Play Ball - Swing for the Fences

Why is lukewarm so bad? Have you felt that from other people in your life? Why is lukewarm worse than cold?

Where is it in your life that you are neither hot nor cold, where you are lukewarm? Home? Work? Church? Relationship with Spouse? Kid?

What would it take to change that relationship from lukewarm to hot, to swing for the fences? Are you willing to do that? Are you willing to pray for God’s help in doing that?

Read Revelation 3:17-18

Do you ever feel that you are rich, that you kind of have it all together and don’t need anything? Or do you realize that you are wretched, poor, blind, and naked, at least, without Jesus?

In this passage, Jesus counsels those he is talking to to buy from him “gold refined in the fire…..white clothes to wear…..and salve to put on your eyes.” What is Jesus talking about with this gold, these clothes, and this salve? If we were to buy these things from Jesus, what would the price be? How would we pay the price?

Are you willing to Swing for the Fences in your relationship with Jesus? What does that look like for you? What needs to change? Are you willing to pray for that change?
