00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.240
 Welcome to Ontario Community Church, where we are encouraging, equipping, and engaging lives for Christ.

00:00:07.719 --> 00:00:15.060
! I'm Pastor Patrick Daly, and each week I balance the grace and love of Jesus Christ with the truth of the Word of God.

00:00:15.580 --> 00:00:20.539
 Today, you'll be hearing week four of our sermon series through the book of Revelation.

00:00:20.719 --> 00:00:29.280
 We're looking at Revelation chapter 2, verses 1 through 7, which is Christ's letter to the church in Ephesus.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.640
 Here's something fascinating to note before you listen.

00:00:33.200 --> 00:00:39.700
 This is the same church that the Apostle Paul commended in the book of Ephesians for their love and faithfulness.

00:00:40.060 --> 00:00:43.539
 It was a flagship church in the early Christian movement.

00:00:44.019 --> 00:00:49.320
 Yet here in Revelation, it was being rebuked for abandoning its first love.

00:00:49.320 --> 00:01:01.079
 It is a reminder that even strong churches can drift when they focus on only being right and not balancing the truth and the love of Christ.

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:13.299
 As you listen today, pay attention to the three-part remedy that Christ gives to remember, to repent, and to do, which is to love God and to love others.

00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:24.000
 Let's pay attention to the connection to Jeremiah chapter 2 and how that imagery of devotion is connected with the Old Testament and with Revelation.

00:01:24.500 --> 00:01:27.280
 Let's listen together to today's message.

00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:32.739
 First love, remember, repent, and do love.

00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:35.900
 Well, good morning, everyone.

00:01:36.420 --> 00:01:42.420
 So we are in week four of our sermon series through the book of Revelation.

00:01:42.420 --> 00:01:52.700
 We have been making some really good ground so far, and it's just been very interesting seeing all the different connections that happen within the book of Revelation.

00:01:54.400 --> 00:02:05.659
 And we started off by seeing how important it is for us to read, study, and to preach through Revelation.

00:02:05.659 --> 00:02:16.240
 And I cannot help how often we hear of Revelation as a book that is scary and confusing, one that is divisive.

00:02:16.979 --> 00:02:23.599
 But the reality is there's nothing to be afraid of, especially when you know Jesus Christ.

00:02:23.699 --> 00:02:23.879
 Amen?

00:02:24.519 --> 00:02:29.259
 There's nothing for us to be afraid of when we trust in the living God.

00:02:29.259 --> 00:02:45.039
 Our hope is in Jesus Christ and Revelation, just like any other book of the Bible, is something that we should seek, we should learn from and grow, and we should be moved to act as well.

00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:50.519
 And Revelation, like any other book of the Bible, is important for us.

00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:57.640
 It is if we understand that in Revelation chapter 1, verse 3,

00:02:58.780 --> 00:03:08.840
 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and keep what is written in it, for the time is near.

00:03:09.480 --> 00:03:17.480
 And how important it is for us to read the word of God and to hear it, but to hear it so that we understand.

00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:23.979
 And so often in Scripture, when you see that language of, he who has an ear, let him hear.

00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.659
 It's for us to understand and to be transformed by the word.

00:03:29.239 --> 00:03:32.379
 And we have got to keep the word of God.

00:03:32.799 --> 00:03:41.620
 We have to keep it within our hearts, much so we hold dear the gospel message, as well as our testimony.

00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:45.479
 I would like for us to turn to Revelation.

00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:48.639
 Revelation. We're going to go into Revelation chapter 2.

00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:51.620
 And we're going to go over the first seven verses.

00:03:51.959 --> 00:04:01.159
 And if you remember last week, we were going over this language where John was talking about what Christ's saying.

00:04:02.339 --> 00:04:03.519
 Where Christ says,

00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:06.699
 Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.

00:04:06.780 --> 00:04:08.919
 I died, and behold, I am alive evermore.

00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:11.399
 I have the keys of death and Hades.

00:04:11.400 --> 00:04:14.340
 Therefore, the things that you have seen.

00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.879
 We had this imagery of the seven stars and the seven lampstands.

00:04:19.379 --> 00:04:22.660
 The stars representing the angels or the messengers.

00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:26.199
 And the lampstands representing the churches.

00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:34.879
 And so, what's really cool about this is we're going to go over each of those lampstands and what the Lord has to say.

00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:45.659
 Father God, we thank you for this time and this opportunity for us to gather together as we are going through this, the book of Revelation.

00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:51.100
 And we are now going through the church in Ephesus.

00:04:51.100 --> 00:04:58.960
 We pray, Father, that we may really take to heart the message here.

00:05:00.220 --> 00:05:08.960
 May we see the good things that Ephesus did, but also learn from the bad things as well.

00:05:09.760 --> 00:05:14.320
 May our hearts always be focused on you.

00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:16.320
 The source of life.

00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:18.480
 The source of our salvation.

00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:26.400
 And may we learn to balance the truth of your word and never lose sight.

00:05:26.980 --> 00:05:30.720
 May we never lose your love in the process.

00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:35.220
 It is in the name of Jesus Christ that we pray and we all say together, Amen, church.

00:05:35.939 --> 00:05:36.660
 All right.

00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:38.020
 So, Revelation chapter 2.

00:05:38.100 --> 00:05:39.900
 We're going to read these seven verses.

00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:45.500
 Let's read it together, church.

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:49.939
 To the angel of the church in Ephesus write,

00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.759
 The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand,

00:05:55.100 --> 00:05:58.139
 Who walks among the seven golden lampstands.

00:05:58.620 --> 00:06:02.639
 I know your works, your toil, and your patient endurance,

00:06:03.100 --> 00:06:05.839
 And how you cannot bear with those who are evil,

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:09.620
 But have tested those who call themselves apostles,

00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.939
 And are not, and found them to be false.

00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.759
 I know you are enduring patiently,

00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:18.199
 And bearing up for my name's sake,

00:06:18.379 --> 00:06:20.199
 And you have not grown weary.

00:06:20.740 --> 00:06:21.800
 But, uh-oh.

00:06:22.980 --> 00:06:24.519
 All that was good, right?

00:06:25.220 --> 00:06:27.819
 But, I have this against you,

00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:31.579
 That you have abandoned the love you had at first.

00:06:31.579 --> 00:06:35.419
 Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen,

00:06:36.079 --> 00:06:39.099
 Repent, and do the works you did at first.

00:06:39.599 --> 00:06:42.379
 If not, I will come to you in what, church?

00:06:43.279 --> 00:06:45.639
 Remove your lampstand from its place,

00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:47.000
 Unless you repent.

00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:49.039
 Yet this you have,

00:06:49.479 --> 00:06:51.939
 You hate the work of the Nicolaitans,

00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:53.599
 Which I also hate.

00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:55.759
 He who has an ear,

00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.259
 Let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches,

00:06:59.259 --> 00:07:01.199
 To the one who conquers,

00:07:01.379 --> 00:07:04.500
 I will grant to eat of the tree of life,

00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:07.039
 Which is in the paradise of God.

00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:08.439
 Wow.

00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.139
 We thank God for that.

00:07:13.099 --> 00:07:16.920
 What an interesting message that's happening here, right?

00:07:16.980 --> 00:07:18.659
 So what exactly is going on here?

00:07:19.079 --> 00:07:21.879
 We see in the beginning that Christ is saying, right,

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:25.860
 To the angel, to the messenger of the church in Ephesus, right,

00:07:25.959 --> 00:07:26.939
 Write this down.

00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:29.399
 So this is from Christ, right?

00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:31.060
 The words of him, right?

00:07:31.100 --> 00:07:32.240
 The words of Christ,

00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.579
 Who holds the seven stars in his right hand,

00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:37.759
 Who walks among the seven golden lampstands, right?

00:07:37.779 --> 00:07:41.319
 We've seen this language that's happened previously, right?

00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:46.000
 Where you have this imagery of Christ with eyes of fire, right?

00:07:46.180 --> 00:07:47.639
 If you remember that language.

00:07:48.399 --> 00:07:50.899
 And the seven stars in his right hand,

00:07:50.959 --> 00:07:52.939
 And he's walking among the lampstands.

00:07:52.939 --> 00:07:53.939
 Okay.

00:07:54.579 --> 00:07:57.100
 It then goes into verse two, right,

00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.920
 Where Christ is acknowledging what Ephesus is doing, right?

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.600
 So what do we have?

00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.399
 I know your works, right?

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:08.199
 I know the things that you have done.

00:08:08.879 --> 00:08:10.680
 I know your toil, right?

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:13.740
 The pressure that they've been under,

00:08:13.819 --> 00:08:14.980
 The hard work, right?

00:08:15.079 --> 00:08:17.259
 And persevering through things.

00:08:17.319 --> 00:08:18.939
 Your patient endurance, right?

00:08:18.939 --> 00:08:21.579
 All these things are really good when you read it, right?

00:08:21.639 --> 00:08:22.839
 The good things that you're doing,

00:08:22.939 --> 00:08:24.920
 That you have persevered to the end.

00:08:24.980 --> 00:08:27.040
 You've been patiently waiting upon the Lord.

00:08:27.860 --> 00:08:28.879
 And then it goes on,

00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:32.720
 And how you cannot bear with those who are evil.

00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:34.879
 Well, that's interesting, right?

00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:37.759
 This church has a standard, as it were.

00:08:38.460 --> 00:08:41.460
 They know they're not going to compromise.

00:08:42.100 --> 00:08:44.500
 They're going to stand firm, as it were, right?

00:08:44.500 --> 00:08:46.480
 And many of us know people who are like this.

00:08:46.539 --> 00:08:48.379
 They're going to stand in their conviction.

00:08:48.559 --> 00:08:49.799
 They're going to stand in truth.

00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.720
 And they're not going to be shaken.

00:08:51.879 --> 00:08:52.820
 They're not going to waver.

00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.080
 And this is a good thing.

00:08:54.279 --> 00:08:55.879
 And, I mean, this is what Christ is saying.

00:08:57.639 --> 00:08:59.480
 So, they have a standard.

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:03.120
 But have tested those who call themselves apostles,

00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:04.740
 And are not.

00:09:05.539 --> 00:09:08.279
 Well, we can see here that something is going on.

