“The reason this podcast is now called Awake comes straight from Scripture—‘Awake, O sleeper, and rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’ This is a call to wake up spiritually, to move past comfort, past tradition, and into a faith that transforms lives. If you’re tired of surface-level Christianity, you’re in the right place.
Faith was never meant to be lived asleep. This is a wake-up call—to truth, to love, to real discipleship. If you’re ready to open your eyes and walk it out, welcome to Awake.”

First Love
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We've often heard "return to your first love." This morning, let's examine Revelation 2:4, which says, "Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love." This verse is key, and I also want us to read verse 5 for context. Jesus isn't saying our salvation will be taken away; let's be clear about that. The candlestick metaphor symbolizes the church's light and influence. God's warning shows his desire to restore his relationship with his people. Believers can renew their spiritual commitment by returning to their initial devotion and faith actions, avoiding the loss of God's guidance.
