14th October 2018 - Guarding Our Lampstand For Jesus - Sandeep Poonen
Summary
The message draws parallels between the Israelites' poor offerings described in Malachi 1 and the spiritual decline of the Church in Ephesus, as detailed in Revelation 2. The central warning is that merely going through the motions of religious duty or ritualistic obedience is insufficient for God. True devotion requires offering one's best and first love, or else the spiritual presence (the lampstand) risks being removed.

Spiritual Authority Protects the Church -- Zac Poonen -- September 22, 2023
Zac Poonen · Sep 27, 2023
The speaker emphasizes that true submission to authority, whether in life, work, or home, is vital, contrasting this with the casual acceptance of things like ice cream. He draws heavily from Paul's ministry in Ephesus, warning that churches can become doctrinally accurate but lose their fervent love for Christ, leading the Lord to 'remove the lampstand' (de-recognize them). The ultimate call is to return to the first love and remain in the presence of the Lord, even if it means leaving the established institution.