00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:11.339
 That in having this standard,

00:09:12.139 --> 00:09:15.579
 There had to have been people who were claiming to be apostles.

00:09:16.699 --> 00:09:17.799
 And they weren't.

00:09:18.299 --> 00:09:20.819
 And it's important when we see this right away,

00:09:21.319 --> 00:09:27.100
 How important it is for when we think of apostles in the early church.

00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.339
 But we can think of pastors today, right?

00:09:29.339 --> 00:09:33.480
 And people who are coming in the name of Christ.

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:37.059
 Are they preaching and teaching from the word of God?

00:09:37.059 --> 00:09:38.459
 Are they bearing fruit?

00:09:38.599 --> 00:09:40.219
 Are they exhibiting the love of Christ?

00:09:40.519 --> 00:09:42.439
 We can see that in scripture,

00:09:42.719 --> 00:09:45.659
 Very often it speaks of testing the spirits.

00:09:46.199 --> 00:09:47.379
 Which is very important.

00:09:47.659 --> 00:09:49.199
 My friends, I have to tell you,

00:09:49.279 --> 00:09:51.959
 There's a reason why in your notes,

00:09:52.059 --> 00:09:54.799
 I always have cross-references within scripture.

00:09:55.539 --> 00:09:59.059
 I certainly hope to not be wrong in what I preach to you.

00:09:59.119 --> 00:10:01.319
 And to make sure that it is backed up by scripture.

00:10:02.199 --> 00:10:05.539
 Now, in that, not everyone is like that.

00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:06.239
 And that's fine.

00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:10.139
 But you have to be careful in the ability to discern, right?

00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.700
 So this is what Ephesus was doing.

00:10:11.879 --> 00:10:15.379
 They were discerning and they were able to call out evil for evil.

00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:17.379
 And they were able to know,

00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.299
 This guy is not a good apostle.

00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:21.039
 This guy is a false, right?

00:10:21.039 --> 00:10:22.279
 A fake or a phony, right?

00:10:22.480 --> 00:10:24.580
 You've probably heard the example before.

00:10:25.539 --> 00:10:27.500
 You hear it a lot on YouTube where

00:10:27.500 --> 00:10:31.960
 You know what a real dollar bill looks like and feels like, right?

00:10:32.960 --> 00:10:34.899
 Compared to funny money, right?

00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:36.940
 Or compared to something that is fake.

00:10:37.059 --> 00:10:38.460
 Well, when you're trained,

00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:40.639
 When you know the word,

00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.240
 When you are guided by the Holy Spirit,

00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:45.919
 The ability to discern right and wrong,

00:10:46.019 --> 00:10:48.399
 Truth from lies is a wonderful gift from God.

00:10:48.840 --> 00:10:51.679
 And we thank God for people who have that ability.

00:10:51.679 --> 00:10:54.299
 And it's important for us to grow in that ability.

00:10:55.019 --> 00:10:56.699
 And so you got to know the real thing

00:10:56.699 --> 00:10:58.959
 In order to know what the fake and phony things are, amen?

00:10:59.739 --> 00:11:01.039
 That's so important for us.

00:11:01.079 --> 00:11:03.439
 And so we can see that's what's happening, right?

00:11:04.059 --> 00:11:05.279
 They've tested those who've,

00:11:05.979 --> 00:11:07.239
 Now we don't know how many people

00:11:07.239 --> 00:11:08.539
 Called themselves apostles,

00:11:08.739 --> 00:11:09.639
 But it's enough for

00:11:09.639 --> 00:11:12.539
 This church to have a standard

00:11:12.539 --> 00:11:14.399
 And for Christ to commend them for that.

00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:16.059
 And found them to be false.

00:11:16.059 --> 00:11:17.719
 I'm going to test this apostle

00:11:17.719 --> 00:11:19.519
 And see if they're legit or not.

00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:22.519
 So it's going on in verse 3 then,

00:11:22.619 --> 00:11:24.479
 I know you are enduring patiently

00:11:24.479 --> 00:11:27.179
 And bearing up for my name's sake, right?

00:11:27.479 --> 00:11:29.859
 They are persevering.

00:11:30.179 --> 00:11:31.639
 They're not growing weary.

00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:33.279
 This could be a church that has been

00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.759
 Maybe dealt with spiritual warfare

00:11:36.759 --> 00:11:38.339
 Or attacks, right?

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:39.939
 These kind of things that have happened

00:11:39.939 --> 00:11:42.819
 That no matter what was happening at the time,

00:11:42.859 --> 00:11:43.919
 We don't know exactly,

00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:45.559
 They stood firm.

00:11:46.599 --> 00:11:48.479
 What a beautiful thing, right?

00:11:48.539 --> 00:11:51.019
 For a church to be able to not grow weary

00:11:51.019 --> 00:11:55.359
 And to just keep Christ

00:11:55.359 --> 00:11:58.639
 And keep Christ's truth in this case.

00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.559
 So all of this, when you're reading this,

00:12:01.619 --> 00:12:03.139
 You're like, okay, this is great.

00:12:03.839 --> 00:12:04.679
 They have a standard.

00:12:04.779 --> 00:12:05.679
 They're standing on truth.

00:12:05.739 --> 00:12:06.959
 What could possibly go wrong?

00:12:07.039 --> 00:12:09.159
 Well, we find that in verse 4 then,

00:12:09.939 --> 00:12:11.679
 I have this against you.

00:12:11.759 --> 00:12:14.799
 It's the but, right?

00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:16.399
 How many of us like the,

00:12:16.819 --> 00:12:18.199
 You did all this good thing, right?

00:12:18.259 --> 00:12:20.899
 If you ever had a job review, right?

00:12:21.439 --> 00:12:22.579
 Your annual review.

00:12:22.699 --> 00:12:24.279
 And you're like, you did all these things great.

00:12:26.459 --> 00:12:27.599
 But, right?

00:12:27.959 --> 00:12:30.639
 And then you're like, but you got to improve here, right?

00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:34.039
 So it's, it's, Christ is auditing here.

00:12:34.159 --> 00:12:36.059
 I have this against you.

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:40.759
 That you have abandoned the love you had at first.

00:12:42.019 --> 00:12:44.240
 You left, some translations say,

00:12:44.340 --> 00:12:46.240
 You have left your first love.

00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:49.240
 And this is talking about a departure.

00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:53.080
 A leaving from loving Christ.

00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:55.480
 We think about this.

00:12:55.560 --> 00:12:57.940
 Now, this kind of hits home when you think about it.

00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:02.200
 How sad it must be

00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:05.680
 To be, to get things, so many things right,

00:13:06.580 --> 00:13:11.180
 But to lose that love and devotion for Christ in the process.

00:13:11.179 --> 00:13:16.039
 In other words, they had their grip so tight,

00:13:17.079 --> 00:13:19.299
 You couldn't have a crowbar open it, right?

00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:21.559
 Nothing could get it open.

00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:27.659
 They focused so much on truth that they lost love.

00:13:28.239 --> 00:13:32.699
 The love for God and, quite frankly, the love for others.

00:13:34.059 --> 00:13:38.379
 What a tragic thing when you think about the other side.

00:13:38.379 --> 00:13:43.120
 And when we think about it, we can think of people,

00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:46.919
 And I'm not going to call out any person or any church for this,

00:13:46.980 --> 00:13:49.439
 But we can even think of churches that are like this.

00:13:49.639 --> 00:13:51.220
 Or people that are like this.

00:13:51.439 --> 00:13:53.299
 They're so focused on the truth,

00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:55.580
 And being correct, and being right.

00:13:57.100 --> 00:13:58.080
 What about the love?

00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:01.639
 It's a balance between the two,

00:14:01.779 --> 00:14:04.379
 And it's certainly a difficult one, isn't it?

00:14:05.340 --> 00:14:06.159
 Think about it.

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:08.779
 Well, I have to stand on the truth of the word of God.

00:14:09.339 --> 00:14:11.120
 And by golly, I'm going to stand on that.

00:14:12.360 --> 00:14:14.439
 But you can't have that grip so tight.

00:14:15.079 --> 00:14:19.779
 You have to be able to speak the truth in love.

00:14:21.379 --> 00:14:25.399
 We cannot forget that as we pursue the truth of God's word,

00:14:25.620 --> 00:14:28.699
 We've got to have the love of Christ in us,

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:32.180
 So that we can share it with other people.

00:14:33.680 --> 00:14:35.320
 So abandoning this love.

00:14:37.240 --> 00:14:39.140
 Then he goes on in verse 5.

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:42.200
 That R word.

00:14:43.140 --> 00:14:44.040
 What's the R word?

00:14:45.259 --> 00:14:45.740
 Remember.

00:14:47.379 --> 00:14:47.940
 Remember.

00:14:49.220 --> 00:14:50.080
 Remember what?

00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:52.080
 Remember from where you have fallen.

00:14:52.080 --> 00:14:55.620
 Repent and do the works you did at first, right?

00:14:55.720 --> 00:14:57.320
 And so, he's saying,

00:14:58.220 --> 00:14:58.620
 Remember.

00:14:59.800 --> 00:15:00.240
 Repent.

00:15:01.259 --> 00:15:02.379
 And do the works.

00:15:03.340 --> 00:15:04.360
 And what are those works?

00:15:04.460 --> 00:15:05.680
 It's to love God.

00:15:06.300 --> 00:15:07.580
 And to love other people.

00:15:07.580 --> 00:15:10.320
 I get this imagery.

00:15:11.920 --> 00:15:15.759
 How many of you remember when you first became a Christian?

00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:18.240
 You can raise your hand if you want.

00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:20.460
 Don't be bashful, right?

00:15:20.940 --> 00:15:23.200
 Or you know someone if it's been a while.

00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:25.680
 They first became a Christian.

00:15:26.980 --> 00:15:28.200
 And that love.

00:15:29.060 --> 00:15:31.800
 And that reliance and devotion to Christ.

00:15:32.700 --> 00:15:34.140
 When they're so excited.

00:15:34.139 --> 00:15:37.659
 And they may not have all the correct theology.

00:15:39.039 --> 00:15:40.100
 But yet, it's like,

00:15:40.240 --> 00:15:41.840
 I know Jesus loves me.

