Episode 59: Christ desires you to OVERCOME, are you? (Part 7 - Laodicea)

In this series on OVERCOMING we will be doing a few episodes looking at Jesus' final words to his church.  His desire is for the church to overcome or to conquer.  Now some may think it doesn't really matter in the end, however, Jesus has some stern warnings to some of these churches if they do not overcome or fix the current problem that he sees.  The consequences of not fixing the problem and overcoming are eternal consequences as we will find out as we at each church.

Today we will be looking at the church of Laodicea.  This church was had grown complacent.  Unlike Sardis, who was still at least attempting to do good but were doing their works and not being led by the Holy Spirit; Laodicea was doing nothing.  Yet this church thought they were rich.  But God requires us to not only be freed and cleansed from all sin, but also being led by His Spirit to do His will.  Laodicea was complacent thinking they had already received their crown.  God being merciful and loving is giving this church another change to repent so that she can overcome and receive the eternal reward..
