His Perfect Love on Oneplace.com

What’s your spiritual temperature like these days? All this week on His Perfect Love we’re considering the church of Laodecia. No praise is given by Jesus to this church, but rather they’re given a total rebuke for being lukewarm in their relationship to God. Could the same be said of you and many Americans today? We’ll take our spiritual temperature to see if this resembles us. We’re in Revelation 3:14.

Those of you coffee lovers, might prefer your coffee hot, or cold. But if someone hands you a lukewarm cup of coffee… well you’re probably gonna send it back! That’s just not acceptable is it? Today we’ll begin a look at the last of the seven letters to the churches in Revelation, this one to the church in Laodicea. The Laodiceans had several problems, but the biggest was their “lukewarm” temperature.

"Well done good and faithful servant," Christians long to hear those words from the Lord! And today on His Perfect Love we’ll hear of some believers who were commended by Jesus for their faithfulness. You’ll find it in Revelation chapter three. But these people needed to be encouraged as well, and the Lord would deliver. Maybe that’s just what you need today?

What does a healthy church look like? Maybe in your mind, you associate that with how many people attend on any given weekend, or the size of the building. But Jesus looks at it far differently. Today we’ll continue our study of the Lord’s letter to the church of Philadelphia, in Revelation chapter three verses seven through thirteen. This letter is full of good news and encouragement to a body of believers who were faithful.

They received such a letter, and we’ll look at that today on the broadcast, so we too can please the Lord with our lives.

If the Lord were to write a letter to you, what do you suppose He would say? Would He describe your condition in terms of death or life? Would He have good things to say, or not so much? Join us for a study in Revelation three today on His Perfect Love, as pastor Matt VanderVen has a look at what Jesus has to say to the church in Sardis. There’s no mystery at all about the Lord’s displeasure with the things going on in this church. They were spiritually dead! Let’s make sure this doesn’t happen to us.

All around us today we see people engaging in immorality and idolatry. False teaching is in our midst and there’s a toleration of unrepentant sin, even in the church. What I just described was actually occurring in the church at Thyatira, as we’ll discover today on His Perfect Love. And the Lord’s message to them is the same as it is to us today! Join us at the tail-end of Revelation chapter two and see what that is!

Tolerance... that’s the big buzz word of the day. And at times we should be tolerant. But sin and false teaching should never be tolerated in the church. Today pastor Matt VanderVen takes another look at the Lord’s letter to the church at Thyatira in Revelation chapter two. While He commended them for a few things, He rebuked them as well. They were tolerating false teaching and unrepentant sin, and engaging in immorality and idolatry.
