This is the Baymont podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today we travel to the last of the seven churches of Johns Apocalypse, Leodicea.

We've all heard the warning against being a lukewarm Christian.

Leodicea. Before we even get started, I should point out.

There's a lot of lessons that this disclaimer would work for, but there are some lessons that Ray, my teacher, was known for more than others.

This would probably be one of those. I like to give a shout out before I give the impression that this lesson is mine.

I somehow constructed it and put it together. I haven't. I stole it from Ray and learned it under him. It was incredible.

It's incredible on the video.

This one, if you want to find Ray's original lesson, the influenced mine. You can find it in his series. We always recommend that the world may know series from Focus on the Family.

It is in Volume 5. It's the last faith lesson on Volume 5 titled The Early Church.

We'll try to find that and put a link to it in your show notes.

So you can find it and buy it and watch it and love it.

Heropolis and Colossae. Now, Heropolis, we talked about Colossae.

We did a whole, not a trick question, the book of the Bible named Colossians written to Colossae.

We talked about that earlier in this session.
