Text: Revelation 2

How is your love relationship with the Lord? 

The example of the church at Ephesus:

1. Praise (vs. 1-3)

2. The Problem (Vs 4)

     * They had left their 1st love.

     * They were cold.

     * The key to evaluation is through worship.

3. The Solution to the Problem (vs. 5)

     *Remember from where you have fallen

     *Repent - Turn to Christ (see also Psalm 63)

     * Return

Text: Mark 1
