Andrew SercombeHOST
But I wanna just skip ahead to the final words of Paul here in this letter as he signs off.
Andrew SercombeHOST
He says this, after this letter has been read to you, see that it is also read in the church of the Laodiceans and that you in turn read the letter from Laodicea.
Andrew SercombeHOST
Tell Archippus, see to it that you complete the ministry you have received in the Lord.
Andrew SercombeHOST
I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand.
Andrew SercombeHOST
Don't get sidetracked.
Andrew SercombeHOST
Do the job that God has called you and empowered you to do.
Andrew SercombeHOST
But there's another verse here, which some of you may have pricked, where it's Laodicea.
Andrew SercombeHOST
Oh, I've heard that before.
Daniel VincentHOST
It has a sanctifying effect on us still.
Daniel VincentHOST
That is where our faith rests, and it reminds us of where we need to return when we wander, as the Laodicean church did.
Daniel VincentHOST
So what Christ is doing here is he's reminding the Laodicean church of his, of the gospel, really.
Daniel VincentHOST
"Look to me.
Daniel VincentHOST
Look to me.
Bill VanderbushHOST
Athanasius included it.
Bill VanderbushHOST
The councils of Laodicea and Hippo and Carthage listed it along with the other epistles.
Bill VanderbushHOST
It's in the Catholic Orthodox and Protestant canons.
Bill VanderbushHOST
So that is settled reception.
Michael YoussefHOST
Did God bless you with time? Where are you spending it? Where are you spending it? Has God blessed you with influence? How are you using it? Did God bless you with wealth? Where are you investing it? On self or on the kingdom of God? Be faithful with what you have is Jesus' message to the church in Philadelphia.
Michael YoussefHOST
Finally, the seventh message is the message, the letter to the church of Laodicea.
Michael YoussefHOST
As I said, if my theologian friends who believe that these are periods of time and that we're living in the church of Laodicea time, that makes me weep uncontrollably.
Michael YoussefHOST
And trust me, sometimes I do.
Michael YoussefHOST
There's not a single positive word about the church of Laodicea.
Michael YoussefHOST
Condemnation, condemnation, condemnation.
Michael YoussefHOST
Why? Why? Because if there is one thing that Jesus detests, it's lukewarmness.
Michael YoussefHOST
And this, beloved, is a picture of an average, normal, respected American evangelical church.
Josh SummersHOST
So now, again, going through it, we've got John, 1 John, 1 Corinthians, 2 Timothy, and now Colossians 3.16, all wonderful, sweet 16 verses, and we're going to finish it off with Revelation 3.16.
Josh SummersHOST
This one is a little more negative than positive, but Revelation 3.16 says, "...so because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." This, of course, is one of the letters at the beginning of Revelation that goes to the church of Laodicea.
Josh SummersHOST
And I think it describes a lot of us in our natural state.
Josh SummersHOST
Like the default for most of us as Christians is to kind of be lukewarm.

TitusHOST
But the Roman s- you know, social fabric, economic, political, the economic, sociopolitical fabric of Rome and then East Rome was based on these coastal cities that provided, you know, manpower and, uh, uh, tax power and all this other kind of stuff.
TitusHOST
So when you have these cities like Ephesus and Antioch and Laodicea and Tarsus and Thessalonica getting, you know, and Alexandria getting hit over and over and over and over again with plague, you have an empire that is really barely hanging on, about to embark on an extremely long and destructive war.
DuneHOST
Yeah, and so this is when we begin the clown music because God, whatever, decides to give a schizophrenic Arab, I think Jew, a bunch of visions.
DuneHOST
And so Muhammad, we're not going to do his life because I think it's worth delving into in its own parts.

They won't accept this stuff because they want to teach it future.

See, number two, history indicates that Laodicea was destroyed by an earthquake in 66 AD.
Larry T SmithGUEST
