Pipes & Faucets: The Church at Laodicea

Pipes & Faucets: The Church at Laodicea

Passage: Revelation 3:14-22

Speaker: Dr. Steven Laufer

Series: Interior Design

Category: Sunday Sermons

Keywords: apathy, complacency, revival, rejuvenation

Apathy and complacency stand in stark contrast to ministry and spiritual fervor in the letter to the Laodicean church. Perhaps some opportunities similar to the one presented to the church at Philadelphia had also been presented to this church, but they had no interest in rising to meet the challenge. In fact, they appear to have had no interest in doing anything other than looking out for their own personal pursuits. And in a similar vein as to the letter to the church in Sardis, this letter reminds its readers, both then and now, that a “church” that cares nothing for the work of God in the world, and only concerns itself with its own personal concerns, is really not a church of Christ Jesus at all.
