Order of Worship
Call to Worship: Psalm 116:1;5–7
- Leader: I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

- Leader: The LORD preserves the simple; when I was brought low, he saved me.
- All: Return, O my soul, to your rest; for the LORD has dealt bountifully with you.
House of the Lord
Holy Holy Holy
Prayer of Confession: Prayer adapted from (The Valley of Vision- “The Love of Jesus & Love to Jesus”)
- Leader: O Father of Jesus, help us come to You with deep reverence— not thinking we deserve Your love, not fearing You like slaves, but trusting You as Your dearly loved children.
- All: But Lord, our love for You is often cold and weak. Let the warmth of Christ’s love change us, lift our burdens, and fill our hearts with joy.
Silent Confession
Assurance of Pardon: Romans 5:8; 2 Corinthians 1:20
- Leader: But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- All: Our hearts are moved by the love of Jesus— our Savior, our Brother, who became like us, who died and rose again for us. So Lord Jesus, draw near to us. Holy Spirit, rest upon us. Father, show us mercy— not because of our goodness, but for the sake of Your beloved Son.
- Leader: In Jesus Christ, all the promises of God are “Yes.” And that is why we say “Amen” through Him, to the glory of God.
- All: Yes! Amen! Thanks be to God!

Sermon Outline
Title: “When Love Grows Cold: A Call to Return to Jesus”
Preacher: Anthony Gammage
Text: Revelation 2:1-7
2 “To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.
2 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. 3 I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary. 4 But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. 5 Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. 6 Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’
