Pastor Jack continues the series “Christ and His Church” by examining Jesus’ letter to the church at Ephesus. Drawing from Revelation 2, he commends the church for their works, labor, patience, and doctrinal purity?but issues a loving yet firm warning: “You have left your first love.” Pastor Jack emphasizes that Jesus isn’t demanding psychological strokes, but calling His people back to the simplicity of loving Him first above all works, principles, and religious activities, so that true fruitfulness can continue.
