Redeemer Winston Salem

June 21, 2026 -- The church in Ephesus is active, discerning, hardworking, and committed to truth. They test false teaching. They endure. They have not grown weary. And yet Jesus says they have abandoned their first love. This sermon names the danger of faithfulness without affection, truth without love, and church life that becomes vinegar instead of joy. Jesus calls his church to remember, repent, and return not to a vague feeling, but to the love that first loved us.
