Revelation 3:14-21

Laodicea NO WATER!
• A rich city strategically located
• 3 highways converged
• Center of Banking
• Known for Black Wool and effective eye
ointment
• With large shopping markets
The Church in Laodicea
• Jesus described the Church as
“Lukewarm”
• He knew their deeds
• Jesus is disappointed – He wants
to throw up.
The Church at Quezon Avenue
• We are not a church of bad people
• We are not a church of killers,
drunkards and criminals
• We are a Christian Church
What is the Issue?
•The issue is Moral and
Spiritual
•Lost stock of God’s Purpose
– John 6:39-40
• Their passion to see the lost saved has
disappeared…
• Their earnestness to be all that God wanted
them to be has vanished…
• Christians have no glow of Christ upon their
face…They are sitters on the bench…
• They are not supportive of the vision that
Christ has given them…they have no
goals left in their walk with God!
• They no longer are making an impact
upon their city…
God wants us to be on Fire for Him!
•Lethargic
•Knowledge of God is not Fire
for God
•Predictability
Why?
•Self Dependence
•Lack of Thanksgiving
•Wrong Priorities
•Poor, blind and naked
•I DO NOT WANT TO BE
PART OF A CHURCH
THAT MAKES GOD
VOMIT!
•Ask forgiveness…
• How about a church that just goes through the
motions. They gather to worship and mindlessly go
through the motions. There is no heart, no zeal, no
focus in their worship. When they sing, it’s just blah!
When they pray, study, and remember our Savior at
the Lord’s Table, their minds simply wander. They
don’t worry about spreading the gospel, visiting the
sick, carrying for the those in need – they don’t do
anything for Christ!
