Whoever has Ears, Let Them Hear Part 1—by Justin Renton
June 12, 2023
Sermon summary:

The Apostle John warns the church in Ephesus who has lost their passion for Christ. Christianity is about a relationship with God, not just things to do.
He encourages them to Remember the height from which they have fallen; To Repent, and to Do the things they did at first.

Following Jesus comes with the cost of persecution and rejection. If we face none, it may reveal compromise or conformity to the world. Are we influencing culture—or being influenced by it? True faith shares Christ boldly, just as the early disciples did. Let’s trust God with courage and live boldly for the One we serve.

Giving is a powerful expression of worship and trust in God. Though He doesn’t need our money, our generosity reflects the posture of our hearts. We honour God by giving from our best, without strings attached, and keeping the promises we've made. Giving is to God—not to man—and it supports the church as a place of spiritual growth for our families and future generations.
