Bible readings: 1 John 4:7-21
Sermon text: Revelation 2:1-7
Labouring for the Lord is good, patiently enduring suffering for the Lord is praiseworthy, and doctrinal orthodoxy and intolerance towards false teaching is necessary but if we lose our first love for the Lord Jesus Christ then all will be vain. We must repent of any lack of love in our hearts for Jesus and return to Him with all zeal.
