11 | When My Love For Christ Grows Cold Part II (Rev. 2:4-5)

02/02/25 • 39 min

Sunday Renewal | Christian Podcast, Biblical Encouragement, Spiritual Growth

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things—serving, praying, standing for truth—but your heart feels distant from Christ? The fire that once burned so brightly has faded into routine.

That’s exactly what happened to the church in Ephesus. Outwardly, they were strong in doctrine and perseverance, but Jesus saw what no one else could: they had abandoned their first love.

In this episode, we continue our deep dive into Revelation 2:4-5, where Jesus not only exposes this spiritual drift but also calls His people back to passionate, wholehearted love for Him.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ The warning signs of a fading love for Christ—and how to recognize them in your own life.
✅ Jesus’ three-step prescription to restore your passion and devotion.
✅ Why faithfulness without love is dangerous—and how to rekindle what’s been lost.

If you’ve been feeling spiritually distant or just going through the motions, this message is for you. Jesus isn’t calling you out—He’s calling you back.

Are you doing all the right things—serving, showing up, and staying committed—but feeling distant from Christ? It’s possible to look faithful on the outside while your heart quietly drifts from Him.

In this episode of Sunday Renewal, we dive into Revelation 2:1-4 and unpack Jesus’s message to the church in Ephesus. While they were hard-working and doctrinally sound, they had abandoned the love they once had for Him. If you’ve ever felt like your faith has become a routine or wondered how to restore the passion you once had, this episode is for you.

Together, we’ll explore:
✅ What it means to leave your first love—and how to recognize it.
✅ Why busyness for Christ isn’t the same as intimacy with Him.
✅ Three practical steps to reignite your love for Jesus and revive your faith.

Don’t let your faith grow cold. Jesus doesn’t just call us out—He calls us back. Let this episode inspire you to return to the vibrant, joyful love that started it all.
