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..

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
