    Ephesus: The Loveless Church Series

    Contributed by Duane Wente on Feb 14, 2026
     | 125 views

    Faithful labor and sound doctrine marked the church in Ephesus, but love had grown cold. Jesus’ call is not to do more, but to return—to remember, repent, and rekindle devotion to Him. True renewal begins when love for Christ is restored.

    ## INTRODUCTION — THE CHRIST WHO HOLDS AND WALKS WITH HIS CHURCH The last time we met, we began our study of the seven churches that are found in the first three chapters of Revelation. As we started, we listened before we evaluated. Before Jesus says anything to His church, He reveals something ...read more

    Penetcost is perhpas the most significant day on our calendars. The celebration of the birth of the Church is just as important as Christmas and Easter. So why do so many churches overlook it, in spite of celebrating other civil holidays?

    If John could have seen the Church today when writing the Revelation, I think he wouldn't have been quite so biblically polite in the Letter he would send to it.

    To the Church of the Namby-Pamby I’ve been somewhat bothered with something lately and can’t seem to get it off of my mind. A feeling that God is pushing us to get things sorted quickly because His return is VERY SOON. Anyone else felt this? Felt the urgency of the church’s mission? Felt like ...read more

    Jn 3:16-21, Acts 2:41-47 THE THREE R’S OF THE CHURCH Why does the church exist? You may have many answers to that question, but what does God think? Let’s look at His answer.
