Like in any relationship, the initial passion and love we had for God when we first met Him can start to fade over time. Especially when we go through hard times or difficult seasons, we can lose sight of the 'first love fire' that we had for God when we started walking with Him. This happened to the church in Ephesus too, and in this message, Pastor Jason Ballard of The Way Church shows us how Jesus commends and corrects the church in Ephesus to reignite their first love for God, and calls us to do the same as we come through this current, challenging season.
Jason Ballard is the pastor of The Way Church in Vancouver, BC, as well as the host of the Youth Alpha Series; a video series that has been used around the world to help young people share the gospel with their friends! He also is a member of the Canadian Church Leaders Network; an organization committed to serving church leaders in Canada and developing the next generation of ministers who will lead the church of tomorrow, and hosts the Canadian Church Leaders Podcast.
