LEAVING YOUR FIRST LOVE - Revelation 2:1-7

Calvary BFC

Every year people ask if Valentine’s Day is necessary. If we really love someone, do we need a day to tell them? Shouldn’t we live in a loving way every day? But maybe Valentine’s Day should be a reminder of something that is true all the time. And maybe that reminder can help us all year long.
