Revelation 3:14-22

May 15, 2022    Bruce Gordon

In this impactful sermon, Pastor Bruce Gordon examines Revelation 3:14-22, focusing on the sobering message to the church at Laodicea. Known as the "Lukewarm Church," Laodicea serves as a cautionary tale of complacency and spiritual self-sufficiency that disconnects believers from a truly vibrant relationship with God. Pastor Gordon shares the historical and cultural context of Laodicea to reveal how its material wealth and self-reliance can parallel modern-day temptations that lead to spiritual stagnation.


With heartfelt urgency, Pastor Gordon calls for an awakening, urging believers to move beyond surface-level faith and embrace a deep, authentic commitment to God. By drawing attention to the dire consequences of lukewarmness, he challenges the congregation to evaluate whether Christ is at the center of their church and personal lives. Encouraging a return to a dependency on God's strength and a passionate pursuit of holiness, Pastor Gordon exhorts Christians to either be fervently hot in their faith or aware of their coldness, lest they remain in the dangerous middle ground of indifference.
