The sermon on Sunday, January 11, 2026, will be Revelation 3:14-22 – Laodicea: A Church to Revive. “Behold, I stand at the door and knock.”  – Revelation 3:20

I struggle crafting good sermon titles. My congregation knows this and has unlimited patience with me due to my deficiency. I am not imaginative. But I ‘think’ I have a good one for my sermon about the church in Laodicea – ‘When Jesus Stands Outside the Church Doors and Knocks.’ I am certainly not trying to be flippant about a most troubling reality. Some churches hold the Lord Jesus at arm’s length. They may have a pastor who does not faithfully expound the Bible through whom Christ speaks. Or, they may have a faithful pastor, and yet, they turn a deaf ear to his clear exposition of the Word of God. No matter the reason for Jesus’s exclusion from one of his congregations, he still mercifully stands outside and knocks.
