Lukewarm Faith & the Illusion of Independence | The Church in Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22)

“We’re good. We don’t need anything.”
That was the attitude of the church in Laodicea—comfortable, wealthy, self-sufficient… and completely unaware of their spiritual poverty.

In this final week of our 7 Churches of Revelation series, Pastor Steven Bruce walks through Revelation 3:14–22 and uncovers Jesus’ sobering words to a lukewarm church.

Together we explore:

🔥 Why Jesus says He’ll “spit out” lukewarm faith
💧 Cold water that refreshes — hot water that heals — and why Laodicea had neither
💰 How blessings can blind us to our need for Jesus
🚪 What it means that Jesus stands outside knocking
🍽️ Why Jesus wants to share a meal with us (and how this ties beautifully into communion)
💔 How comfort, success, and self-reliance create an illusion of independence from God

This message exposes the subtle ways our hearts drift toward self-sufficiency—and points us back to the Savior who lovingly calls us to return.

Key Questions:
• Has your affluence created an illusion of independence from God?
• Has comfort made you spiritually complacent?
• Has your blessing blinded you to how much you still need Jesus?
• What door of your life is Jesus knocking on today?
