Summary

If you were to assess your faith right now, where would you say you are when set against the backdrop of Scripture. In this thought-provoking sermon, Francis Chan delves into Revelation 3:15-18, confronting the lukewarm faith that’s prevalent in the church today. He challenges us to ignite our spiritual passion and align our lives with the truth of God’s Word. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.” (Revelation 3:15-18)
