    Hot Or Not? #5 Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Aug 22, 2020
     | 3,897 views

    God wants us to allow Him to consume us — God wants our all. We need to be on fire for Him. But as it turns out, many times we are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, for Him. Being lukewarm will keep us from a relationship with God and keep us from inheriting eternal life with God.

    Introduction It’s summer. When that sun is blazing, it’s hot. That’s one reason we added meeting here in the pavilion as an additional way for worship. To get out of the heat. It’s hot. At times it’s sizzling hot. So hot that you can fry an egg on the asphalt, as my Grandpa would always ...read more

    The Laodicean Church had become complacent & apatetic about the cause of Christ because its members were involved in the worldly activities of the affluent society in which they lived. Jesus tells them that He would not accept their luke-warm attitude.

    Revelation 3: 14-22 THE COMPLACENT CHURCH [Matthew 2:19-34] The letters to the seven churches are God’s X-rays, given so that we might examine our own lives and ministries. Judgment is going to come to this world, but it first begins at the ...read more

    Iliff and Saltillo UM Churches July 18, 2004 “The Church on the Fence--Laodicia” Rev. 3:14-22 INTRODUCTION: Of the seven churches, this is probably the one you are most familiar with.

     | 4,389 views

    What Jesus wanted more than anything was for this lukewarm church to become passionate about their relationship with God! He wanted them to live the Greatest commandment, to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.

    Dinner for Two Revelation 3:14-22 14 "To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot.

    Half-Baked

    Hosea charged Israel with being “a cake not turned” or “half-baked". They were half-hearted towards God. Like Israel, many of today’s professed believers have followed the same pattern of incomplete discipleship.

    1 Half-Baked Hosea 7:8-10 “Ephraim is a cake not turned.” — Hosea 7:8 Hosea, a prophet to the house of Israel during the reign of Jeroboam II, used several colorful admonitions to bring to Israel’s attention the state of their relationship with God. In his comparison he ...read more

    Laodicea: Dangers Of Being In The Middle Series

    Contributed by Scott Chambers on Apr 8, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,728 views

    This is the seventh message in this series that looks at the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation. This message examines the letter to the church at Laodicea and the dangers of always seeking the middle ground.

    In Luke 18:17 Jesus says, “I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” This refers to the fact that God desires us to have child-like attitudes of trust in Him. An attitude that shows our desire to trust Him even we ...read more

    The Nourishment You Need

    This is a sermon that focuses primarily on Amos 8, looking at how a deficiency of the Word of God plays out in our lives individually and as a culture.

    Amos has always seemed to me like a man I could enjoy being around. He was plain spoken, and to the point. He was the kind of guy who appreciated hard work. Amos was a shepherd. He didn’t shepherd those pretty, fluffy white sheep. Based on the word used, he worked with a really ugly, ...read more

    Praise the Lord this morning, cherished family of faith! It's such a joy to stand before you today, not as a stranger, but as a fellow traveler on this road of faith, a road that is often winding, often challenging, a lot of times hilly leading to valleys of trials, but always leading us closer ...read more

    Hope In The Last Days Series

    People don’t wear parachutes because they are comfortable, they wear them for security. So many Christians today have ditched their parachute because it didn’t bring them happiness on the flight of life. God is not near as interested in pacifying or pleas

    So much of what we call hope is temporary. It is fleeting. At most, it lasts in this life only. Paul said (1 Cor. 15:19) that if Christ brings a temporary hope only, we are the most miserable of men on the planet. I would agree. Most people don’t wear parachutes because they are ...read more

    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.
