Summary

In this episode, TS Wright delivers the first sermon of 2026, focusing on the book of Revelation, specifically chapters 2 and 3, which address the seven churches. The message centers on the church in Ephesus, highlighting its strengths and weaknesses. While the church is commended for its perseverance and rejection of false teachings, it is admonished for abandoning its first love—Jesus. Wright emphasizes the importance of maintaining a personal relationship with Christ amidst the challenges of ministry and societal pressures. He warns that neglecting this relationship could lead to losing one's spiritual light and connection to God.

TS Wright elaborates on the significance of the seven churches as representative of different church ages and the timeless messages they convey. He encourages listeners to reflect on their own faith journeys, ensuring that their actions are rooted in love for Jesus rather than mere works. The episode concludes with a prayer for listeners to reconnect with their first love and to be empowered by the Holy Spirit in their daily lives.

Takeaways

"Don't let the work of doing things for Jesus... make you forget Him."

"He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches."

"You need to repent and perform the deeds you did at first."

"Jesus is acknowledging that he understands all of this and he sees it."

"The seven lampstands represent the seven churches."

"We can eat from the tree of life because we've been saved."

"This church is for the most part doing everything that they're supposed to do but they're not connecting to Jesus the way they're supposed to."
