Revelation Lesson 12 To the Church at Laodicea
Revelation 3:14-21 is the text for this sermon entitled, "Laodicea, the Lukewarm Church."
From this passage, we learn that we should be self-aware as a church and ask the hard question as to whether or not we are lukewarm.This is the 7th and last of the letters to churches in Asia Minor that are included in Revelation. This collection has a collections of commendations and condemnations. There are also several commands, and all of these items are messages to the universal church of the Lord. Curtis goes over these lists and makes application.
In the end, Jesus counsels the Laodiceans to "buy refined gold" by learning from the martyrs tried with fire. They should wear white clothing by practicing purity and following the Lord's commands. And they need to put eye salve on their eyes, because they are seeing themselves as rich and righteous...but that's not what God is seeing.