00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:44.620
 And I know that he died for me.

00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.019
 And that might be all they understand.

00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:49.939
 And I know that Jesus rose again from the dead.

00:15:49.980 --> 00:15:51.220
 And that's what I believe in.

00:15:52.539 --> 00:15:55.519
 That kind of excitement and devotion to Christ.

00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:58.279
 That's the kind of love

00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.179
 that we should have

00:16:00.179 --> 00:16:02.059
 towards Christ.

00:16:02.059 --> 00:16:04.439
 Much like how in Scripture,

00:16:05.319 --> 00:16:06.919
 when Christ says that we are to

00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:08.839
 be like children,

00:16:09.979 --> 00:16:12.619
 we are to come to the Lord

00:16:12.619 --> 00:16:13.939
 as a child.

00:16:14.079 --> 00:16:15.239
 What in the world?

00:16:15.319 --> 00:16:16.679
 I remember when I first read that,

00:16:16.739 --> 00:16:17.019
 I'm like,

00:16:17.139 --> 00:16:18.119
 you've got to be kidding me.

00:16:18.159 --> 00:16:18.399
 Like,

00:16:18.739 --> 00:16:20.079
 I don't want to be a child.

00:16:20.339 --> 00:16:20.559
 Right?

00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:22.839
 But you think of that

00:16:22.839 --> 00:16:24.779
 sense of awe and wonder

00:16:24.779 --> 00:16:26.059
 for who Christ is.

00:16:27.259 --> 00:16:29.079
 And that devotion to Him.

00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:33.180
 That is the first love.

00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:35.820
 That is beautiful

00:16:35.820 --> 00:16:37.800
 when we think of this.

00:16:37.920 --> 00:16:38.060
 So,

00:16:38.400 --> 00:16:39.960
 Christ is explaining

00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:41.160
 what needs to be done here.

00:16:41.420 --> 00:16:42.920
 And unfortunately,

00:16:43.259 --> 00:16:44.400
 there is a consequence

00:16:44.400 --> 00:16:46.759
 if you don't change.

00:16:47.620 --> 00:16:50.180
 If you focus so much on truth

00:16:50.180 --> 00:16:52.379
 and not on the love of Jesus Christ,

00:16:52.759 --> 00:16:54.740
 what does it say that will happen, church?

00:16:54.740 --> 00:16:54.860
 church,

00:16:55.620 --> 00:16:58.779
 the lampstand will be removed.

00:17:01.019 --> 00:17:02.139
 Unless you repent.

00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:03.200
 And let us remember

00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:04.460
 when we're thinking of repentance,

00:17:04.660 --> 00:17:06.160
 it's you've got to change your mind

00:17:06.160 --> 00:17:07.059
 for a second here.

00:17:07.900 --> 00:17:08.940
 Change your mind

00:17:08.940 --> 00:17:10.660
 and change your trajectory

00:17:10.660 --> 00:17:11.380
 as it were.

00:17:13.579 --> 00:17:14.720
 Isn't it interesting?

00:17:15.120 --> 00:17:16.579
 Kind of as a side note here.

00:17:16.579 --> 00:17:22.099
 There are some churches out there.

00:17:22.539 --> 00:17:25.059
 They're so focused on being right

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:26.740
 and the truth

00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:29.339
 that yet they die.

00:17:31.079 --> 00:17:32.259
 They don't grow.

00:17:32.559 --> 00:17:33.359
 Isn't that interesting?

00:17:35.159 --> 00:17:37.079
 It's important to have the truth.

00:17:37.179 --> 00:17:37.720
 And by golly,

00:17:37.799 --> 00:17:38.879
 we have the Word of God,

00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:40.919
 but not to get so nitpicky

00:17:40.919 --> 00:17:42.019
 on these things, right?

00:17:42.720 --> 00:17:44.259
 That's why I talk so much

00:17:44.259 --> 00:17:45.679
 about how important it is

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:47.440
 for us to understand.

00:17:47.600 --> 00:17:49.460
 We all come from different backgrounds

00:17:49.460 --> 00:17:50.860
 and different perspectives.

00:17:51.519 --> 00:17:52.660
 As I even mentioned

00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:53.220
 in the beginning

00:17:53.220 --> 00:17:55.100
 of us going through Revelation,

00:17:56.200 --> 00:17:58.640
 some of you are all millennial.

00:17:59.740 --> 00:18:01.840
 Some of you are post-millennial.

00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:04.140
 Some of you are pre-millennial.

00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:04.980
 Some of you don't even know

00:18:04.980 --> 00:18:05.860
 what these words are

00:18:05.860 --> 00:18:06.840
 and that's okay.

00:18:08.200 --> 00:18:08.640
 Right?

00:18:10.799 --> 00:18:12.640
 I mean, we even have

00:18:12.640 --> 00:18:15.100
 rapture versus non-rapture.

00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:17.100
 What matters,

00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:19.100
 instead of fighting each other

00:18:19.100 --> 00:18:22.080
 and dying on these hills,

00:18:22.460 --> 00:18:24.259
 we come together

00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:26.380
 as the body of Christ.

00:18:27.299 --> 00:18:28.680
 And here's the thing.

00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:31.519
 It's not about

00:18:31.519 --> 00:18:33.100
 how much you know.

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.320
 What matters is that

00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:35.640
 you know Jesus Christ.

00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:38.600
 That is what we've got to know.

00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:41.320
 We've got to have that relationship

00:18:41.320 --> 00:18:42.660
 with Jesus Christ.

00:18:42.660 --> 00:18:44.700
 And I know that

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:45.540
 as I say this,

00:18:45.620 --> 00:18:47.400
 it can be very difficult,

00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.620
 especially if we come

00:18:48.620 --> 00:18:49.720
 from that kind of background.

00:18:50.000 --> 00:18:51.060
 And I will be honest,

00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.720
 I was very attracted

00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:54.140
 to always being right,

00:18:54.380 --> 00:18:55.680
 having the right theology

00:18:55.680 --> 00:18:56.920
 and fighting all the people

00:18:56.920 --> 00:18:57.620
 that were wrong.

00:18:58.340 --> 00:18:59.100
 I admit,

00:18:59.180 --> 00:18:59.800
 and some of us,

00:18:59.860 --> 00:19:01.220
 we may identify with that.

00:19:02.300 --> 00:19:03.460
 But what matters is

00:19:03.460 --> 00:19:04.500
 let us not lose

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.400
 the love of Christ

00:19:05.400 --> 00:19:06.320
 in the process.

00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:08.120
 Okay?

00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:10.039
 You may have your conviction

00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:11.719
 and that's okay.

00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:13.959
 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:19:14.599 --> 00:19:17.239
 You may be at a certain place

00:19:17.239 --> 00:19:17.739
 in the Lord

00:19:17.739 --> 00:19:18.219
 where it's like,

00:19:18.259 --> 00:19:18.579
 you know what,

00:19:18.639 --> 00:19:19.279
 where I'm at,

00:19:19.379 --> 00:19:21.619
 I believe in the rapture.

00:19:21.979 --> 00:19:22.619
 That's fine.

00:19:23.399 --> 00:19:24.899
 You may be of the theology

00:19:24.899 --> 00:19:25.739
 that you're not.

00:19:26.539 --> 00:19:27.399
 And that's okay.

00:19:28.439 --> 00:19:29.139
 What matters

00:19:29.139 --> 00:19:30.479
 is we're not going to

00:19:30.479 --> 00:19:31.759
 attack and kill each other

00:19:31.759 --> 00:19:32.479
 in the process.

00:19:32.579 --> 00:19:32.779
 Amen?

00:19:33.279 --> 00:19:34.719
 Let's not do that, right?

00:19:34.720 --> 00:19:37.460
 Like it says in Scripture,

00:19:38.019 --> 00:19:40.319
 a house divided cannot stand, right?

00:19:40.519 --> 00:19:42.380
 We have got to be united.

00:19:42.940 --> 00:19:44.319
 And we keep the main thing,

00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:45.079
 the main thing,

00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:46.779
 and that is Jesus Christ,

00:19:46.900 --> 00:19:48.200
 the love that comes from Him,

00:19:48.620 --> 00:19:49.299
 and the truth

00:19:49.299 --> 00:19:50.779
 from the Word of God.

00:19:51.940 --> 00:19:53.039
 And so in here,

00:19:54.460 --> 00:19:56.360
 very interesting,

00:19:56.480 --> 00:19:57.380
 in verse 6 here,

00:19:58.380 --> 00:19:59.500
 yet this you have,

00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.420
 you hate the works

00:20:01.420 --> 00:20:02.579
 of the Nicolaitans,

00:20:02.579 --> 00:20:03.720
 which I also hate.

00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.880
 It's kind of random, right?

00:20:06.600 --> 00:20:07.480
 You read that,

00:20:07.559 --> 00:20:07.860
 you're like,

00:20:08.279 --> 00:20:08.620
 okay,

00:20:09.140 --> 00:20:10.640
 who are the Nicolaitans

00:20:10.640 --> 00:20:11.620
 and what in the world

00:20:11.620 --> 00:20:12.720
 is going on here, right?

00:20:13.539 --> 00:20:14.680
 So the Nicolaitans,

00:20:14.980 --> 00:20:16.779
 we don't know exactly

00:20:16.779 --> 00:20:18.620
 who they are

00:20:18.620 --> 00:20:19.339
 and what they did,

00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:20.259
 but it seems

00:20:20.259 --> 00:20:24.100
 that they were compromisers, right?

00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.700
 They were compromising the,

00:20:28.480 --> 00:20:30.000
 Christ also hates it,

00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:30.740
 and you find,

00:20:30.860 --> 00:20:31.960
 I have in your notes here,

00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.980
 it seems it was similar

00:20:34.980 --> 00:20:37.240
 to worshipping Baal,

00:20:37.600 --> 00:20:39.120
 it seems to indicate that

00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:42.200
 in terms of idolatry

00:20:42.200 --> 00:20:43.519
 and sexual immorality,

00:20:43.840 --> 00:20:44.140
 you know,

00:20:44.519 --> 00:20:46.160
 pretty heavy stuff, right?

00:20:47.319 --> 00:20:48.140
 And so,

00:20:48.340 --> 00:20:49.019
 but we don't know

00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:50.120
 the full scope of it,

00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:50.620
 nonetheless.

