About this episode

Pastor Nick discusses the importance of rekindling one's first love for Jesus, drawing from Revelation 2 and offering a three-step path back to passionate faith.

What if the fire you once had for Jesus has quietly burned down to embers? Pastor Nick unpacks Christ's sobering letter to the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2—a congregation doing everything right yet missing the one thing that matters most: their first love for Jesus. Like a marriage that drifts from passionate devotion into comfortable routine, faith can quietly lose its flame. Pastor Nick offers a powerful three-step path back—remember, repent, return. Don't let religion replace relationship. Watch or listen now—you don't want to miss this one. The first half of this audio is from missionary pastor Kirby McMunn, sharing about his family's missionary work in Poděbrady, Czechia. The second half is Pastor Nick's sermon from Revelation 2.
