The church of Laodicea was the last of seven churches Christ spoke to in the book of Revelation. Although His message was given nearly 2,000 years ago, it is still very relevant to us today. In this ten-part series, with openings captured throughout the ancient city of Laodicea, Rick Renner takes you on an inspiring journey revealing the history of Laodicea, the spiritual significance of being cold and hot and not lukewarm, and what it actually means to be “rebuked” and “chastened” by Christ. You’ll also hear Christ’s counsel to a calloused church, how His correction is always motivated by love, and how He promises instant intimacy for anyone who opens the door to Him. https://store.renner.org/product/195/christs-message-to-laodicea-10-part-series In his book A Light in Darkness, Volume 1 Rick Renner creates a panoramic experience of unsurpassed detail to transport you into the ancient lands of the seven churches of Asia Minor. Within the context of this fascinating — and, at times, shocking — historical backdrop, Rick outlines challenges early believers faced in taking the Gospel to a pagan world. After presenting a riveting account of the apostle John's vision of the exalted Christ, Rick leads you through an in-depth study of Jesus' messages to the churches of Ephesus and Smyrna — profoundly relevant messages that sill resonate for His Church today. https://store.renner.org/product/120/a-light-in-darkness-volume-1 In No Room for Compromise: Christ’s Message to Today’s Church, Rick Renner sets forth his most prophetic book to date. With a sobering charge to Christian leadership to stand up for faith in Christ — regardless of the price required to proclaim it in its purest form — Renner’s message is a clarion call: Winds of opposition against the Church are gathering. As pagan influences continue to increase in these last days, Christianity will once again become completely out of sync with the times with its message that Christ alone is the way to the Father. https://store.renner.org/product/17/no-room-for-compromise-volume-2
