The letter to Ephesus continues with some stern words:

Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place. Revelation 2:5

Today you are invited to listen to these words both on a personal basis and on behalf of your church. We know we are all sinners. How do these words apply to you? How do they apply to your church? What changes do you need to make? What do you need to say to Jesus in these regards? How can you do the things you did at first to rectify the situation? What is God saying to you today?

May God bless you as you repent and turn to Him in new ways today.
