About this episode

This sermon reflects on the evaluation of the Ephesian church in Revelation 2, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a passionate love for Christ amidst church activities.

Passage: Revelation 2:1-7 Date: 12 July 2026 Speaker: David Montgomery Summary: In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, Jesus provides a powerful evaluation of the churches, asking the crucial question: Where is He? While the Ephesian church was active and orthodox, they had lost their first love for Christ. This sermon invites us to reflect on our own faith—are we busy with church activities, yet missing the heart of our mission? It’s a call to return to the passion of our initial love for God, ensuring our actions reflect His glory. Links: Church Website Watch on YouTube Contact Us
