The Lukewarm Church: Choosing Christ Over Self-Ruled Religion – Revelation 3:14-16
Sunday, November 23, 2025
This sermon examines Jesus’ warning to the church of Laodicea, exposing the tragedy of a self-governed, comfort-driven Christianity that excludes the authority of God’s Spirit and Word. The pastor explains that Laodicea symbolizes a last-days church where the people rule rather than Christ, echoing the first rebellion in Eden when mankind sought to elevate self above the Creator. The message calls believers to reject spiritual complacency, embrace true repentance, and surrender fully to the lordship of Jesus before He returns to judge a lukewarm world that has lost its fear of God.
