Today we're concluding Ducks in a Row: Reordered Loves, our series examining what happens when good things find themselves in the wrong order in our hearts.

In Week 3, First Love, Jono Contestabile takes us to Jesus' words to the church in Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–7.

On the surface, this church was doing everything right. They worked hard. They persevered. They cared about truth. They endured hardship in Jesus' name.

But underneath all that activity, something had shifted.

Jesus tells them: “You have forsaken the love you had at first.”

It's possible to maintain the activities that love once taught us long after love is no longer what's motivating them.

So how do we recognize when our affection for Jesus has shifted—and how do we return?

Remember. Repent. Repeat.

And ultimately, remember where our love began:

“We love because He first loved us.”

Join us for worship, communion and the conclusion of Ducks in a Row: Reordered Loves.
