The 7 Churches of Revelation: Ephesus
Sunday Morning | May 24, 2026 | John C. Majors | Louisville, KY In session two of the “7 Churches of Revelation” series, Pastor John explored Jesus’ message to the church in Ephesus from Revelation 2:1-7, alongside passages from Ephesians, 1 & 2 Timothy, and Acts 18-19. The Ephesian church was commended for being discerning, determined, and dedicated to truth, faithfully guarding sound doctrine and persevering through hardship. Pastor John explained that the lampstand represents one church united in Christ, called to shine His light together. Yet despite their strong theology and steadfast service, the church had drifted off course because they had lost their first love for God and others. Jesus’ correction was clear: remember the love they once had, repent of their coldness, and repeat the practices that once flowed from genuine love. The message reminded us that truth without love leads to spiritual drift, and that healthy churches must remain deeply rooted in both sound doctrine and wholehearted love for Christ.
