Laodicea

Jul 7, 2013    Pastor Brad Snyder    Revelation 3:14-22

The church in Laodicea was wealthy, growing, and doing all of the things they were supposed to be doing, but Jesus said that their faith was nauseating, causing Him to want to vomit them out of His mouth. Their faith was lukewarm. They didn't think that they needed Jesus. They weren't zealous for Jesus. They didn't pursue Jesus. It's far too easy to see the Gospel as a nice add-on to make us a little more awesome than we already are, but Jesus' message is that we are poor, blind, and needy. We need Jesus desperately. On our best days and our worst days, we need Jesus and He stands ready to love us and provide for us with Himself.
