“But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first…” (Revelation 2:4, NIV)
This sermon is a continuation from last week and continues to emphasize Jesus’ words to the church in Ephesus: though they were energetic in service, patient in suffering, and orthodox in belief, they had abandoned their first love of Jesus and one another. We’ll explore how love for Christ must be the foundation of all service, endurance, and doctrine. Worship should focus on returning to our first love in Christ, repentance, and renewal of devotion.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
