Welcome to Ontario Community Church, where we are encouraging, equipping, and engaging lives for Christ.
! 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.
Today, you'll be hearing week four of our sermon series through the book of Revelation.
We're looking at Revelation chapter 2, verses 1 through 7, which is Christ's letter to the church in Ephesus.
Here's something fascinating to note before you listen.
This is the same church that the Apostle Paul commended in the book of Ephesians for their love and faithfulness.
It was a flagship church in the early Christian movement.
Yet here in Revelation, it was being rebuked for abandoning its first love.
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.
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.
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.
Let's listen together to today's message.
First love, remember, repent, and do love.
Well, good morning, everyone.
So we are in week four of our sermon series through the book of Revelation.
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.
And we started off by seeing how important it is for us to read, study, and to preach through Revelation.
And I cannot help how often we hear of Revelation as a book that is scary and confusing, one that is divisive.
But the reality is there's nothing to be afraid of, especially when you know Jesus Christ.
Amen?
There's nothing for us to be afraid of when we trust in the living God.
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.
And Revelation, like any other book of the Bible, is important for us.
It is if we understand that in Revelation chapter 1, verse 3,
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.
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.
And so often in Scripture, when you see that language of, he who has an ear, let him hear.
It's for us to understand and to be transformed by the word.
And we have got to keep the word of God.
We have to keep it within our hearts, much so we hold dear the gospel message, as well as our testimony.
I would like for us to turn to Revelation.
Revelation. We're going to go into Revelation chapter 2.
And we're going to go over the first seven verses.
And if you remember last week, we were going over this language where John was talking about what Christ's saying.
Where Christ says,
Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.
I died, and behold, I am alive evermore.
I have the keys of death and Hades.
Therefore, the things that you have seen.
We had this imagery of the seven stars and the seven lampstands.
The stars representing the angels or the messengers.
And the lampstands representing the churches.
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.
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.
And we are now going through the church in Ephesus.
We pray, Father, that we may really take to heart the message here.
May we see the good things that Ephesus did, but also learn from the bad things as well.
May our hearts always be focused on you.
The source of life.
The source of our salvation.
And may we learn to balance the truth of your word and never lose sight.
May we never lose your love in the process.
It is in the name of Jesus Christ that we pray and we all say together, Amen, church.
All right.
So, Revelation chapter 2.
We're going to read these seven verses.
Let's read it together, church.
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write,
The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand,
Who walks among the seven golden lampstands.
I know your works, your toil, and your patient endurance,
And how you cannot bear with those who are evil,
But have tested those who call themselves apostles,
And are not, and found them to be false.
I know you are enduring patiently,
And bearing up for my name's sake,
And you have not grown weary.
But, uh-oh.
All that was good, right?
But, I have this against you,
That you have abandoned the love you had at first.
Remember, therefore, from where you have fallen,
Repent, and do the works you did at first.
If not, I will come to you in what, church?
Remove your lampstand from its place,
Unless you repent.
Yet this you have,
You hate the work of the Nicolaitans,
Which I also hate.
He who has an ear,
Let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches,
To the one who conquers,
I will grant to eat of the tree of life,
Which is in the paradise of God.
Wow.
We thank God for that.
What an interesting message that's happening here, right?
So what exactly is going on here?
We see in the beginning that Christ is saying, right,
To the angel, to the messenger of the church in Ephesus, right,
Write this down.
So this is from Christ, right?
The words of him, right?
The words of Christ,
Who holds the seven stars in his right hand,
Who walks among the seven golden lampstands, right?
We've seen this language that's happened previously, right?
Where you have this imagery of Christ with eyes of fire, right?
If you remember that language.
And the seven stars in his right hand,
And he's walking among the lampstands.
Okay.
It then goes into verse two, right,
Where Christ is acknowledging what Ephesus is doing, right?
So what do we have?
I know your works, right?
I know the things that you have done.
I know your toil, right?
The pressure that they've been under,
The hard work, right?
And persevering through things.
Your patient endurance, right?
All these things are really good when you read it, right?