00:20:51.380 --> 00:20:52.880
 But this was an infiltration

00:20:53.500 --> 00:20:54.880
 in the church at Ephesus

00:20:54.880 --> 00:20:55.880
 to the point where

00:20:55.880 --> 00:20:57.640
 they're not going to let

00:20:57.640 --> 00:20:58.759
 that infiltration happen.

00:20:58.759 --> 00:21:00.299
 They're not going to let

00:21:00.299 --> 00:21:01.559
 sexual immorality

00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.579
 and they're not going to let

00:21:02.579 --> 00:21:04.480
 idolatry infiltrate the church.

00:21:05.000 --> 00:21:06.000
 And Christ is saying,

00:21:06.099 --> 00:21:06.240
 look,

00:21:06.680 --> 00:21:08.259
 I get it.

00:21:08.500 --> 00:21:09.319
 I hate them too.

00:21:09.740 --> 00:21:10.039
 But,

00:21:10.460 --> 00:21:11.559
 he says specifically,

00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:12.740
 do I hate the people

00:21:12.740 --> 00:21:14.019
 or do I hate the works?

00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:16.339
 Look at this,

00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:16.940
 very important.

00:21:18.579 --> 00:21:18.839
 Yeah,

00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:20.180
 it's important to note that,

00:21:20.339 --> 00:21:20.599
 right?

00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:22.480
 I hate the things

00:21:22.480 --> 00:21:23.599
 that they do,

00:21:24.259 --> 00:21:25.579
 not the people.

00:21:25.579 --> 00:21:27.819
 That's very interesting.

00:21:28.679 --> 00:21:30.399
 It's important for us to know,

00:21:30.500 --> 00:21:30.720
 right?

00:21:31.139 --> 00:21:33.039
 That it could be

00:21:33.039 --> 00:21:34.720
 they were infiltrating

00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:35.439
 or it could be

00:21:35.439 --> 00:21:36.759
 they were led astray,

00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:37.819
 these people.

00:21:37.879 --> 00:21:38.439
 We don't know

00:21:38.439 --> 00:21:39.559
 the full scope of that.

00:21:40.159 --> 00:21:41.159
 But in any case,

00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:43.299
 just as Ephesus,

00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:45.439
 we reject idolatry

00:21:45.439 --> 00:21:46.740
 and sexual immorality,

00:21:46.919 --> 00:21:48.599
 so that's important to note.

00:21:49.980 --> 00:21:50.779
 And finally,

00:21:50.879 --> 00:21:51.419
 at the end,

00:21:52.539 --> 00:21:53.579
 he who has an ear,

00:21:53.579 --> 00:21:54.500
 let him hear

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:55.619
 what the Spirit says

00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:56.259
 to the churches.

00:21:56.399 --> 00:21:57.419
 To the one who conquers,

00:21:57.779 --> 00:21:59.339
 I will grant to eat

00:21:59.339 --> 00:22:00.379
 of the tree of life.

00:22:00.639 --> 00:22:01.619
 Isn't that interesting?

00:22:02.439 --> 00:22:03.759
 The language that you find

00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:06.559
 even from the garden,

00:22:06.859 --> 00:22:07.159
 right,

00:22:08.019 --> 00:22:08.859
 is very similar

00:22:08.859 --> 00:22:09.539
 to what you find

00:22:09.539 --> 00:22:10.159
 in Revelation.

00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:14.419
 It's beautiful.

00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:16.699
 In all of this,

00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:21.799
 what can we learn from this?

00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:23.180
 Well, the first thing

00:22:23.180 --> 00:22:23.799
 is that,

00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:25.899
 church,

00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:28.119
 truth without love

00:22:28.119 --> 00:22:29.879
 cannot sustain

00:22:29.879 --> 00:22:30.720
 lasting what?

00:22:32.099 --> 00:22:32.700
 Right?

00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.039
 So these lampstands

00:22:34.039 --> 00:22:34.839
 are representing

00:22:34.839 --> 00:22:35.559
 their witness,

00:22:36.299 --> 00:22:37.419
 the church's witness.

00:22:38.139 --> 00:22:38.759
 So Ephesus

00:22:38.759 --> 00:22:40.859
 has truth,

00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:41.919
 they have a standard,

00:22:42.659 --> 00:22:43.659
 they're discerning,

00:22:43.779 --> 00:22:44.319
 they're diligent,

00:22:44.859 --> 00:22:45.119
 right?

00:22:45.180 --> 00:22:45.779
 They're focusing

00:22:45.779 --> 00:22:46.700
 on accuracy,

00:22:46.940 --> 00:22:48.139
 but yet Jesus rebukes

00:22:48.139 --> 00:22:49.279
 them because they need

00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:50.339
 the love of Christ,

00:22:50.339 --> 00:22:51.899
 and they need to love others.

00:22:52.980 --> 00:22:54.099
 And I'm reminded

00:22:54.099 --> 00:22:55.439
 in so many times

00:22:55.439 --> 00:22:58.139
 how without love,

00:22:58.459 --> 00:22:59.480
 we are nothing.

00:23:00.199 --> 00:23:01.740
 And we have got to have

00:23:01.740 --> 00:23:03.339
 the balance of that.

00:23:03.399 --> 00:23:04.240
 We have to have love

00:23:04.240 --> 00:23:05.119
 first and foremost,

00:23:05.259 --> 00:23:06.099
 and out of love

00:23:06.099 --> 00:23:08.539
 flows truth

00:23:08.539 --> 00:23:09.599
 that we speak

00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:10.419
 to other people.

00:23:10.420 --> 00:23:13.279
 And so,

00:23:13.480 --> 00:23:15.140
 this is leaving

00:23:15.140 --> 00:23:16.100
 the first love,

00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:17.560
 the love for Christ.

00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:19.680
 That devotion

00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:20.759
 has got to flow

00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:21.640
 from us

00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:23.200
 to other people.

00:23:23.800 --> 00:23:25.200
 And that's so important.

00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:25.759
 And a question

00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:26.980
 I want you to think about

00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:28.580
 is,

00:23:28.820 --> 00:23:30.320
 has my pursuit

00:23:30.320 --> 00:23:31.140
 of truth

00:23:31.140 --> 00:23:33.140
 or has my

00:23:33.140 --> 00:23:35.400
 desire for being right

00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:36.420
 overtaken

00:23:36.940 --> 00:23:37.539
 my love

00:23:37.539 --> 00:23:38.740
 of Jesus

00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:40.480
 and his people?

00:23:41.099 --> 00:23:41.759
 Ask yourself

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:42.440
 that question.

00:23:43.019 --> 00:23:43.819
 It's a difficult one.

00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:44.879
 I read that

00:23:44.879 --> 00:23:46.639
 as I was writing this.

00:23:46.759 --> 00:23:46.980
 I'm like,

00:23:47.240 --> 00:23:48.920
 I don't like that question,

00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:49.500
 but you got to think

00:23:49.500 --> 00:23:50.059
 about it, right?

00:23:51.420 --> 00:23:52.579
 And think for a moment

00:23:52.579 --> 00:23:53.039
 further

00:23:53.039 --> 00:23:55.099
 that Ephesus

00:23:55.099 --> 00:23:56.539
 was commended

00:23:56.539 --> 00:23:57.639
 for their

00:23:57.639 --> 00:23:58.659
 love

00:23:58.659 --> 00:23:59.619
 and truth

00:23:59.619 --> 00:24:00.879
 in Ephesians.

00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:02.440
 And yet,

00:24:02.539 --> 00:24:03.319
 later on,

00:24:04.259 --> 00:24:05.319
 it lost the love.

00:24:05.319 --> 00:24:06.879
 How interesting.

00:24:08.099 --> 00:24:08.619
 So,

00:24:08.740 --> 00:24:09.240
 you have to

00:24:09.240 --> 00:24:10.720
 constantly keep it at bay.

00:24:11.559 --> 00:24:12.359
 The second one

00:24:12.359 --> 00:24:14.059
 is we are cared for

00:24:14.059 --> 00:24:15.159
 and we are accountable

00:24:15.159 --> 00:24:15.740
 to who?

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:17.519
 To Christ, right?

00:24:17.939 --> 00:24:19.139
 That Christ protects us.

00:24:19.619 --> 00:24:20.679
 He walks with us

00:24:20.679 --> 00:24:21.139
 in our

00:24:21.139 --> 00:24:23.119
 journey in faith

00:24:23.119 --> 00:24:23.740
 as well as

00:24:23.740 --> 00:24:24.740
 when we think of churches,

00:24:24.879 --> 00:24:26.419
 he journeys with us

00:24:26.419 --> 00:24:26.980
 corporately.

00:24:27.759 --> 00:24:28.919
 And it's important

00:24:28.919 --> 00:24:30.559
 that just as a person

00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:31.919
 can lose their way

00:24:31.919 --> 00:24:32.799
 and get lost,

00:24:33.200 --> 00:24:34.000
 so too

00:24:34.000 --> 00:24:34.960
 can a church,

00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:35.759
 at least that's what

00:24:35.759 --> 00:24:36.319
 we're seeing

00:24:36.319 --> 00:24:37.539
 here in Revelation.

00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:41.039
 If a church

00:24:41.039 --> 00:24:42.019
 loses their way

00:24:42.019 --> 00:24:42.680
 and refuses

00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:44.299
 to change their mind,

00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:45.680
 refuses to repent,

00:24:45.859 --> 00:24:46.059
 then

00:24:46.059 --> 00:24:47.740
 the lampstand

00:24:47.740 --> 00:24:48.660
 can be removed,

00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:49.740
 meaning the loss

00:24:49.740 --> 00:24:50.960
 of corporate witness.

00:24:51.920 --> 00:24:52.180
 So,

00:24:52.240 --> 00:24:53.079
 some people may ask,

00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:53.240
 well,

00:24:53.279 --> 00:24:53.839
 is the loss

00:24:53.839 --> 00:24:54.619
 of a lampstand,

00:24:54.740 --> 00:24:55.500
 is that loss

00:24:55.500 --> 00:24:56.200
 of salvation?

00:24:57.339 --> 00:24:57.539
 Well,

00:24:57.579 --> 00:24:57.799
 no.

