  Weekly News fromWCUMC-6/09/2013 Sharing the transforming love of Jesus, across the street and around the world. Sermon Series- A Heart Exam for the Church - Christ’s Message to the Seven Churches (Revelation 1-3) "Lukewarm Faith" Revelation 3:14-22 To the Church in Laodicea “And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

  In this message,Jesus Christ reveals four things that Church at Laodicea had lost: 1. Their passion - They were lukewarm in their relationship with Christ 2. Their values - They trusted in and valued "worldly materials" and saw themselves as self-dependent and self-sufficient. They lived as if they didn't need God. 3. Their vision - They had taken their eyes off of Jesus and looked only to the world and themselves. They could not see themselves as they really were. 4. Their "spiritual clothing" - they were covered with the sin and self-centeredness of this world and had lost the "white clothing" of god's righteousness and grace. Jesus explains the path to revival is through correction and discipline. He admonishes them to change their hearts and lives and accept Christ's invitation. Don't' lock Christ out of your life! If you do, you will be imprisoned in a life of sin and separated from God.