The good things that you're doing,
That you have persevered to the end.
You've been patiently waiting upon the Lord.
And then it goes on,
And how you cannot bear with those who are evil.
Well, that's interesting, right?
This church has a standard, as it were.
They know they're not going to compromise.
They're going to stand firm, as it were, right?
And many of us know people who are like this.
They're going to stand in their conviction.
They're going to stand in truth.
And they're not going to be shaken.
They're not going to waver.
And this is a good thing.
And, I mean, this is what Christ is saying.
So, they have a standard.
But have tested those who call themselves apostles,
And are not.
Well, we can see here that something is going on.
That in having this standard,
There had to have been people who were claiming to be apostles.
And they weren't.
And it's important when we see this right away,
How important it is for when we think of apostles in the early church.
But we can think of pastors today, right?
And people who are coming in the name of Christ.
Are they preaching and teaching from the word of God?
Are they bearing fruit?
Are they exhibiting the love of Christ?
We can see that in scripture,
Very often it speaks of testing the spirits.
Which is very important.
My friends, I have to tell you,
There's a reason why in your notes,
I always have cross-references within scripture.
I certainly hope to not be wrong in what I preach to you.
And to make sure that it is backed up by scripture.
Now, in that, not everyone is like that.
And that's fine.
But you have to be careful in the ability to discern, right?
So this is what Ephesus was doing.
They were discerning and they were able to call out evil for evil.
And they were able to know,
This guy is not a good apostle.
This guy is a false, right?
A fake or a phony, right?
You've probably heard the example before.
You hear it a lot on YouTube where
You know what a real dollar bill looks like and feels like, right?
Compared to funny money, right?
Or compared to something that is fake.
Well, when you're trained,
When you know the word,
When you are guided by the Holy Spirit,
The ability to discern right and wrong,
Truth from lies is a wonderful gift from God.
And we thank God for people who have that ability.
And it's important for us to grow in that ability.
And so you got to know the real thing
In order to know what the fake and phony things are, amen?
That's so important for us.
And so we can see that's what's happening, right?
They've tested those who've,
Now we don't know how many people
Called themselves apostles,
But it's enough for
This church to have a standard
And for Christ to commend them for that.
And found them to be false.
I'm going to test this apostle
And see if they're legit or not.
So it's going on in verse 3 then,
I know you are enduring patiently
And bearing up for my name's sake, right?
They are persevering.
They're not growing weary.
This could be a church that has been
Maybe dealt with spiritual warfare
Or attacks, right?
These kind of things that have happened
That no matter what was happening at the time,
We don't know exactly,
They stood firm.
What a beautiful thing, right?
For a church to be able to not grow weary
And to just keep Christ
And keep Christ's truth in this case.
So all of this, when you're reading this,
You're like, okay, this is great.
They have a standard.
They're standing on truth.
What could possibly go wrong?
Well, we find that in verse 4 then,
I have this against you.
It's the but, right?
How many of us like the,
You did all this good thing, right?
If you ever had a job review, right?
Your annual review.
And you're like, you did all these things great.
But, right?
And then you're like, but you got to improve here, right?
So it's, it's, Christ is auditing here.
I have this against you.
That you have abandoned the love you had at first.
You left, some translations say,
You have left your first love.
And this is talking about a departure.
A leaving from loving Christ.
We think about this.
Now, this kind of hits home when you think about it.
How sad it must be
To be, to get things, so many things right,
But to lose that love and devotion for Christ in the process.
In other words, they had their grip so tight,
You couldn't have a crowbar open it, right?
Nothing could get it open.
They focused so much on truth that they lost love.
The love for God and, quite frankly, the love for others.
What a tragic thing when you think about the other side.
And when we think about it, we can think of people,
And I'm not going to call out any person or any church for this,
But we can even think of churches that are like this.
Or people that are like this.
They're so focused on the truth,
And being correct, and being right.
What about the love?
It's a balance between the two,
And it's certainly a difficult one, isn't it?
Think about it.
Well, I have to stand on the truth of the word of God.
And by golly, I'm going to stand on that.