00:24:58.279 --> 00:24:59.039
 It's the loss

00:24:59.039 --> 00:24:59.759
 of your witness,

00:24:59.880 --> 00:25:00.039
 though.

00:25:00.740 --> 00:25:01.680
 There are some people

00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:02.860
 that are saved,

00:25:03.160 --> 00:25:05.039
 but yet they don't

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:07.240
 exhibit godly living.

00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:09.200
 You may know

00:25:09.200 --> 00:25:10.080
 someone like that.

00:25:10.740 --> 00:25:11.880
 Someone that has been

00:25:11.880 --> 00:25:12.640
 saved by grace

00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:13.180
 through faith,

00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:14.080
 and yet their witness

00:25:14.080 --> 00:25:14.600
 is not,

00:25:14.820 --> 00:25:16.920
 it's not shining brightly,

00:25:17.140 --> 00:25:17.860
 as it were.

00:25:18.820 --> 00:25:19.420
 And so,

00:25:19.600 --> 00:25:21.180
 in the case of the church,

00:25:21.940 --> 00:25:22.840
 losing that witness

00:25:22.840 --> 00:25:23.660
 means the church

00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:24.940
 will essentially die.

00:25:26.240 --> 00:25:27.460
 And what a sad thing,

00:25:27.460 --> 00:25:28.980
 especially when we look

00:25:28.980 --> 00:25:29.700
 at statistics

00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:30.880
 and we see about

00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:32.019
 how many churches

00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:32.819
 are dying.

00:25:33.640 --> 00:25:34.759
 And I hate to think,

00:25:35.220 --> 00:25:36.420
 is this a pattern

00:25:36.420 --> 00:25:37.299
 that we have seen

00:25:37.299 --> 00:25:37.900
 in churches?

00:25:39.539 --> 00:25:40.819
 I think so.

00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:42.380
 So,

00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:43.340
 we've got to remember

00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:45.240
 the truth

00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:46.180
 of the word of God,

00:25:46.259 --> 00:25:46.980
 but we cannot

00:25:46.980 --> 00:25:49.079
 lose that love

00:25:49.079 --> 00:25:50.299
 in the process.

00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:52.160
 And then,

00:25:52.259 --> 00:25:53.180
 the Nicolaitans,

00:25:53.279 --> 00:25:53.500
 then,

00:25:54.340 --> 00:25:55.500
 it seems to

00:25:55.500 --> 00:25:57.160
 be some sort of

00:25:57.160 --> 00:25:58.460
 infiltration

00:25:58.460 --> 00:25:59.400
 or change

00:25:59.400 --> 00:25:59.920
 of people

00:25:59.920 --> 00:26:00.779
 within the church,

00:26:00.860 --> 00:26:01.640
 whatever it is,

00:26:02.200 --> 00:26:04.080
 that

00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:06.500
 we do stand firm

00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.759
 in the word of God.

00:26:07.820 --> 00:26:08.600
 We don't compromise,

00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:09.880
 but we also

00:26:09.880 --> 00:26:10.920
 don't lose that love.

00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:12.900
 The third thing,

00:26:13.019 --> 00:26:13.180
 then,

00:26:13.240 --> 00:26:13.519
 is,

00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:14.940
 if we lose

00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:15.720
 our way,

00:26:16.660 --> 00:26:17.120
 remember,

00:26:17.740 --> 00:26:18.060
 repent,

00:26:18.759 --> 00:26:19.600
 and do

00:26:19.600 --> 00:26:20.800
 the first works,

00:26:21.220 --> 00:26:22.480
 which is to love.

00:26:23.340 --> 00:26:23.900
 Remember

00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:24.640
 that devotion

00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:25.300
 you had.

00:26:25.820 --> 00:26:26.980
 Just as I gave you

00:26:26.980 --> 00:26:27.620
 that imagery

00:26:27.620 --> 00:26:28.799
 of someone

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:29.539
 who just

00:26:29.539 --> 00:26:30.740
 became a Christian

00:26:30.740 --> 00:26:32.200
 and that excitement,

00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:33.880
 that dedication,

00:26:34.759 --> 00:26:35.559
 that enthusiasm,

00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:36.240
 right?

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:38.279
 I don't know about you,

00:26:38.360 --> 00:26:39.299
 but when I see

00:26:39.299 --> 00:26:39.880
 a new believer,

00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:40.660
 it makes me think

00:26:40.660 --> 00:26:41.440
 I don't ever want

00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.539
 to be so old

00:26:44.539 --> 00:26:45.339
 that I'm no longer

00:26:45.339 --> 00:26:46.680
 excited about Christ.

00:26:47.680 --> 00:26:48.519
 I want to be

00:26:48.519 --> 00:26:49.460
 just as enthusiastic

00:26:49.460 --> 00:26:50.460
 as a new believer

00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:50.980
 and I don't want

00:26:50.980 --> 00:26:51.740
 to lose sight of that.

00:26:51.799 --> 00:26:52.720
 And I hope for us,

00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:54.319
 we don't lose sight

00:26:54.319 --> 00:26:54.860
 of that either.

00:26:54.859 --> 00:26:57.139
 we have got

00:26:57.139 --> 00:26:58.259
 to keep that devotion.

00:26:59.259 --> 00:27:00.199
 Remember the former

00:27:00.199 --> 00:27:00.740
 devotion,

00:27:01.399 --> 00:27:01.679
 right?

00:27:01.719 --> 00:27:02.299
 When we're talking

00:27:02.299 --> 00:27:03.000
 about repentance,

00:27:03.219 --> 00:27:03.919
 let us change

00:27:03.919 --> 00:27:04.579
 our mind.

00:27:04.899 --> 00:27:05.639
 Let us change

00:27:05.639 --> 00:27:06.279
 our trajectory

00:27:06.279 --> 00:27:07.899
 and let us do

00:27:07.899 --> 00:27:08.779
 the first works,

00:27:08.879 --> 00:27:09.699
 the love that was

00:27:09.699 --> 00:27:10.579
 once recognized.

00:27:11.859 --> 00:27:12.959
 I want to take a moment

00:27:12.959 --> 00:27:13.759
 before we go

00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:14.559
 into the application.

00:27:14.719 --> 00:27:15.419
 I want us to turn

00:27:15.419 --> 00:27:16.759
 to Jeremiah chapter 2.

00:27:16.979 --> 00:27:18.839
 It's on page 746.

00:27:19.139 --> 00:27:19.719
 I want to show you

00:27:19.719 --> 00:27:20.240
 something here.

00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:22.720
 this ties into

00:27:22.720 --> 00:27:24.420
 this idea of

00:27:24.420 --> 00:27:26.980
 love and devotion,

00:27:27.220 --> 00:27:28.299
 remembering that

00:27:28.299 --> 00:27:29.759
 love of Christ.

00:27:30.779 --> 00:27:32.420
 So Jeremiah chapter 2.

00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:41.180
 And we'll go from

00:27:41.180 --> 00:27:45.920
 Jeremiah 2,

00:27:46.079 --> 00:27:47.200
 page 746

00:27:47.200 --> 00:27:49.720
 in your ESVPU Bibles.

00:27:56.720 --> 00:27:57.680
 Are we all there?

00:27:58.480 --> 00:27:59.220
 All right.

00:28:00.059 --> 00:28:01.200
 We're going to read

00:28:01.200 --> 00:28:01.580
 those

00:28:01.580 --> 00:28:04.299
 five verses.

00:28:04.700 --> 00:28:04.819
 Okay?

00:28:05.539 --> 00:28:06.740
 Verses 1 through 5.

00:28:07.120 --> 00:28:07.960
 Let's read it together,

00:28:08.059 --> 00:28:08.319
 church.

00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:10.279
 The word of the Lord

00:28:10.279 --> 00:28:11.220
 came to me

00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:11.740
 saying,

00:28:12.380 --> 00:28:13.200
 Go and proclaim

00:28:13.200 --> 00:28:13.960
 in the hearing

00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:14.660
 of Jerusalem,

00:28:15.319 --> 00:28:16.200
 thus says the Lord.

00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:16.960
 And this is important.

00:28:16.960 --> 00:28:17.759
 This next one.

00:28:18.400 --> 00:28:19.019
 I remember

00:28:19.019 --> 00:28:20.039
 the devotion

00:28:20.039 --> 00:28:21.079
 of your youth,

00:28:21.579 --> 00:28:22.180
 your love

00:28:22.180 --> 00:28:22.860
 as a bride,

00:28:23.400 --> 00:28:24.480
 how you followed me

00:28:24.480 --> 00:28:25.160
 in the wilderness,

00:28:25.960 --> 00:28:27.160
 in a land not sown.

00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:29.079
 Israel was holy

00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:29.720
 to the Lord,

00:28:30.160 --> 00:28:31.000
 the first fruits

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:31.840
 of his harvest.

00:28:32.400 --> 00:28:33.559
 All who ate of it

00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:34.819
 and culted guilt.

00:28:35.400 --> 00:28:36.440
 Disaster came

00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:37.180
 upon them,

00:28:37.400 --> 00:28:38.220
 declares the Lord.

00:28:39.019 --> 00:28:40.100
 Hear the word

00:28:40.100 --> 00:28:40.700
 of the Lord,

00:28:41.120 --> 00:28:42.160
 O house of Jacob,

00:28:42.579 --> 00:28:43.579
 and all the clans

00:28:43.579 --> 00:28:44.620
 of the house of Israel.

00:28:45.259 --> 00:28:46.299
 Thus says the Lord.

00:28:46.299 --> 00:28:47.819
 What wrong

00:28:47.819 --> 00:28:48.539
 did your fathers

00:28:48.539 --> 00:28:49.299
 find in me

00:28:49.299 --> 00:28:50.299
 that they went

00:28:50.299 --> 00:28:51.279
 far from me

00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:52.859
 and went after

00:28:52.859 --> 00:28:53.839
 worthlessness

00:28:53.839 --> 00:28:55.740
 and became worthless?

00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.519
 It's showing

00:28:57.519 --> 00:28:59.659
 very similar imagery.

00:29:00.659 --> 00:29:02.240
 The most important part

00:29:02.240 --> 00:29:03.960
 is that verse 2 here,

00:29:04.799 --> 00:29:05.619
 that devotion.

