The Church of Laodicea is most famously known as “the Lukewarm Church”. But what does it mean when Christ says, “I would rather you be hot or cold?” This message explores this passage and helps us to see that being hot or cold is a matter of dependence or self-reliance. Our ambition as Christians is not to make a name for ourselves or see what we can do for His name. Rather, our ambition must be to be in relationship with Him and to walk with Him faithfully depending on the Spirit to lead us.
