church of Christ Sermon Outlines

Sermon/Lesson Title

How would you describe yourself as a follower of Jesus Christ?  Are you dedicated, committed, zealous?  Or would lukewarm, mediocre, half-hearted better describe you?  What does lukewarm look like?  Francis Chan in the book Crazy Love would say those that are lukewarm look like this.

Are You Lukewarm?

Every Christian must pause from time to time and look inward. Paul told the Corinthians, “Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Self-examination is not optional—it is necessary. Without it, we risk drifting into spiritual apathy without realizing it. The Lord’s words to Laodicea in Revelation 3:15–16 remain a piercing warning: “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm… I will vomit you out of My mouth.”
