Return to Your First Love: The Letter to Ephesus

This week Pastor Gennady continues his series in Revelation, finishing chapter one and turning to the letter to the church at Ephesus and its hard question: can you labor faithfully for God and still lose your first love? He shows how Jesus, the first and the last, walks among his people and praises their works, toil, and endurance, yet calls them to repent and let everything they do flow from love for Christ, because devotion matters more than doctrine. The morning opens with the hymns Great Is Thy Faithfulness and As the Deer and closes with Blessed Assurance. It ends with news of Allen’s upcoming baptism and prayer for those who are sick.
