Passage: Revelation 2:1-7 Speaker: Sam Horn Series: Standalone Messages
Speaker: Sam Horn - In seven letters to seven churches, Jesus Christ Himself reveals by encouragement and rebuke and by warning and praise the marks of His church across all places and times. The first of these marks is communicated through the church of Ephesus. Jesus’ church is to be marked by love. While love for Jesus should always be present in true Christians, it can fluctuate in its intensity. Christians must constantly cultivate a fervent love for Christ with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, and there is no better biblical illustration of the seriousness of allowing love for Christ to weaken than this letter. Without love, the church’s work, endurance and purity are worthless.