But you can't have that grip so tight.
You have to be able to speak the truth in love.
We cannot forget that as we pursue the truth of God's word,
We've got to have the love of Christ in us,
So that we can share it with other people.
So abandoning this love.
Then he goes on in verse 5.
That R word.
What's the R word?
Remember.
Remember what?
Remember from where you have fallen.
Repent and do the works you did at first, right?
And so, he's saying,
Remember.
Repent.
And do the works.
And what are those works?
It's to love God.
And to love other people.
I get this imagery.
How many of you remember when you first became a Christian?
You can raise your hand if you want.
Don't be bashful, right?
Or you know someone if it's been a while.
They first became a Christian.
And that love.
And that reliance and devotion to Christ.
When they're so excited.
And they may not have all the correct theology.
But yet, it's like,
I know Jesus loves me.
And I know that he died for me.
And that might be all they understand.
And I know that Jesus rose again from the dead.
And that's what I believe in.
That kind of excitement and devotion to Christ.
That's the kind of love
that we should have
towards Christ.
Much like how in Scripture,
when Christ says that we are to
be like children,
we are to come to the Lord
as a child.
What in the world?
I remember when I first read that,
I'm like,
you've got to be kidding me.
Like,
I don't want to be a child.
Right?
But you think of that
sense of awe and wonder
for who Christ is.
And that devotion to Him.
That is the first love.
That is beautiful
when we think of this.
So,
Christ is explaining
what needs to be done here.
And unfortunately,
there is a consequence
if you don't change.
If you focus so much on truth
and not on the love of Jesus Christ,
what does it say that will happen, church?
church,
the lampstand will be removed.
Unless you repent.
And let us remember
when we're thinking of repentance,
it's you've got to change your mind
for a second here.
Change your mind
and change your trajectory
as it were.
Isn't it interesting?
Kind of as a side note here.
There are some churches out there.
They're so focused on being right
and the truth
that yet they die.
They don't grow.
Isn't that interesting?
It's important to have the truth.
And by golly,
we have the Word of God,
but not to get so nitpicky
on these things, right?
That's why I talk so much
about how important it is
for us to understand.
We all come from different backgrounds
and different perspectives.
As I even mentioned
in the beginning
of us going through Revelation,
some of you are all millennial.
Some of you are post-millennial.
Some of you are pre-millennial.
Some of you don't even know
what these words are
and that's okay.
Right?
I mean, we even have
rapture versus non-rapture.
What matters,
instead of fighting each other
and dying on these hills,
we come together
as the body of Christ.
And here's the thing.
It's not about
how much you know.
What matters is that
you know Jesus Christ.
That is what we've got to know.
We've got to have that relationship
with Jesus Christ.
And I know that
as I say this,
it can be very difficult,
especially if we come
from that kind of background.
And I will be honest,
I was very attracted
to always being right,
having the right theology
and fighting all the people
that were wrong.
I admit,
and some of us,
we may identify with that.
But what matters is
let us not lose
the love of Christ
in the process.
Okay?
You may have your conviction
and that's okay.
There's nothing wrong with that.
You may be at a certain place
in the Lord
where it's like,
you know what,
where I'm at,
I believe in the rapture.
That's fine.
You may be of the theology
that you're not.
And that's okay.
What matters
is we're not going to
attack and kill each other
in the process.
Amen?
Let's not do that, right?
Like it says in Scripture,
a house divided cannot stand, right?
We have got to be united.
And we keep the main thing,
the main thing,
and that is Jesus Christ,
the love that comes from Him,
and the truth
from the Word of God.
And so in here,
very interesting,
in verse 6 here,
yet this you have,
you hate the works
of the Nicolaitans,
which I also hate.
It's kind of random, right?
You read that,
you're like,
okay,
who are the Nicolaitans
and what in the world
is going on here, right?
So the Nicolaitans,
we don't know exactly
who they are
and what they did,
but it seems
that they were compromisers, right?
They were compromising the,
Christ also hates it,
and you find,
I have in your notes here,
it seems it was similar
to worshipping Baal,
it seems to indicate that
in terms of idolatry
and sexual immorality,
you know,
pretty heavy stuff, right?
