That's a pretty powerful statement, especially considering the fact that Jesus said it. It makes you wonder: "Could Jesus be talking about my church"?
Actually, the church to which Jesus was referring to was the church at Laodicea. Laodicea was the last of the seven churches described by Jesus in Revelation.
The Apostle John - now John the Revelator - was directed by Jesus in Revelation 1:11 to write down what he saw from a vision. He was then to deliver it to seven of the churches which occupied Asia Minor. That area is now Turkey.

It was the Passover, the annual celebration of Israel's exodus from Egypt. It was the Last Supper Jesus would have with his disciples before his death on the cross. During dinner, Jesus announced, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me." The sorrowful disciples asked, "Is it I, Lord." In Matthew 26:23-24, Jesus answered, "He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born."
