Why Your Faith Feels Lukewarm and How to Wake It Up

Show by illuminate CHURCH
Lukewarm is a strange word to fear until you read what Jesus says about it. In Revelation 3 he writes to the last three of the seven churches, and the picture he paints is uncomfortably familiar. Sardis had a reputation for being alive but was dead, a church with everything in the show window and nothing in stock. Laodicea was wealthy, self-sufficient, and certain it needed nothing, while Jesus called it wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked (Revelation 3:17). And Philadelphia, the smallest and weakest of the three, is the one he commends most, because little strength in the hands of God still moves the world. The thread running through all three is one word: steadfastness, the daily decision to keep the door to Jesus open rather than opening it in crisis and closing it again in comfort. This message works through the five commands Jesus gives in Revelation 3:2-3, wake up, strengthen what remains, remember, hold fast, repent, along with the promise in Revelation 3:10 about being kept from the hour of trial, and the invitation in Revelation 3:20 where Jesus stands at a door with the handle on the inside. If your faith feels like it has been drifting, or you look fine on the outside and feel empty on the inside, start here.
