Episode description as stored
Have you been serving, staying doctrinally sound, and doing all the “right” Christian things—but feel your love for Jesus growing cold? In Revelation 2, Jesus praises the church in Ephesus for their diligence, discernment, and perseverance, but then gives a sobering rebuke: “You have left your first love.” This episode is sponsored by The Master's University. To learn more about how you can invest in a college education devoted to Christ & Scripture, visit: https://www.masters.edu In this episode, we unpack what it means to leave your first love (not in sequence, but in prominence) and why a cold, apathetic heart is spiritually dangerous—even if your life looks strong on the surface. Using the Challenger space shuttle tragedy as an illustration of a “missing critical piece,” we look at Christ’s clear prescription for spiritual apathy: Remember where you’ve fallen (preach the gospel to yourself) Repent (this is a heart issue, not just burnout) Return to “the deeds you did at first” We also discuss what those “first deeds” can look like: renewed hunger for God’s Word, fervent prayer, love for God’s people, evangelistic zeal, and honest confession—not just going through the motions. If you’ve been asking: “Why don’t I love Jesus like I used to?” “How do I overcome spiritual dryness?” “What does Revelation 2 teach the church today?” …this conversation is for you. Scripture: Revelation 2:1–7
