Love Corrects and Teaches | Cory Tobin

In Jesus' letters to the seven churches in Revelation, we discover a powerful truth: the love of Christ doesn't leave us where we are. It lovingly calls us closer through correction. 

Each church received something different from Jesus. Some were encouraged. Some were challenged. Some were corrected. But every message flowed from the same heart—a Savior who deeply loves His people and desires their spiritual growth.

One of the strongest warnings comes to the church in Ephesus. They were doing many things right, but they had drifted from what mattered most: their first love. Jesus' invitation wasn't condemnation—it was an invitation to return to relationship with Him.

In this message, you'll discover:
• Why biblical correction is an expression of God's love
• Why truth and grace always work together
• What it means to return to your first love
• How loving correction produces spiritual growth and maturity

God doesn't correct us to shame us. He corrects us because He doesn't want us to drift, settle, or miss everything He has for us. His discipline is evidence of His care, His mercy, and His commitment to forming us into the image of Christ.
