Revelation 2:1-7 addresses the church at Ephesus and covers the topic of "When Love Wanes."
We used 2:1 to introduce all the churches in the next two chapters and see in this verse that Christ has a vested interest in his church.
Now, we want to work with the idea that "We must strive to be a healthy church" to govern us from vv. 2-7.
In vv. 2-3, and 6 we noted 1) What is Praiseworthy about a healthy church.
In v. 4 we see that 2) A healthy church may encounter problems.
In v. 5a we learn that 3) There is a path forward for healthy churches.