00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:07.220
 Right?

00:29:07.279 --> 00:29:07.819
 Because we think

00:29:07.819 --> 00:29:08.440
 of Christ

00:29:08.440 --> 00:29:10.200
 as the bridegroom

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:11.519
 and the church

00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:12.700
 as the bride,

00:29:13.220 --> 00:29:14.920
 very similar language

00:29:14.920 --> 00:29:16.920
 in how important

00:29:16.920 --> 00:29:18.120
 it is for us

00:29:18.120 --> 00:29:19.539
 to keep that

00:29:19.539 --> 00:29:20.860
 young devotion

00:29:20.860 --> 00:29:21.500
 as it were.

00:29:22.180 --> 00:29:22.620
 Right?

00:29:22.660 --> 00:29:23.340
 When you think of

00:29:23.340 --> 00:29:24.440
 a bride and

00:29:24.440 --> 00:29:25.220
 a groom,

00:29:26.019 --> 00:29:26.720
 that love

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:27.279
 and affection,

00:29:27.460 --> 00:29:28.059
 that devotion,

00:29:28.940 --> 00:29:29.720
 very similar

00:29:29.720 --> 00:29:31.240
 how we should have

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:32.200
 love and devotion.

00:29:32.539 --> 00:29:33.660
 Not in a romantic

00:29:33.660 --> 00:29:34.259
 sense,

00:29:34.860 --> 00:29:35.539
 but in

00:29:35.539 --> 00:29:38.080
 a spiritual sense

00:29:38.080 --> 00:29:39.440
 towards the Lord.

00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:42.200
 So that's very,

00:29:42.299 --> 00:29:43.180
 very interesting

00:29:43.180 --> 00:29:43.980
 in that connection.

00:29:44.240 --> 00:29:45.400
 And when you think

00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:46.080
 about this,

00:29:48.340 --> 00:29:49.019
 I want you to think

00:29:49.019 --> 00:29:50.720
 if Jesus came

00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:52.700
 to this church today,

00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.120
 what would an audit

00:29:54.120 --> 00:29:54.740
 look like?

00:29:55.960 --> 00:29:56.620
 You know,

00:29:56.700 --> 00:29:57.940
 I certainly hope,

00:29:58.440 --> 00:29:58.680
 yes,

00:29:58.720 --> 00:29:59.460
 we would be standing

00:29:59.460 --> 00:30:00.720
 on the truth

00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:01.680
 of the word,

00:30:02.320 --> 00:30:03.360
 but I certainly hope

00:30:03.360 --> 00:30:04.519
 we would be commended

00:30:04.519 --> 00:30:06.039
 for our ability

00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:06.500
 to love.

00:30:07.619 --> 00:30:08.480
 And also,

00:30:08.680 --> 00:30:09.940
 we have to think,

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:13.220
 maybe for you,

00:30:14.000 --> 00:30:15.000
 you can think

00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:15.900
 of that devotion.

00:30:16.819 --> 00:30:17.759
 And how can you

00:30:17.759 --> 00:30:18.279
 think about,

00:30:18.859 --> 00:30:19.700
 take some time

00:30:19.700 --> 00:30:20.359
 to think of that

00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:20.799
 devotion

00:30:20.799 --> 00:30:22.539
 you once had

00:30:22.539 --> 00:30:24.599
 towards the Lord.

00:30:24.599 --> 00:30:26.959
 And if you haven't

00:30:26.959 --> 00:30:28.359
 had any devotion

00:30:28.359 --> 00:30:29.559
 like that to the Lord,

00:30:30.199 --> 00:30:30.500
 well,

00:30:30.539 --> 00:30:30.899
 certainly,

00:30:31.559 --> 00:30:33.619
 ask other people.

00:30:35.000 --> 00:30:36.059
 Learn their testimony

00:30:36.059 --> 00:30:37.119
 and how on fire

00:30:37.119 --> 00:30:37.599
 they were

00:30:37.599 --> 00:30:38.579
 and how God

00:30:38.579 --> 00:30:39.799
 changed their life.

00:30:41.199 --> 00:30:41.819
 And so,

00:30:41.919 --> 00:30:42.339
 in this,

00:30:43.219 --> 00:30:44.019
 let's go to the

00:30:44.019 --> 00:30:45.059
 application then.

00:30:45.759 --> 00:30:46.799
 How should we respond?

00:30:47.399 --> 00:30:48.559
 What do we do

00:30:48.559 --> 00:30:49.319
 about this?

00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:49.759
 Well,

00:30:50.980 --> 00:30:51.779
 the first is

00:30:51.779 --> 00:30:54.419
 keep your first love

00:30:54.419 --> 00:30:55.039
 for Jesus,

00:30:55.259 --> 00:30:55.480
 right?

00:30:56.539 --> 00:30:57.319
 You've got to keep

00:30:57.319 --> 00:30:58.220
 devotion to Him.

00:30:59.019 --> 00:31:00.159
 We love God

00:31:00.159 --> 00:31:00.839
 and we love

00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:02.099
 others,

00:31:02.200 --> 00:31:02.359
 right?

00:31:02.399 --> 00:31:03.460
 The great commandment.

00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:05.559
 We keep the Word

00:31:05.559 --> 00:31:07.259
 in our hearts.

00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:09.259
 We keep His,

00:31:09.579 --> 00:31:10.480
 we follow in the

00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:11.480
 footsteps of Christ

00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:12.299
 and we have that

00:31:12.299 --> 00:31:13.039
 sense of awe

00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:13.519
 and wonder

00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:15.939
 of who Christ is

00:31:15.939 --> 00:31:17.439
 and think of that

00:31:17.439 --> 00:31:17.819
 imagery

00:31:17.819 --> 00:31:19.659
 as we went over

00:31:19.659 --> 00:31:20.419
 in Jeremiah.

00:31:21.679 --> 00:31:22.119
 And let

00:31:22.119 --> 00:31:23.359
 your love

00:31:23.359 --> 00:31:24.019
 for Christ

00:31:24.019 --> 00:31:25.399
 be shown

00:31:25.399 --> 00:31:26.059
 to others

00:31:26.059 --> 00:31:28.139
 in the words

00:31:28.139 --> 00:31:28.960
 that you speak,

00:31:29.659 --> 00:31:30.439
 in the actions

00:31:30.439 --> 00:31:31.200
 that you do,

00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:33.480
 just even in

00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.519
 your very presence

00:31:34.519 --> 00:31:35.339
 and visiting

00:31:35.339 --> 00:31:36.119
 other people.

00:31:36.819 --> 00:31:37.919
 Let that love

00:31:37.919 --> 00:31:38.559
 radiate.

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:40.899
 The second thing

00:31:40.899 --> 00:31:41.220
 then

00:31:41.220 --> 00:31:42.579
 is

00:31:42.579 --> 00:31:44.039
 from love

00:31:44.039 --> 00:31:45.019
 flows

00:31:45.019 --> 00:31:45.799
 truth

00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:46.980
 and witness.

00:31:47.819 --> 00:31:49.539
 we have to

00:31:49.539 --> 00:31:50.419
 think how God

00:31:50.419 --> 00:31:51.059
 loved us

00:31:51.059 --> 00:31:51.740
 first

00:31:51.740 --> 00:31:53.539
 and we are

00:31:53.539 --> 00:31:54.179
 saved.

00:31:55.179 --> 00:31:56.279
 We're saved by

00:31:56.279 --> 00:31:56.799
 grace through

00:31:56.799 --> 00:31:57.159
 faith.

00:31:57.299 --> 00:31:57.639
 Essentially,

00:31:57.819 --> 00:31:58.299
 we're saved

00:31:58.299 --> 00:31:59.039
 because God

00:31:59.039 --> 00:31:59.799
 loves us

00:31:59.799 --> 00:32:01.279
 and we are

00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:01.879
 called

00:32:01.879 --> 00:32:02.960
 to love

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:03.679
 like Christ.

00:32:04.819 --> 00:32:05.859
 We think of

00:32:05.859 --> 00:32:06.819
 truth and witness,

00:32:06.939 --> 00:32:07.079
 right?

00:32:07.119 --> 00:32:07.919
 We have to speak

00:32:07.919 --> 00:32:08.500
 the truth

00:32:08.500 --> 00:32:09.240
 in love.

00:32:09.679 --> 00:32:10.799
 We have to

00:32:10.799 --> 00:32:12.500
 witness

00:32:12.500 --> 00:32:13.740
 to other people.

00:32:14.619 --> 00:32:15.179
 Telling the

00:32:15.179 --> 00:32:16.119
 gospel story

00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:17.099
 or even

00:32:17.099 --> 00:32:17.599
 our own

00:32:17.599 --> 00:32:18.039
 personal

00:32:18.039 --> 00:32:18.659
 journey in

00:32:18.659 --> 00:32:19.000
 Christ

00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:19.379
 and how

00:32:19.379 --> 00:32:19.919
 God has

00:32:19.919 --> 00:32:20.379
 worked in

00:32:20.379 --> 00:32:20.919
 our life.

00:32:21.479 --> 00:32:21.799
 How God

00:32:21.799 --> 00:32:22.639
 has transformed

00:32:22.639 --> 00:32:23.119
 us

00:32:23.119 --> 00:32:24.139
 from the

00:32:24.139 --> 00:32:24.819
 inside out.

00:32:26.399 --> 00:32:27.239
 We think

00:32:27.239 --> 00:32:27.799
 about this.

00:32:27.859 --> 00:32:28.059
 It's

00:32:28.059 --> 00:32:29.119
 important for

00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:29.399
 us.

00:32:31.399 --> 00:32:32.079
 Let us

00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:32.659
 grow in

00:32:32.659 --> 00:32:33.059
 Christ

00:32:33.059 --> 00:32:33.899
 and let us

00:32:33.899 --> 00:32:34.399
 bear

00:32:34.399 --> 00:32:35.259
 fruit.

00:32:37.479 --> 00:32:38.000
 Live

00:32:38.000 --> 00:32:38.859
 as an

00:32:38.859 --> 00:32:39.379
 ambassador

00:32:39.379 --> 00:32:40.500
 for Christ

00:32:40.500 --> 00:32:41.819
 and be

00:32:41.819 --> 00:32:42.639
 a messenger

00:32:42.639 --> 00:32:43.299
 as it were.

