Leonard Ravenhill – Laodicean Church

Bravehearted Voices
About this episode

Jesus describes the Laodicean church (in Revelation 3) as wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. In short, they were self-righteous, self-serving, and self-satisified. Therefore, Jesus says, since they were lukewarm, He was going to vomit them out of His mouth.

In this stirring sermon, Leonard Ravenhill talks about the Laodicean church and its similarities to the modern church of today.

The Lord of the Sabbath
In Mark 2, Jesus makes a claim that is so over the top, so out of all categories, so outrageous that the religious leaders don’t even have a word for it. They’ve called him blasphemous before, but this claim goes beyond their words. In this passage, two incidents are linked toget ... Show More

The Prodigal Sons
For centuries this famous passage has been called the parable of the prodigal son. But it’s a great mistake to think it’s a story about one son. It’s a story of two sons, of a younger and an older brother. If you don’t compare and contrast the two, you’re going to miss the radica ... Show More

The trouble with the Sermon on the Mount is it’s so familiar that almost nobody listens to it, almost nobody knows what it’s saying. How do we know that? At the very end of the sermon, it says the crowds were amazed at Jesus’s teaching. And that word, “amazed,” in Greek meant thu ... Show More

Praying Our Doubts
The anger, the fear, the hostility, the rawness, the white heat of the emotions expressed in the Psalms really just disturb people today. You look at it, and you say, “What is that doing in the Bible?” The answer is the psalmists are not discussing feelings, and they’re not expre ... Show More

The Rest-Giver
Hebrews is written to first-century, urban people who are so weary with troubles and difficulties that they’re in danger of giving up. What do they need?  It’s pretty obvious from this passage what the writer is trying to get across: because eight times in eleven verses we see th ... Show More

United to One Another
There’s a problem. We aren’t what we are. The book of Ephesians is ultimately about the church. Paul very directly talks about what the church is and who the church is. These are some of the most powerful passages on that subject that you’re ever going to find. And in Ephesians 2 ... Show More
