3. What’s the point?

4. “‘I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth. For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing, Revelation 3:15-18

5. not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.’” Revelation 3:15-18

18. Q: What would it look like for us to love each other and love others outside of our ministry? Q: What would it look like for us to stand out in our community and on your campus as a youth group? Q: What would it look like for us to grow in maturity as a youth group? Life Application.

19. How should we do these things? Life Application.

20. Don’t let what happens in church stay in church. Be a missionary in your mission field. Get connected with God, the Bible, and a Lifegroup. Challenge.
