Look Up

Look Up: What Does Jesus Say?

Before addressing their problem, Jesus praises the Ephesian believers. They worked hard. They persevered. They rejected false teaching. They protected sound doctrine. They endured hardship without giving up. This was not a lazy church. This was not an immoral church. This was not a compromised church. Yet after all of those affirmations comes one sentence:

“You have forsaken the love you had at first.”

Discussion

Why do you think Jesus considered this issue so serious?

What does it teach us about what matters most to Him?

Pastor Rodney described the Ephesians as “faithful in action but forgetful in affection.”

What do you think that means?

How can someone continue doing all the right things while slowly drifting from Jesus?
