Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this message by Pastor Johnny Coate, we explore what happens when our first love for Christ begins to fade—not suddenly, but gradually over time. Just like relationships that drift apart slowly, our walk with God can lose its passion without us even noticing.

Key Topics:
1. The Church of Ephesus: A model church that lost its first love

2. How spiritual drift happens gradually, not overnight

3. The danger of loving the work of God more than God Himself

4. Practical steps to restore passion in your relationship with Christ

5. Application to marriage: When love fades slowly in relationships

6. The importance of making Christ your top priority

7. Remember, Repent, Repeat: God's prescription for spiritual renewal

May this message help you identify if you've left your first love for Christ, recognize the signs of spiritual drift in your life, understand how to restore passion in your relationship with God, apply biblical principles to strengthen your marriage and take practical action steps to reignite your faith. This message is perfect for Christians feeling distant from God, for married couples experiencing drift in their relationship, for church leaders concerned about spiritual vitality, for anyone seeking to deepen their walk with Christ and for those struggling with going through the motions in faith.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