00:32:43.719 --> 00:32:44.279
 One who's

00:32:44.279 --> 00:32:44.960
 not ashamed.

00:32:45.839 --> 00:32:46.700
 It's so

00:32:46.700 --> 00:32:47.379
 important for

00:32:47.379 --> 00:32:47.539
 us.

00:32:47.639 --> 00:32:47.839
 Yes,

00:32:47.940 --> 00:32:48.399
 by all

00:32:48.399 --> 00:32:48.660
 means,

00:32:48.759 --> 00:32:49.180
 I'm not

00:32:49.180 --> 00:32:50.240
 saying let's

00:32:50.240 --> 00:32:50.920
 not have

00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:51.559
 the truth.

00:32:52.220 --> 00:32:53.200
 I'm saying

00:32:53.200 --> 00:32:54.339
 we have

00:32:54.339 --> 00:32:54.859
 the truth.

00:32:55.240 --> 00:32:55.839
 We've also

00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:56.299
 got to have

00:32:56.299 --> 00:32:56.779
 the love.

00:32:57.460 --> 00:32:57.859
 We've got to

00:32:57.859 --> 00:32:58.299
 have both

00:32:58.299 --> 00:32:58.639
 of these

00:32:58.639 --> 00:32:59.559
 things with

00:32:59.559 --> 00:32:59.920
 us.

00:33:01.599 --> 00:33:02.500
 And so

00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:04.220
 be a

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:04.639
 witness,

00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:06.180
 right?

00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:08.240
 Be a

00:33:08.240 --> 00:33:08.500
 witness.

00:33:08.700 --> 00:33:09.099
 Share the

00:33:09.099 --> 00:33:09.539
 good news.

00:33:09.700 --> 00:33:10.059
 Invite

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:10.759
 someone to

00:33:10.759 --> 00:33:11.139
 church.

00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.539
 Maybe you

00:33:12.539 --> 00:33:13.099
 need to share

00:33:13.099 --> 00:33:13.819
 in your

00:33:13.819 --> 00:33:14.319
 testimony.

00:33:16.000 --> 00:33:16.639
 Maybe you

00:33:16.639 --> 00:33:16.899
 need to

00:33:16.899 --> 00:33:17.299
 share how

00:33:17.299 --> 00:33:17.699
 God's

00:33:17.699 --> 00:33:18.319
 moving in

00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:18.839
 your life.

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:20.179
 And let

00:33:20.179 --> 00:33:20.679
 the things

00:33:20.679 --> 00:33:21.019
 that you

00:33:21.019 --> 00:33:22.059
 do glorify

00:33:22.059 --> 00:33:22.779
 the Father.

00:33:25.019 --> 00:33:25.519
 And

00:33:25.519 --> 00:33:25.919
 finally,

00:33:26.399 --> 00:33:27.519
 the last

00:33:27.519 --> 00:33:28.219
 one is to

00:33:28.219 --> 00:33:28.839
 guard the

00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:29.480
 lampstand

00:33:29.480 --> 00:33:31.119
 with truth

00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:32.480
 and love.

00:33:33.339 --> 00:33:34.079
 Because our

00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:34.579
 testimony,

00:33:34.919 --> 00:33:35.039
 right,

00:33:35.099 --> 00:33:35.939
 our witness

00:33:35.939 --> 00:33:36.639
 matters.

00:33:37.240 --> 00:33:38.119
 Our personal

00:33:38.119 --> 00:33:38.619
 witness,

00:33:39.159 --> 00:33:40.000
 but also our

00:33:40.000 --> 00:33:40.959
 corporate witness.

00:33:40.960 --> 00:33:42.100
 we have to

00:33:42.100 --> 00:33:42.600
 guard it and

00:33:42.600 --> 00:33:43.240
 protect it.

00:33:44.000 --> 00:33:44.860
 We have to

00:33:44.860 --> 00:33:46.039
 live in love

00:33:46.039 --> 00:33:46.660
 like Christ,

00:33:46.759 --> 00:33:47.400
 but we also,

00:33:47.539 --> 00:33:47.920
 we don't

00:33:47.920 --> 00:33:48.500
 deviate from

00:33:48.500 --> 00:33:49.140
 truth either.

00:33:49.860 --> 00:33:50.640
 We have to

00:33:50.640 --> 00:33:51.000
 keep the

00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:52.259
 truth in

00:33:52.259 --> 00:33:52.840
 us and

00:33:52.840 --> 00:33:53.460
 protect it.

00:33:54.559 --> 00:33:55.180
 It's a

00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:55.799
 reminder for

00:33:55.799 --> 00:33:56.400
 us to not

00:33:56.400 --> 00:33:56.819
 let the

00:33:56.819 --> 00:33:57.360
 world

00:33:57.360 --> 00:33:59.319
 infiltrate our

00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:00.220
 hearts or

00:34:00.220 --> 00:34:00.940
 our minds

00:34:00.940 --> 00:34:02.700
 and to not

00:34:02.700 --> 00:34:03.420
 infiltrate

00:34:03.420 --> 00:34:04.579
 our

00:34:04.579 --> 00:34:05.160
 fellowship.

00:34:07.019 --> 00:34:07.539
 Instead,

00:34:08.179 --> 00:34:09.000
 let us be

00:34:09.000 --> 00:34:09.920
 transformed by

00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:11.380
 Christ and

00:34:11.380 --> 00:34:11.719
 let us

00:34:11.719 --> 00:34:13.039
 influence our

00:34:13.039 --> 00:34:13.539
 friends,

00:34:14.280 --> 00:34:14.960
 our family,

00:34:15.619 --> 00:34:16.519
 the community,

00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:17.980
 and let us

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.380
 make a

00:34:18.380 --> 00:34:18.960
 difference in

00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:19.460
 the name of

00:34:19.460 --> 00:34:19.900
 Christ.

00:34:22.440 --> 00:34:23.139
 And it's

00:34:23.139 --> 00:34:23.860
 also important,

00:34:24.019 --> 00:34:24.519
 as we found

00:34:24.519 --> 00:34:24.780
 in the

00:34:24.780 --> 00:34:25.539
 Nicolaitans,

00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:29.840
 that at

00:34:29.840 --> 00:34:30.619
 times,

00:34:30.960 --> 00:34:31.599
 people will

00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:32.400
 do things

00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:34.099
 that are

00:34:34.099 --> 00:34:34.440
 evil.

00:34:35.320 --> 00:34:36.159
 We hate

00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:36.679
 the things

00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:37.039
 that they

00:34:37.039 --> 00:34:37.360
 do.

00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:39.320
 But we

00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:40.680
 still offer

00:34:40.680 --> 00:34:43.000
 love to

00:34:43.000 --> 00:34:43.500
 our enemies.

00:34:44.420 --> 00:34:45.280
 We still

00:34:45.280 --> 00:34:45.840
 extend that,

00:34:45.900 --> 00:34:46.180
 and that's

00:34:46.180 --> 00:34:47.019
 very difficult.

00:34:48.300 --> 00:34:49.039
 Love our

00:34:49.039 --> 00:34:49.360
 enemies?

00:34:50.000 --> 00:34:50.559
 A lot of

00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:50.840
 us would

00:34:50.840 --> 00:34:51.059
 say,

00:34:51.120 --> 00:34:51.360
 I'd rather

00:34:51.360 --> 00:34:51.700
 not.

00:34:52.260 --> 00:34:52.980
 Let's be

00:34:52.980 --> 00:34:53.680
 honest here,

00:34:54.079 --> 00:34:54.400
 right?

00:34:55.820 --> 00:34:56.500
 But we

00:34:56.500 --> 00:34:57.019
 think about

00:34:57.019 --> 00:34:57.220
 that,

00:34:57.300 --> 00:34:57.860
 how Christ

00:34:57.860 --> 00:34:58.300
 was saying,

00:34:58.480 --> 00:34:58.880
 I don't

00:34:58.880 --> 00:34:59.460
 like what

00:34:59.460 --> 00:34:59.940
 they are

00:34:59.940 --> 00:35:00.519
 doing.

00:35:02.500 --> 00:35:03.400
 Even when

00:35:03.400 --> 00:35:04.059
 Christ was on

00:35:04.059 --> 00:35:04.539
 the cross

00:35:04.539 --> 00:35:04.940
 saying,

00:35:04.940 --> 00:35:06.260
 Father,

00:35:06.440 --> 00:35:07.700
 forgive them

00:35:07.700 --> 00:35:09.119
 for they

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:09.579
 know not

00:35:09.579 --> 00:35:10.159
 what they

00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:11.300
 do.

00:35:12.019 --> 00:35:12.360
 Right?

00:35:13.220 --> 00:35:13.920
 So it's

00:35:13.920 --> 00:35:14.519
 important for

00:35:14.519 --> 00:35:15.059
 us to

00:35:15.059 --> 00:35:19.099
 love the

00:35:19.099 --> 00:35:19.320
 sinner,

00:35:19.880 --> 00:35:20.900
 hate the

00:35:20.900 --> 00:35:21.079
 sinner.

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:23.059
 You've got

00:35:23.059 --> 00:35:23.380
 to know the

00:35:23.380 --> 00:35:23.780
 difference.

00:35:24.679 --> 00:35:25.220
 How many of

00:35:25.220 --> 00:35:25.639
 us know

00:35:25.639 --> 00:35:26.340
 they hate

00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:26.760
 both the

00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:27.119
 sin and

00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:27.460
 the sinner,

00:35:27.539 --> 00:35:27.760
 right?

00:35:28.619 --> 00:35:29.240
 Don't raise

00:35:29.240 --> 00:35:29.539
 your hand,

00:35:29.599 --> 00:35:29.820
 please.

00:35:30.280 --> 00:35:30.720
 Right?

00:35:31.260 --> 00:35:32.059
 We may know

00:35:32.059 --> 00:35:32.599
 someone like

00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:33.179
 that, and I

00:35:33.179 --> 00:35:33.900
 pray it's none

00:35:33.900 --> 00:35:34.240
 of y'all,

00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:34.880
 right?

