Episode Details

Can you keep doing everything at church and lose the love that got you there? Jesus' letter to Ephesus in Revelation 2:1-7 puts that question to a hardworking congregation. They've endured trouble. They've tested false teachers. Jesus sees the hours they've put in, and he also sees what has happened to their love. It's possible to keep a ministry running while growing cold toward the people you're serving. In this Church Reviews sermon, we consider what Ephesus's first love means and why Jesus calls them to remember, repent, and return to the things they did at first. His promise of the tree of life gives hope to people who know they've drifted and want to begin again. Watch the whole service from the sermon notes and video page linked below.
