This week, we finish our series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church. This week, we study the letter to the church of Laodicea.
Laodicea was a wealthy community but they let that wealth take a central place in their heart. They were also quick to compromise and avoid any conflict. The church took on these characteristics and Jesus' message to the church was correcting them for not realizing these underlying issues. Like the church of Laodicea, we have to be vigilant in our own lives to not let these problems fester and take steps to combat the empty promises our culture offers us.
