This podcast is presented to you by Pastor Randy Hand and Celebration Church in Fresno, California.

I think what we'll do is we'll just build toward what God's going to do in all of the services tomorrow and then again in the service tomorrow night.

But let's talk for a minute out of Revelations 2.

First of all, let me say something that's pretty provocative.

Everything it's written in your Bible is not true.

Because there's a black heading above Chapter 2 of Revelations 2 in my Bible that says the loveless church. They were not a

loveless church. It was not that they did not have love. It's that they did not have love to the

degree they originally had love. Revelation chapter 2, verse 1.

Are you there?

You guys got that ready instead of all those 58 verses I gave you back there earlier.

Verse 1, to the angel of the Church of Ephesus write, these things says he, who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of seven golden lamp stands.

I know your works, your labor, your patience,

that you cannot bear those who are evil,

how you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not,

and have found them liars.

You have persevered and have patience,

and have labored for my namesake,

and have not become weary.

Well, that's verse 2 and verse 3 is a pretty strong caricature sketch of what the Church

of Ephesus is like.

This is a good, strong group of people.
