Title: Laodicea- A Love That Won’t Let Go!

Series: Revelation  

Text: Revelation 3:14-22

Main Idea: God’s LOVE never stops coming -so don’t give up!   

1. In Jesus, all of God’s Promises are ‘Yes’ to us! (V.14)

• Jesus is…
  • The Amen of God (2 Corinthians 1:20)
  • The Faithful and True Witness (John 14:6)
  • The Beginning of God’s Creation (Colossians 1:15-23)

1. Jesus Gets to the Heart of the Problem (V.15-17)

• Recognizing the Symptoms
  • How they were living
    • An unhealthy church cannot represent a healthy Gospel.
  • What they were believing
    • Rich and prosperous- in need of nothing, not even Jesus!
  • Identifying the Issue(s)
    • (Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 11:12-15)
      • Wretched, pitiable, poor, blind and naked.

III. Jesus Loves Us Too Much to Let Us Walk Away (Vv.18-22)

• Laodicea Offers                       Jesus Offers
  • Temporary Gold Eternal Gold
  • Soft, Black Wool White Garment
  • Short Term Relief Eternal Healing
• Because of His Love we can be zealous, a part of His family and more than a conqueror!

Going deeper questions (SMall Group)

• What stood out to you about this message and why?
• Why is it important to understand and remember who Jesus is? How important is it to know Him from the Bible?
• In what areas of your own life / heart do you still control rather than giving to Jesus? What are you doing to let go?

Can we ever go too far- arrive at a place God’s love will not reach?  How does this affect your walk with Jesus today?
