Have you ever felt like your relationship with Jesus has lost its spark—that "first love" fire you once had? You're not alone.
Dr. Randy Turpin explores Christ's heart-stirring message to the church at Ephesus in Revelation 2, unpacking Jesus' three-step prescription for reviving first love devotion: Remember, Repent, and Return. Drawing from both Revelation 2, Paul's letter to the Ephesians, and the book of Acts, he reveals what those "first things" actually looked like—from fervent faith and sacrificial love to costly obedience.
This message is about rekindling the passionate, expectant relationship with Christ that transforms everything. Whether you're a new believer or have walked with Jesus for decades, this message offers hope and practical steps for returning to intimate devotion.
This episode may be perfect for anyone who feels spiritually dry or yearns for a deeper intimacy with Jesus.