And so,
but we don't know
the full scope of it,
nonetheless.
But this was an infiltration
in the church at Ephesus
to the point where
they're not going to let
that infiltration happen.
They're not going to let
sexual immorality
and they're not going to let
idolatry infiltrate the church.
And Christ is saying,
look,
I get it.
I hate them too.
But,
he says specifically,
do I hate the people
or do I hate the works?
Look at this,
very important.
Yeah,
it's important to note that,
right?
I hate the things
that they do,
not the people.
That's very interesting.
It's important for us to know,
right?
That it could be
they were infiltrating
or it could be
they were led astray,
these people.
We don't know
the full scope of that.
But in any case,
just as Ephesus,
we reject idolatry
and sexual immorality,
so that's important to note.
And finally,
at the end,
he who has an ear,
let him hear
what the Spirit says
to the churches.
To the one who conquers,
I will grant to eat
of the tree of life.
Isn't that interesting?
The language that you find
even from the garden,
right,
is very similar
to what you find
in Revelation.
It's beautiful.
In all of this,
what can we learn from this?
Well, the first thing
is that,
church,
truth without love
cannot sustain
lasting what?
Right?
So these lampstands
are representing
their witness,
the church's witness.
So Ephesus
has truth,
they have a standard,
they're discerning,
they're diligent,
right?
They're focusing
on accuracy,
but yet Jesus rebukes
them because they need
the love of Christ,
and they need to love others.
And I'm reminded
in so many times
how without love,
we are nothing.
And we have got to have
the balance of that.
We have to have love
first and foremost,
and out of love
flows truth
that we speak
to other people.
And so,
this is leaving
the first love,
the love for Christ.
That devotion
has got to flow
from us
to other people.
And that's so important.
And a question
I want you to think about
is,
has my pursuit
of truth
or has my
desire for being right
overtaken
my love
of Jesus
and his people?
Ask yourself
that question.
It's a difficult one.
I read that
as I was writing this.
I'm like,
I don't like that question,
but you got to think
about it, right?
And think for a moment
further
that Ephesus
was commended
for their
love
and truth
in Ephesians.
And yet,
later on,
it lost the love.
How interesting.
So,
you have to
constantly keep it at bay.
The second one
is we are cared for
and we are accountable
to who?
To Christ, right?
That Christ protects us.
He walks with us
in our
journey in faith
as well as
when we think of churches,
he journeys with us
corporately.
And it's important
that just as a person
can lose their way
and get lost,
so too
can a church,
at least that's what
we're seeing
here in Revelation.
If a church
loses their way
and refuses
to change their mind,
refuses to repent,
then
the lampstand
can be removed,
meaning the loss
of corporate witness.
So,
some people may ask,
well,
is the loss
of a lampstand,
is that loss
of salvation?
Well,
no.
It's the loss
of your witness,
though.
There are some people
that are saved,
but yet they don't
exhibit godly living.
You may know
someone like that.
Someone that has been
saved by grace
through faith,
and yet their witness
is not,
it's not shining brightly,
as it were.
And so,
in the case of the church,
losing that witness
means the church
will essentially die.
And what a sad thing,
especially when we look
at statistics
and we see about
how many churches
are dying.
And I hate to think,
is this a pattern
that we have seen
in churches?
I think so.
So,
we've got to remember
the truth
of the word of God,
but we cannot
lose that love
in the process.
And then,
the Nicolaitans,
then,
it seems to
be some sort of
infiltration
or change
of people
within the church,
whatever it is,
that
we do stand firm
in the word of God.
We don't compromise,
but we also
don't lose that love.
The third thing,
then,
is,
if we lose
our way,
remember,
repent,
and do
the first works,
which is to love.
Remember
that devotion
you had.
Just as I gave you
that imagery
of someone
who just
became a Christian
and that excitement,
that dedication,
that enthusiasm,
right?
I don't know about you,
but when I see
a new believer,
it makes me think
I don't ever want
to be so old
that I'm no longer
excited about Christ.
