    What is the health of the spiritual fire within you?

    When the fire dies Job 41:21 1/5/09 His breath kindles coals, And a flame goes out of his mouth. During your life’s journey, you might experience your spiritual fire going out.

    Zombie Christianity

    A church that is spiritually dead can still hold services, sing hymns, offer prayers, deliver sermons, and do works of ministry – they can go through the motions of “doing church” but they will never be the church without being alive in God’s Holy Spirit!

    INTRODUCTION Modern Day Scene: A paramedic arrives on an accident scene with what seems like a lifeless body; no pulse, no breath – CPR begins and instead of taking the body to the morgue, they go to the ER. Jesus has pronounced the church at Sardis as dead. Yet there is hope. A church that is ...read more

    Eutychus

    Poor brother Eutychus! He slept himself out of the church. Why did he fall asleep? What’s causing most Christians to become drowsy today?

    Eutychus There is no doubt in my mind that something catastrophic is about to happen. If you have been watching the news or listening to it then you ought to know and feel the same thing. The Dallas Morning News read that they have completed the mapping of the human DNA code. Scientists now say ...read more

    We are never farther from Jesus than when we are satisfied with ourselves, and we are never closer to him than when we have nothing and no one else to rely on

    All of you are familiar, I’m sure, h the Hans Christian Andersen story about the Emperor’s new clothes. It begins, “Many, many years ago lived an emperor, who thought so much of new clothes that he spent all his money in order to obtain them; his only ambition was to be always ...read more

    You Can't Have It Both Ways

    based on 8 ratings
     | 16,028 views

    The attitude of many "Christians" is that they want the blessings of Christ but yet they want to be able to indulge in all the worldly pleasures too. They think having the best of both worlds is the perfect, complete package; a great life. Let’s see what’

    YOU CAN’T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS James 4:1-12 INTRODUCTION: There’s a Van Halen song called, “Best of Both Worlds”. Some of the lyrics are, “I want the best of both worlds, and honey I know what it's worth; If we could have the best of both worlds, a little bit of heaven ...read more

    Victims Of Unrisen Expectations

     | 4,388 views

    We fail to experience a vital faith because we do not expect anything new, we operate out of preconceived notions, or we wait for authority figures to validate us.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, March 5, 1989 Anyone who works in an office or who has had to do either writing or typing knows that you do not proofread your own work. You just do not proofread your own work. Why not? Because the tendency is to see what we want to see, and what we ...read more

    The Double Minded Christian

    Contributed by Wilson Oshorakpor on Jul 12, 2022
     | 6,377 views

    A double minded Christian is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world. They live more by sight and less by faith. They are neither hot or cold, just lukewarm.

    TEXT: James 1:5-8 (NLT) "If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,722 views

    This is part 21 of an on-going sermon series from the Gospel of John. In this sermon we contrast true, saving faith, with false faith that cannot save.

    The Eventual Exposing of False Faith (John pt. 21) Text: John 6:28-68 Ok, so we’re in the Gospel of John, and we have a big chunk of text this morning, so I’m going to just get right in to it… Let’s take our Bibles, and open them up to John chapter 6 (READ TEXT). Now basically, what’s happening ...read more

    The Danger Of Drifting: A Warning Against Neglecting So Great Salvation

    Contributed by Paul Dayao on Sep 12, 2025
     | 85 views

    This sermon delivers a critical warning that spiritual ruin often comes not from a dramatic shipwreck, but from the slow, silent drift caused by neglecting our "so great salvation."

    Introduction: The Unseen Current Good evening, my brothers and sisters. Imagine a boat tied securely to a dock in a quiet harbor. For that boat, the most obvious danger is a violent storm—a typhoon with crashing waves and howling winds that could smash it to pieces. But there is another danger, one ...read more

     | 2,720 views

    Churches also can look good on the outside, but when you “taste” what they're doing, you find it's only a facade. That was the case with the church in Laodicea.

    How many Coca-Cola drinkers do we have here today? How many Pepsi drinkers? How many of you like Dr Pepper? How many of you like Mr Pibb? Have you ever been in a restaurant and ordered a Dr Pepper and they say they don't sell Dr Pepper but they have Mr Pibb and try to pass it off as the same ...read more

     | 13,406 views

    In Revelation 3:14-22, Jesus challenges the Laodicean Church to be hot or be cold, not lukewarm. He speaks those same words to us today

    REVELATION 2012: #3 – BE HOT OR BE COLD! REVIEW: Over the past couple of weeks, we have been studying the Book of Revelation. • In chapter one, we saw John in exile on Patmos receive a vision of Jesus. • In chapters 2-3, we saw the first six letters that Jesus wrote to seven ...read more

     | 5,881 views

    We as God’s community will only know full satisfaction when our wealth is in Christ, when our vision is His vision, when our self-concept is bound up in our identity in Christ, and when our clothing is His righteousness.

    Revelation 3 v. 14 To the angel of the church of Laodicea write; These things says the Amen (True), the witness (martyr), the faithful and true, the overarching one of the creation of God. v. 15 I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot, I wish you were either cold or hot. v. 16 ...read more

    Laodicea: Knock, Knock! Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Feb 14, 2021
     | 4,264 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
