God, something's up. The atmosphere is jacked up. I can feel it. And my assignment is to tell us, don't be lukewarm. Don't just show up. Be alive. Be spiritually engaged. Have the love of God. But for goodness sake, either I'm gonna go ahead and offend you. Either get in or get out. God, this lukewarmness is making Jesus want to vomit. Amen? I'm that's why I'm reading scripture. Oh, blessed be the name of lord god forever. [00:35:37] (54 seconds)  #NoMoreLukewarm Download clip

We're not just trying to say something, we got something to say. We're not just showing up and filling church seats. We are alive. We are engaged. Your family is not just called the family down the street that goes to church. You are the family that is engaged with the things of god. That no matter how hard the battle is, you're fight until the very end because you are spiritually engaged. Are you listening to me this morning? And that's what the bible says when you go back that whenever the whenever it says that that those that are alive and remain shall be caught up together to meet the lord in the air. Just because you got a Bible and you go to church, doesn't mean you're going. [00:12:52] (43 seconds)  #SpirituallyEngaged Download clip

You got everything in your life. You got your business taken care of, but you're spiritually dead. You're lukewarm. A matter of fact, you're so lukewarm. It's just like your water. If it you you make me want to vomit. You know what it says? Come on, church. Those that are alive and remain should be caught together and meet the lord in the air. But look at Jesus. Look at Jesus. Oh, I gotta hurry. But he don't just slam em and walk away. He says, I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire that you may be rich and white garments that you may be clothed that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed and anoint your eyes with eyesalve that you can see.

There's a hidden truth behind it. You got darkness, you got light. Either you're behind darkness or you're behind light. But but light holds back darkness. And that's what's happening here. Who is the light? The church is the light. How do you know? Jesus says, you are the light of the world. We're the light. Oh, darkness wants to come out and really show itself, but it can't because there's some light in here this morning. There's some alive ones this morning. There's some engaged ones this morning.

Here's what's important. Talking about end time stuff, what's gonna happen? You hear these things, well how do we know? But here here's and the world won't know, but look at verse four. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this day should overtake you as a thief. People who are spiritually engaged, people who are spiritually alive, when Jesus whatever day the last day of this day is gonna be before Jesus comes back, it's not gonna catch us off guard because we are spiritually engaged.

Jesus used the parallel for the church today, quit walking around like you don't need anything because you're not hot, I wish you were hot, that means you're on fire for God, I wish you were cold, not cold as colder than the things of God, but cold which means you are you are pure, you are full of love, you are full of long suffering. I wish you were I wish you were something but you're not. You're in between. You're not alive, you're not dead, you're just existing. But you think you're rich. You think you're going somewhere that you're not. Come on, church. I'm just reading. I'm just reading. I'm just telling you. [00:28:39] (45 seconds)  #BeHotOrCold Download clip

If you drink lukewarm water, it's going to make you sick. That's what they say. Lukewarm. More warm than if you drink or not a sip but drink enough of it makes you sick. So anyway, it's better to be hot or cold if you want to drink it. Verse 16, so then, because you are lukewarm and neither cold or hot, I will vomit you out of my mouth. Told you. Make you sick. I'll find me out of my mouth. [00:23:52] (30 seconds)  #LukewarmMakesSick Download clip

And that's what the enemy is always after. He says, will not give you this land even though you're give me more money, listen to me church, you're gonna give me more money than what this piece of dirt is worth or you're either gonna give me another big old nice vineyard over there that is worth more than this. But what you got to understand that this is my inheritance. This was passed down to me. This was given to me. You know what the problem is with the church at 2026? We sell out too easy. And every Ahab that comes knocking on our door. Let [00:40:58] (39 seconds)  #DontSellOut Download clip
