In this message from Revelation 3:16–20, Toby Smith challenges us to reconsider what it really means to be “lukewarm.” Rather than addressing a lack of passion or emotion, Jesus was confronting a deeper issue—self-reliance that slowly disconnects us from the source of true spiritual life.

Through the historical context of Laodicea and the gracious invitation of Christ, we are reminded that lukewarm faith is not weak faith, but independent faith. This message speaks directly to weary, struggling believers who may feel disqualified or distant from God. Jesus is not pushing us away in correction—He is knocking, inviting us back into relationship. As we stay near the source, He is faithful to refresh what has grown cold, strengthen what feels weak, and reignite hearts that are ready to respond.
