Revelation 2:1-7 Return to Your First Love
Episode 3
Monday, 22 June, 2026
It is possible to be busy doing good things while slowly losing the most important thing: a genuine love for Jesus Christ. The church of Ephesus was one of the most impressive churches in the early Christian world, yet Jesus warned them that they had abandoned their first love. Spiritual drift does not usually happen through disaster. It happens quietly, through small shifts in priority, when the work we do for God begins to replace our relationship with Him. Jesus gives a clear path back in Revelation 2:5, calling believers to remember where they have drifted, repent and turn back toward Him, and return to the daily spiritual habits that once fueled their love for Christ. No matter how far someone has drifted, as long as they are breathing, there is an opportunity to come back. He never leaves, and He is ready to restore anyone who turns back to Him.
