About this listen

This sermon focuses on Jesus's message to the church in Laodicea from Revelation 3:14-22, addressing the danger of spiritual lukewarmness. Pastor Tim explains that our spiritual temperature reveals our spiritual thirst, and that indifference leaves the church powerless and ineffective. Using historical context about Laodicea's location between hot springs (Hierapolis) and cold mountain streams (Colossae), the message emphasizes that God desires us to be either spiritually hot (bringing healing and comfort) or cold (bringing refreshment and encouragement) rather than lukewarm and useless.

The sermon challenges believers to examine their hearts and spiritual temperature, warning against compartmentalizing faith and calling for authentic Christianity that actively serves others. Despite our tendency to drift into lukewarmness, the encouraging truth is that Jesus remains near, standing at the door and knocking, ready to restore our relationship with Him when we open our hearts.