I want to be
just as enthusiastic
as a new believer
and I don't want
to lose sight of that.
And I hope for us,
we don't lose sight
of that either.
we have got
to keep that devotion.
Remember the former
devotion,
right?
When we're talking
about repentance,
let us change
our mind.
Let us change
our trajectory
and let us do
the first works,
the love that was
once recognized.
I want to take a moment
before we go
into the application.
I want us to turn
to Jeremiah chapter 2.
It's on page 746.
I want to show you
something here.
this ties into
this idea of
love and devotion,
remembering that
love of Christ.
So Jeremiah chapter 2.
And we'll go from
Jeremiah 2,
page 746
in your ESVPU Bibles.
Are we all there?
All right.
We're going to read
those
five verses.
Okay?
Verses 1 through 5.
Let's read it together,
church.
The word of the Lord
came to me
saying,
Go and proclaim
in the hearing
of Jerusalem,
thus says the Lord.
And this is important.
This next one.
I remember
the devotion
of your youth,
your love
as a bride,
how you followed me
in the wilderness,
in a land not sown.
Israel was holy
to the Lord,
the first fruits
of his harvest.
All who ate of it
and culted guilt.
Disaster came
upon them,
declares the Lord.
Hear the word
of the Lord,
O house of Jacob,
and all the clans
of the house of Israel.
Thus says the Lord.
What wrong
did your fathers
find in me
that they went
far from me
and went after
worthlessness
and became worthless?
It's showing
very similar imagery.
The most important part
is that verse 2 here,
that devotion.
Right?
Because we think
of Christ
as the bridegroom
and the church
as the bride,
very similar language
in how important
it is for us
to keep that
young devotion
as it were.
Right?
When you think of
a bride and
a groom,
that love
and affection,
that devotion,
very similar
how we should have
love and devotion.
Not in a romantic
sense,
but in
a spiritual sense
towards the Lord.
So that's very,
very interesting
in that connection.
And when you think
about this,
I want you to think
if Jesus came
to this church today,
what would an audit
look like?
You know,
I certainly hope,
yes,
we would be standing
on the truth
of the word,
but I certainly hope
we would be commended
for our ability
to love.
And also,
we have to think,
maybe for you,
you can think
of that devotion.
And how can you
think about,
take some time
to think of that
devotion
you once had
towards the Lord.
And if you haven't
had any devotion
like that to the Lord,
well,
certainly,
ask other people.
Learn their testimony
and how on fire
they were
and how God
changed their life.
And so,
in this,
let's go to the
application then.
How should we respond?
What do we do
about this?
Well,
the first is
keep your first love
for Jesus,
right?
You've got to keep
devotion to Him.
We love God
and we love
others,
right?
The great commandment.
We keep the Word
in our hearts.
We keep His,
we follow in the
footsteps of Christ
and we have that
sense of awe
and wonder
of who Christ is
and think of that
imagery
as we went over
in Jeremiah.
And let
your love
for Christ
be shown
to others
in the words
that you speak,
in the actions
that you do,
just even in
your very presence
and visiting
other people.
Let that love
radiate.
The second thing
then
is
from love
flows
truth
and witness.
we have to
think how God
loved us
first
and we are
saved.
We're saved by
grace through
faith.
Essentially,
we're saved
because God
loves us
and we are
called
to love
like Christ.
We think of
truth and witness,
right?
We have to speak
the truth
in love.
We have to
witness
to other people.
Telling the
gospel story
or even
our own
personal
journey in
Christ
and how
God has
worked in
our life.
How God
has transformed
us
from the
inside out.
We think
about this.
It's
important for
us.
Let us
grow in
Christ
and let us
bear
fruit.
Live
as an
ambassador
for Christ
and be
a messenger
as it were.
One who's
not ashamed.
It's so
important for
us.
Yes,
by all
means,
I'm not
saying let's
not have
the truth.
I'm saying
we have
the truth.
We've also
got to have
the love.
We've got to
have both
of these
things with
us.
And so
be a
witness,
right?
Be a
witness.
