November once crackled with frost and had a taste of its own; now it is often bland and lukewarm, and that is exactly how faith looks when it stops costing anything. This sermon takes us to Laodicea, a wealthy city of bankers that lacked only one thing: good water, since what arrived through the pipes was tepid and sickening (Revelation 3). It shows how prosperity, security and the absence of any challenge quietly lead to spiritual bankruptcy, and what Jesus offers instead of Laodicean gold, garments and famous ointment. Listen, and ask yourself whether God has become merely your emergency plan.

However, upon reading them carefully, we discover that their message is astonishingly relevant today and applies to the entire Church and to all followers of Jesus who, in various places and circumstances, await His second coming.
