Heavy Revy Series - Part 3 • Revelation 2:1-17 • Seven Church Report Cards Part 1

How's your relationship with Jesus really doing—are you still burning with that first-love passion, or just going through the religious motions? In Revelation 2, Christ issues divine report cards to seven churches. In this message, Pastor Rick dives into the first three, starting with Ephesus, rebuked despite their doctrinal purity—they've lost their first love and must remember, repent, and return to their initial devotion.Smyrna, the persecuted church, receives only commendation; though poor and suffering, they're spiritually rich and promised the crown of life for remaining faithful unto death. Pergamum gets mixed marks—praised for holding fast to Christ where Antipas was martyred, yet condemned for tolerating false teachers leading believers into compromise. Jesus walks among His churches with burning glory, requiring authentic love, uncompromising holiness, and faithful perseverance—will your church pass His inspection?A sermon delivered as part of the Heavy Revy Series - #3 at Dayspring Church in Star, Idaho, on December 7, 2025DAYSPRING SERVICE INFORMATIONAddress: 2211 N Pollard Lane in Star, IdahoDay & Time: Sunday at 10:30 am.See you there!STAY UP TO DATEMake sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!-For more information, please contact us at [email protected]: www.dayspringchurch.org-Dayspring Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dayspringchurchstar/-Rick Brown Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rickbrown.usa/-Dayspring Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DayspringChurchStarBIBLE READING PLANGet the Anchored in the Word Bible reading plan: https://www.dayspringchurch.org/mediaGIVEGiving is part of our worship time, and in this season, the easiest way to do that is online.