00:35:36.740 --> 00:35:37.559
 We hate

00:35:37.559 --> 00:35:38.599
 the sin.

00:35:39.780 --> 00:35:40.460
 Love the

00:35:40.460 --> 00:35:40.639
 sinner.

00:35:41.340 --> 00:35:42.000
 We pray

00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:42.720
 for them

00:35:42.720 --> 00:35:44.019
 that they

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:44.519
 turn from

00:35:44.519 --> 00:35:44.960
 their sin.

00:35:46.160 --> 00:35:46.760
 We pray

00:35:46.760 --> 00:35:47.139
 for them

00:35:47.139 --> 00:35:47.440
 that they

00:35:47.440 --> 00:35:47.860
 go out

00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:48.440
 of darkness

00:35:48.440 --> 00:35:49.599
 into light.

00:35:51.180 --> 00:35:51.700
 That they

00:35:51.700 --> 00:35:52.139
 get out

00:35:52.139 --> 00:35:54.579
 of the

00:35:54.579 --> 00:35:55.240
 confusion

00:35:55.240 --> 00:35:55.880
 of the

00:35:55.880 --> 00:35:56.220
 sea,

00:35:56.780 --> 00:35:59.139
 from chaos.

00:36:00.119 --> 00:36:00.619
 And you'll

00:36:00.619 --> 00:36:01.099
 find that a

00:36:01.099 --> 00:36:01.420
 lot in

00:36:01.420 --> 00:36:01.900
 Revelation,

00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:03.079
 the imagery

00:36:03.079 --> 00:36:04.380
 of the

00:36:04.380 --> 00:36:05.380
 raging sea,

00:36:06.819 --> 00:36:08.019
 and how

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:08.519
 Christ

00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:10.179
 brings forth

00:36:10.179 --> 00:36:11.299
 still waters,

00:36:12.039 --> 00:36:12.579
 much like

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:13.159
 how Christ

00:36:13.159 --> 00:36:13.619
 said,

00:36:14.259 --> 00:36:14.659
 peace,

00:36:15.299 --> 00:36:16.019
 be still,

00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:17.860
 bringing to

00:36:17.860 --> 00:36:19.119
 order that

00:36:19.119 --> 00:36:19.699
 which is

00:36:19.699 --> 00:36:20.139
 chaotic.

00:36:21.420 --> 00:36:22.480
 We pray

00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:24.059
 that people

00:36:24.059 --> 00:36:24.699
 will come out

00:36:24.699 --> 00:36:25.000
 of that

00:36:25.000 --> 00:36:25.519
 chaos

00:36:25.519 --> 00:36:26.920
 into the

00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:28.139
 peace of

00:36:28.139 --> 00:36:28.599
 Christ.

00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:28.699
 Christ.

00:36:30.339 --> 00:36:31.259
 And so,

00:36:31.940 --> 00:36:33.980
 let us

00:36:33.980 --> 00:36:34.579
 never forget

00:36:34.579 --> 00:36:35.079
 where we

00:36:35.079 --> 00:36:35.759
 have come

00:36:35.759 --> 00:36:36.079
 from.

00:36:37.739 --> 00:36:38.659
 Christ is

00:36:38.659 --> 00:36:39.059
 the one

00:36:39.059 --> 00:36:40.259
 who walks

00:36:40.259 --> 00:36:40.920
 among the

00:36:40.920 --> 00:36:41.739
 lampstands.

00:36:42.239 --> 00:36:42.860
 He is

00:36:42.860 --> 00:36:43.559
 with us

00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:45.079
 as churches,

00:36:45.539 --> 00:36:46.339
 and he is

00:36:46.339 --> 00:36:46.819
 with us

00:36:46.819 --> 00:36:47.480
 individually

00:36:47.480 --> 00:36:48.059
 as well.

00:36:49.059 --> 00:36:49.579
 Let us

00:36:49.579 --> 00:36:50.279
 think then

00:36:50.279 --> 00:36:52.099
 of how

00:36:52.099 --> 00:36:53.860
 can the

00:36:53.860 --> 00:36:54.440
 love and

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:54.900
 devotion

00:36:54.900 --> 00:36:56.179
 that you

00:36:56.179 --> 00:36:56.819
 have for

00:36:56.819 --> 00:36:57.299
 Christ?

00:36:57.299 --> 00:36:58.460
 How can

00:36:58.460 --> 00:36:58.819
 that be

00:36:58.819 --> 00:37:00.319
 shown this

00:37:00.319 --> 00:37:00.739
 week,

00:37:01.179 --> 00:37:01.659
 today,

00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:02.899
 with another

00:37:02.899 --> 00:37:03.399
 person?

00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:04.559
 How can

00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:05.379
 you practice

00:37:05.379 --> 00:37:06.899
 truth,

00:37:07.279 --> 00:37:08.339
 speaking truth,

00:37:08.859 --> 00:37:10.299
 in love?

00:37:11.079 --> 00:37:11.960
 Think about

00:37:11.960 --> 00:37:12.379
 that.

00:37:13.039 --> 00:37:14.299
 And how can

00:37:14.299 --> 00:37:15.480
 we have

00:37:15.480 --> 00:37:16.399
 our lampstand

00:37:16.399 --> 00:37:18.639
 shine brightly

00:37:18.639 --> 00:37:20.379
 so that

00:37:20.379 --> 00:37:21.399
 others can

00:37:21.399 --> 00:37:21.819
 come to

00:37:21.819 --> 00:37:22.259
 Christ?

00:37:22.260 --> 00:37:22.380
 Christ.

00:37:23.740 --> 00:37:24.500
 And so,

00:37:24.600 --> 00:37:24.920
 Christ,

00:37:25.060 --> 00:37:25.300
 again,

00:37:25.920 --> 00:37:26.540
 he walks

00:37:26.540 --> 00:37:27.060
 among the

00:37:27.060 --> 00:37:27.780
 lampstands,

00:37:27.840 --> 00:37:28.240
 and he is

00:37:28.240 --> 00:37:28.680
 near to

00:37:28.680 --> 00:37:30.000
 us to

00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:30.960
 restore us.

00:37:31.680 --> 00:37:32.240
 So,

00:37:32.380 --> 00:37:32.620
 let us

00:37:32.620 --> 00:37:33.180
 love like

00:37:33.180 --> 00:37:34.560
 Christ and

00:37:34.560 --> 00:37:35.020
 keep the

00:37:35.020 --> 00:37:35.620
 truth of

00:37:35.620 --> 00:37:36.000
 God's

00:37:36.000 --> 00:37:37.040
 word in

00:37:37.040 --> 00:37:37.540
 our hearts.

00:37:38.060 --> 00:37:38.760
 Let's pray

00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:39.100
 together.

00:37:40.140 --> 00:37:40.700
 And,

00:37:40.780 --> 00:37:40.880
 Father,

00:37:40.960 --> 00:37:41.560
 we thank

00:37:41.560 --> 00:37:41.940
 you for

00:37:41.940 --> 00:37:45.980
 this section

00:37:45.980 --> 00:37:46.720
 in Revelation.

00:37:47.520 --> 00:37:48.400
 It's a heavy

00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:49.180
 one for sure,

00:37:49.460 --> 00:37:49.700
 Father.

00:37:49.699 --> 00:37:52.519
 but we

00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:53.059
 just pray

00:37:53.059 --> 00:37:53.419
 that

00:37:53.419 --> 00:37:56.299
 we may

00:37:56.299 --> 00:37:56.879
 have the

00:37:56.879 --> 00:37:57.279
 truth,

00:37:58.000 --> 00:37:58.980
 but we

00:37:58.980 --> 00:37:59.460
 may have

00:37:59.460 --> 00:38:00.000
 the love

00:38:00.000 --> 00:38:00.719
 as well.

00:38:02.419 --> 00:38:03.159
 May we

00:38:03.159 --> 00:38:04.119
 stand firm

00:38:04.119 --> 00:38:07.039
 as on

00:38:07.039 --> 00:38:07.319
 you,

00:38:07.439 --> 00:38:07.639
 our

00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:08.359
 foundation.

00:38:09.179 --> 00:38:09.879
 May we

00:38:09.879 --> 00:38:10.579
 be able to

00:38:10.579 --> 00:38:11.500
 speak truth

00:38:11.500 --> 00:38:12.159
 to others,

00:38:12.879 --> 00:38:13.879
 but may we

00:38:13.879 --> 00:38:14.439
 do it in

00:38:14.439 --> 00:38:14.699
 love.

00:38:14.879 --> 00:38:15.079
 Father,

00:38:15.179 --> 00:38:15.579
 we pray

00:38:15.579 --> 00:38:15.899
 that we

00:38:15.899 --> 00:38:16.559
 may never

00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:17.279
 lose sight

00:38:17.279 --> 00:38:18.139
 of who

00:38:18.139 --> 00:38:18.679
 you are.

00:38:18.679 --> 00:38:19.759
 may we

00:38:19.759 --> 00:38:20.099
 never

00:38:20.099 --> 00:38:20.799
 lose that

00:38:20.799 --> 00:38:21.399
 love and

00:38:21.399 --> 00:38:22.119
 that devotion

00:38:22.119 --> 00:38:22.699
 of who

00:38:22.699 --> 00:38:23.279
 you are,

00:38:23.419 --> 00:38:23.759
 what you

00:38:23.759 --> 00:38:24.419
 have done,

00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:26.279
 the love

00:38:26.279 --> 00:38:26.639
 that you

00:38:26.639 --> 00:38:27.199
 have for

00:38:27.199 --> 00:38:27.399
 us,

00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:28.000
 you sending

00:38:28.000 --> 00:38:28.599
 your Son,

00:38:28.739 --> 00:38:29.579
 Jesus Christ,

00:38:30.399 --> 00:38:31.079
 the way,

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:31.719
 the truth,

00:38:31.859 --> 00:38:32.619
 and the

00:38:32.619 --> 00:38:33.019
 life.

00:38:35.619 --> 00:38:36.299
 May we

00:38:38.599 --> 00:38:39.159
 your word

00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:39.519

00:38:42.019 --> 00:38:42.440

00:39:11.660 --> 00:39:12.020
 do what

00:39:12.020 --> 00:39:12.520
 needs to
