Hot or Cold

(Ephesians 2:8-9, Revelation 3:15-18, Matthew 7:21-23)

Revelation 3:15-16 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

What I think or what you think about service isn’t really that important.  The O___________ R______________ important opinion in all of this, is what God thinks about serving.

Let’s start with a question.  Are you H________ or are you C___________?

The water at Hierapolis was useful because it was H________ and full of M____________________.

The water at Colossae was useful because it was C___________ and P________.

The water at Laodicea W____________ U_____________ to anybody because it was neither hot, cold, or pure.

H______ we serve the Lord is just as important as I_____ we are serving the Lord.

Take Away Lesson: We each need to come to an understanding of whether we are hot or cold and get busy because for a true Christian, lukewarm just isn’t an option.

Matthew 7:21-23 21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
