Ephesus: Return To Your First Love - Audio

God had a plan from the very beginning of time to rescue you from the sins that so easily restrain and trip you up. God sent His one and only son Jesus to die for our sins. Only Jesus could be the perfect sacrifice because He was 100% human and 100% divine. Because of this He understands your struggles and temptations. He willingly gave His life to pay the price for our sins. Because of Jesus' sacrifice, we can be forgiven and have a relationship with God again. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49225268

The saying "What you reap is what you sow" speaks to the cycle of cause and effect in our actions. Our world is corrupted by sin where selfish human desires drive everything. People seeking to serve themselves first can be seen in every area of life. However, the truth is that there are many who suffer physically, emotionally, and spiritually. The scripture reminds us that as believers in the church, we are called to help others before we help ourselves. Through the power of God and our obedience to His word, we have the ability to make a difference in the world. The question is, are we willing to rise to this challenge? Will you and I be the church God has called us to be? Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49214696

No Greater Love Produces Biblical Fruit And Love For Other Believers As Much As Being Connected To Jesus! Sermon Outline @ https://events.bible.com/en/event/edit/49211599/share

Sin is a powerful force that seeks to keep us separated from God. Separated from a relationship with God, to keep our fellowship estranged and ultimately to keep us from being with Him in Heaven once again for eternity. We must understand the impact of sin on our lives and be ready to deal with it by our will and God’s strength. The curse of Eden is still alive and well today!

This morning’s lesson from the garden teaches us to be careful about the voices we listen to. Last week we established that Satan is our enemy who seeks to destroy us because we are precious to God. He uses deception and our own emotional insecurities to influence us to make poor choices. To disregard God’s instructions and promises to us. He accentuates our “felt” need in the moment with no regard for the consequences that will follow. The consequences of Adam and Eve’s sin impact us to this day. There is a great divide between God and Humanity that cries out for the need of a Savior.

As believers if we only serve those around us in the church, we are neglecting the very people in the community that God has given us to serve. If our only priority is meeting our own needs and of those we already know, we will never see the need in our community, thereby NOT doing what Jesus has told us to do.

God established a relationship with you and I as His greatest creation. He designed us to have a relationship with Him that included a balance of work and rest and love and service. Balance in those areas lead us to live a life that pleases God and is beneficial to us. We live the life God designed us for. Sermon Outline @ http://bible.com/events/49196972
