Dear Church: Ephesus | Leftovers Love

We invite you to walk on a journey with us through a series studying all seven letters the Lord prompts John to write to each of the seven churches found in the book of Revelation! "Dear Church" reveals the promise and rewards we find when we hold fast and listen to the Holy Spirit.

1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-3
13 If I speak in the tongues[a] of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If
I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast,[b] but do not have love, I gain nothing.

LOOK - Assess How Far You Have Drifted
REPENT - Turn Back; Run Back
DO THE THINGS YOU DID AT FIRST!!

EPHESIANS 3:14-21
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

EXODUS 34:14
14 Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

ISAIAH 42:8
8 “I am the LORD; that is my name! I will not yield my glory to another or my praise to idols.

MATTHEW 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

PROVERBS 3:9-10
Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; 10
then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.
