Ephesus Acts 19:1-20 The church was born out of an incredible move of God Paul, Timothy, and John himself Most likely the mother church of the other 6 churches

Week 5: First Love (Revelation 2:1-7)

#1 Specific aspect of the revelation of Jesus for Ephesus He is walking among them/ He is with them He is in control The Church is His greatest concern He is active

#2 True condition (I know…”) Nothing is hidden Even if they don’t know Clarity

#3 Commendation Deeds, hard work, perseverance Intolerant of sin & wicked men Discernment Sound, unwavering doctrine Remained faithful Have not grown weary

#4 Correction Forsaken/ left/ abandoned their first love Passion and fervor becoming just cold function Doing duty only/ going through the motions No zeal, no joy, no life

Importance of our love for the Lord The great commandment Matthew 10:37-38 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.”

Importance of our love for the Lord What did Jesus ask Peter three times to determine his spiritual condition? 2 Corinthians 5:14 (NRSV) For the love of Christ urges us on, because we are convinced that one has died for all; therefore all have died. The love of Christ constrains us, compels us, controls us, rules us

#4 Correction Love for people Had the holding onto truth part but lost love It was to the Ephesians that Paul wrote: “Speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15)

#5 Encouragement Remember Revelation 12:11 (NASB) And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

#5 Encouragement Remember Repent! Repeat Or else… Removal At least they haven’t compromised/ went after other loves

#6 Listen up! “He who has an ear” The Spirit says this #7 His promise “To him who overcomes” The right to eat- from tree of life The paradise of God

Remember Repent Repeat
