from Collective Church Omaha · host Collective Church
❤️❤️ "The greatest danger in following Jesus is not abandoning Him. It's continuing to do things for Him while no longer being deeply in love with Him. Good things become bad things when they replace a relationship with God." — Pastor Morgan Are you busy for God, but no longer deeply in love with God? Continuing our summer series, Pastor Morgan shares a critical wake-up call from Jesus' letter to the Church of Ephesus in Revelation 2. Ephesus was a strong, hard-working, and spiritually impressive church—yet they received a sharp rebuke: they had abandoned their first love. Morgan challenges us to audit our own hearts, exposing how easily accidental drift, routine, and even the grind of serving can erode our intimacy with Christ. Watch to discover Jesus' three-step blueprint to bridge the gap and safely navigate your way back to a passionate, primary connection with Him. ------------------------------------- 📖 Bible References & YouVersion Links Revelation 2 : 1-7 – The letter to the Church of Ephesus regarding their first love. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/REV.2.1-7.ESV Proverbs 3 : 9 – Honoring the Lord with your first fruits. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/PRO.3.9.ESV Matthew 6 : 21 – Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. https://www.bible.com/bible/59/MAT.6.21.ESV ------------------------------------- 00:00 - Mid-Year Check-In & The Lean In Challenge 04:02 - The Corporate Commitment Prayer 06:13 - Revelation 2: Coaching the Church of Ephesus 11:58 - The Trap of Being Professionally Christian 19:11 - Step 1: Remember (Cultivating a Mindset of Gratitude) 27:02 - Step 2: Repent (Acknowledge the Accidental Drift) 29:21 - Step 3: Return (Repositioning Your Priorities & Closing Prayer) ------------------------------------- For any information, how to connect, and/or prayer requests: https://form.church/youcollectiveomaha We'd love to hear from you!
