This week we continue our series Jesus Among the Churches by exploring Jesus’ message to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7.

The believers in Ephesus were commended for their perseverance, discernment, and commitment to biblical truth. They faithfully rejected false teaching and remained steadfast under pressure. Yet Jesus lovingly confronted them with one heartbreaking reality:

“You have left your first love.” (Revelation 2:4)

This message reminds us that Christianity is never meant to become merely a list of correct beliefs or religious activities. Our relationship with Jesus always comes before our work for Jesus.

In this message, you’ll discover:

Why Jesus praised the church in Ephesus.

The danger of replacing relationship with religion.

How legalism slowly causes our love for God to grow cold.

Why truth and love must always walk together.

How returning to our first love transforms every area of our lives.

No matter how long you’ve followed Christ, this message invites each of us to examine our hearts and ask:

Am I still loving Jesus the way I did at first?

Key Scripture:

📖 Revelation 2:1–7
