The first letter in Revelation was written to the church in Ephesus. Jesus commends them for their hard work and patience. But he points out one thing, they have forsaken their first love. It’s a heart condition that any of us can easily fall into. As we dive into this first message of our series, why we can easily lose that love and how we can rekindle that love Jesus and for those around us.

Throughout this series, we’ve discovered that serving others is the only worthwhile way to live. In this final message, Jesus describes how we should live differently, using the image of a seed planted in the ground. Farmers know how to use a seed to produce a harvest. In the same way, we live lives that honor God. It’s not an invitation to throw our lives away but to surrender to truly live.

Every person who follows Jesus has been given a gift. Sometimes they’re called Spiritual Gifts. These gifts are given to each person to enable us to serve in a distinct way. In this message, we’ll look at several ways we’re empowered to serve that are outlined in Scripture. You’ll also have an opportunity to examine what gifts you have been given to bless people around you.

Jesus gives us a tip for a great investment strategy, one that God himself guarantees. It's not a tip about where to put our retirement or our kids' college fund – it's a tip about where to invest our lives. This investment is about more than our money. It's about how we spend our whole lives, the most important investment we can make. Listen to this week's message and consider the question, "Where are you investing your life?"

There are a lot of ways that people try to climb up the ladder and live a successful life. But what if we are climbing the ladder the wrong way?

You can make the worst decisions or the right choices in life. Why does it matter? Because how you live today impacts the person you will become. Dive into what Proverbs says about your decisions and, more importantly, where you should put your trust.

We all know how easy it easy to wreck our lives with how we handle our money. Proverbs paints a picture of what it looks like to manage our finances poorly or manage them wisely. It also gives us a simple but powerful plan for how to steward our money well.

We wreck our lives by comparing ourselves to other people. When we compare ourselves to other people, we experience more anxiety and tension in our lives. What's the remedy to comparison? Gratitude!

Proverbs has a lot to say about what we say. Your words can build people up or they can tear them down. As followers of Jesus, how we speak to others is directly related to how we love others. Thankfully, God gives us a way to control our tongue.

The book of Proverbs is kind of like the Bible’s lifehack section. It’s a book of wisdom that we can apply to our lives. So, what does Proverbs have to say about relationships? In this message, not only will we discover the kinds of people we should surround ourselves with, but also how God can use us to be a friend with others.
