Have you been taught that Jesus wants you "Hot" (on fire) and hates it when you are "Cold" (spiritually dead)? In this eye-opening historical and theological session, John Barnett dismantles one of the most common misunderstandings in the Bible. He takes us on a tour of the ancient aqueducts of Laodicea to reveal that Jesus actually loves "Cold" Christians. If you are feeling lukewarm today, this class explains exactly why that condition makes God want to vomit—and how to fix it.
Here is why you cannot miss this class:
1. THE FACE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD Who will you actually see when you get to Heaven? Will you see three Gods? John Barnett dives into the "Ocean of the Trinity" to explain a stunning reality: There is only one God you will ever see walking around Heaven. Discover why Jesus isn’t just a created being, but the "Amen," the Originator, and the exact image of the invisible God. This is a masterclass on why Jesus is all you need.
2. THE MYTH OF "HOT VS. COLD" Stop beating yourself up for not being "on fire" 24/7. John uses history to correct bad theology. By mapping the water sources of Colossae (ice-cold mountain springs) and Hierapolis (hot therapeutic springs), he reveals that Jesus wants you to be Cold (refreshing to the weary) OR Hot (cleansing and healing). The problem isn’t temperature; it’s the nausea-inducing mixture of the two.
3. THE SULFUR SMELL OF COMPROMISE Why did Jesus say He would "vomit" the Laodiceans out of His mouth? John explains the geography of the aqueducts—how the hot water cooled down and the cold water warmed up until it became a stinking, sulfurous sludge that no one could drink. Learn how a believer becomes "neutral"—useful to no one and sickening to Christ.
4. THE DIAGNOSIS: A "CONFESSION OF DISTRACTION" What creates a lukewarm Christian? It isn’t necessarily major sin; it is distraction. John challenges the number one excuse Christians give: "I don’t have time." With 168 hours in a week, he argues that we do have time, we just invest it elsewhere. This class forces you to confront the distraction that is diluting your spiritual potency.
THE BOTTOM LINE: Jesus wants you to be refreshing or healing to a dying world. He does not want you neutral. Join John Barnett to find out if you are the water of life, or if you have become the lukewarm water that Jesus rejects.
