In this week’s message, we sit with Jesus’ words to the church in Ephesus from Revelation 2—words that feel surprisingly close to home. Though they were faithful, discerning, and enduring, Jesus gently names what had been slipping away: they had lost their first love. This teaching invites us to notice how easily devotion can turn into duty, and how activity can replace affection. Yet Jesus doesn’t come with condemnation, but with an invitation—to remember, to turn back, and to return to the simple love we once had for Him. Not to try harder, but to come closer, and let our hearts be warmed again by the grace that first found us.