Share the
good news.
Invite
someone to
church.
Maybe you
need to share
in your
testimony.
Maybe you
need to
share how
God's
moving in
your life.
And let
the things
that you
do glorify
the Father.
And
finally,
the last
one is to
guard the
lampstand
with truth
and love.
Because our
testimony,
right,
our witness
matters.
Our personal
witness,
but also our
corporate witness.
we have to
guard it and
protect it.
We have to
live in love
like Christ,
but we also,
we don't
deviate from
truth either.
We have to
keep the
truth in
us and
protect it.
It's a
reminder for
us to not
let the
world
infiltrate our
hearts or
our minds
and to not
infiltrate
our
fellowship.
Instead,
let us be
transformed by
Christ and
let us
influence our
friends,
our family,
the community,
and let us
make a
difference in
the name of
Christ.
And it's
also important,
as we found
in the
Nicolaitans,
that at
times,
people will
do things
that are
evil.
We hate
the things
that they
do.
But we
still offer
love to
our enemies.
We still
extend that,
and that's
very difficult.
Love our
enemies?
A lot of
us would
say,
I'd rather
not.
Let's be
honest here,
right?
But we
think about
that,
how Christ
was saying,
I don't
like what
they are
doing.
Even when
Christ was on
the cross
saying,
Father,
forgive them
for they
know not
what they
do.
Right?
So it's
important for
us to
love the
sinner,
hate the
sinner.
You've got
to know the
difference.
How many of
us know
they hate
both the
sin and
the sinner,
right?
Don't raise
your hand,
please.
Right?
We may know
someone like
that, and I
pray it's none
of y'all,
right?
We hate
the sin.
Love the
sinner.
We pray
for them
that they
turn from
their sin.
We pray
for them
that they
go out
of darkness
into light.
That they
get out
of the
confusion
of the
sea,
from chaos.
And you'll
find that a
lot in
Revelation,
the imagery
of the
raging sea,
and how
Christ
brings forth
still waters,
much like
how Christ
said,
peace,
be still,
bringing to
order that
which is
chaotic.
We pray
that people
will come out
of that
chaos
into the
peace of
Christ.
And so,
let us
never forget
where we
have come
from.
Christ is
the one
who walks
among the
lampstands.
He is
with us
as churches,
and he is
with us
individually
as well.
Let us
think then
of how
can the
love and
devotion
that you
have for
Christ?
How can
that be
shown this
week,
today,
with another
person?
How can
you practice
truth,
speaking truth,
in love?
Think about
that.
And how can
we have
our lampstand
shine brightly
so that
others can
come to
Christ?
Christ.
And so,
Christ,
again,
he walks
among the
lampstands,
and he is
near to
us to
restore us.
So,
let us
love like
Christ and
keep the
truth of
God's
word in
our hearts.
Let's pray
together.
And,
Father,
we thank
you for
this section
in Revelation.
It's a heavy
one for sure,
Father.
but we
just pray
that
we may
have the
truth,
but we
may have
the love
as well.
May we
stand firm
as on
you,
our
foundation.
May we
be able to
speak truth
to others,
but may we
do it in
love.
Father,
we pray
that we
may never
lose sight
of who
you are.
may we
never
lose that
love and
that devotion
of who
you are,
what you
have done,
the love
that you
have for
us,
you sending
your Son,
Jesus Christ,
the way,
the truth,
and the
life.
May we
never forget
even in
your word
when it
says,
for you,
God,
so love
the world
that you
gave your
only Son,
that
whosoever
believes
shall not
perish,
but have
eternal
life.
All of
this comes
from you
and we
are grateful
for that.
We pray
that if
the Lord
ever came
in today
and audited
this church,
that we
may have a
good report
and if
there's
anything
that we
are not
doing,
may we
remember,
may we
repent and
do what
needs to
be done.
May we
walk humbly
before you,
following in
the footsteps
of Christ,
living and
loving like
you,
guided by
your Holy
Spirit.
It is in
the name
of Jesus
Christ that
we pray
and we
all say
together,
Amen,
church.
Amen.
