation about moving from a lukewarm faith to a bold, all-in relationship with Jesus.Taylor shares her personal journey of breaking free from self-preservation, fear of rejection, and spiritual complacency to walk confidently in her God-given purpose. Together, she and Eric discuss what it means to truly trust God, live out the Word, and keep your fire burning through daily surrender and obedience.From reflections on Revelation 3 to stories of faith, humility, and revival, this episode will challenge and encourage every believer to go deeper, let go of idols, and live a life fully aligned with Christ.

In this powerful sermon, Pastor Jamey Bridges challenges the modern church with a sobering message from Revelation 3 about spiritual complacency. Through the lens of the ancient Laodicean church—wealthy but spiritually lukewarm—he masterfully connects their struggle to today's American Christianity. Drawing on the vivid imagery of lukewarm water in Laodicea, Pastor Jamey warns against the dangerous comfort zone where believers claim to love Jesus while living like the world. Yet his message pivots to hope, emphasizing Jesus' invitation to spiritual renewal through repentance. With compelling insights about the enemy's schemes of distraction, deception, and division, he reminds us that we don't fight for victory but from victory through Christ. The sermon culminates in a stirring call to action—to move beyond comfortable Christianity, surrender fully to God's plan, and share our testimonies boldly, knowing we are overcomers through the blood of the Lamb.Thanks for listening!

Would that you were either cold or hot! 16 So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. 17 For you say, “I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing,” not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. 19 Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. 20 Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. 21 The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.'” For more information about Redeemer Church Lubbock visit our website at redeemerlubbock.org.
