What are the deeds of your first love?

When Jesus visited the Seven Churches in Revelation, his warning to the Church in Ephesus likely took the ​“good looking” church by surprise. Despite their hard work and perseverance, they had left their first love. 

One hundred years after the warning, the once-thriving church was no more.

How many churches throughout history are either no more or a shadow of their former self? We need to get back to our first love. Who, or what, do we love? Is the love of Jesus central to the life of the church?
