Love Grown Cold

This sermon examines Revelation 2’s message to the church in Ephesus—commended for solid doctrine and endurance but rebuked for losing their first love. Though they faithfully exposed false teaching and endured hardship, their devotion and compassion had grown cold. Jesus calls them to repent and rekindle the passionate love that once drew them together or face removal of his presence. Genuine church life is not defined by flawless theology or ritual but by sacrificial love that welcomes and heals the wounded. May we restore our first love and experience the fullness of life promised to the victorious.
