It’s All About the Heart!

YHWH’s Cycle of Life

Yeshua Our First Love

Let’s Remember Our First Love, Yeshua

• Rev 2:1-5 “To the angel of the assembly in Ephesus write: “He who holds the seven stars in his right hand, he who walks among the seven golden menorahs says these things: (2) “I know your works, and your toil and perseverance, and that you can’t tolerate evil men, and have tested those who call themselves emissaries, and they are not, and found them false. (3) You have perseverance and have endured for my name’s sake, and have[1] not grown weary. (4) But I have this against you, that you left your first love. (5) Remember therefore from where you have fallen, and repent and do the first works; or else I am coming to you swiftly, and will move your menorah out of its place, unless you repent.

Let’s Remember Who Yeshua is!

• Hebrews 1:1-13

Heb 2:1 Therefore we ought to pay greater attention to the things that were heard, lest perhaps we drift away.

What is happening to Believers today?Why would we drift away?1. Focus on divisions among brethren

A. Yes we have division and some exclude others but it’s time to grow up, try to get along as best we can on re-focus on Yeshua our Salvation!

B. Staying away from sin and mixture without hurling dung on others

C. Keep away from Bitterness!2. Focus on Religion instead of the Relationship

A. Must have Liturgy over Worship (order over freedom)B. Must have form over free expression from the heartC. Must agree with a man first over the Word

3. Focus on Religious Obedience rather than Obedience to HimA. I must follow what my assembly tells me I must doB. But my Rabbi tells me to drink to get drunk on PurimC. My congregation goes out to a restaurant on ShabbatD. My Priest says that we must worship MaryE. My pastor says we cannot worship in minor keys to keep

people happy

4. Focused not on our Salvation – Yeshua! A. Goes to service most Shabbat’s as a duty not in loveB. Living double life, outwardly religious, but does not walk after Him during the weekC. Following YHWH’s feasts, not in love, but in form only

That’s what we will look at today – Where is Our Heart?
