What does it mean to truly abide in the love of God rather than simply staying busy for God? This message draws from Revelation 2, where Jesus commends the church of Ephesus for their tireless works, their endurance, and their doctrinal faithfulness, only to deliver a striking warning: they have abandoned their first love. The sobering reality is that we can be doing everything right on the outside while losing the very thing that gives all of it meaning. First love is not a feeling to chase. It is a reality to return to.
