The Church of Ephesus was an amazing church! By every standard that we judge churches by today, it was the cream of the crop. But Jesus said something's missing. I have this against you; you have neglected, abandoned, drifted away from, become indifferent to your first love. Passion for the person of Jesus had been diverted into passion for the projects of Jesus. Activity substituted for adoration. Hard work left no time for heart-work. But Jesus is looking for first-love followers. First in time, first in rank, before the church can be an army for the
Kingdom, it must be a bride for the King.

So here's his question, "Have you left your first love?"

In this episode I'll ask you this question, "Do you believe God misses you?" I think we have this idea that God is love so God has to love us...because he's God. But we aren't so sure He likes us; not so sure He misses us, when we are gone. But there is something about love that always desires to be with. The Bible is not merely a moral instructionl book or a spiritual guidebook left behind by God for those who might want to make the trip up to Him. The Bible is also a storybook telling us about this God who came down to us. That’s Christmas. And no matter how difficult our story gets, even when life and hardship threaten to overwhelm you, He is with you, because He wants to be. He loves you.

So let me say it again, "Don't miss His heart!"

My teaching series at Calvary is called, "One Christmas." It's all about getting Christmas right, if we only had one Christmas left before we meet the hero of Christmas face to face, how would we shape this Christmas?

If Christmas is the love story of God, how do we respond? How can we practically and tangibly love Jesus this Christmas? That's what this episode is all about!
