In this uncompromising 6-part series on Jesus’ letter to the church in Ephesus, Dr. Michael Youssef calls believers back to their first love. Rooted in the inerrant Word of God, this series reveals what it truly means to love the Lord Jesus Christ with all your mind, heart, soul, and memory. With clarity and urgency, Dr. Youssef exposes the dangers of spiritual drift, cultural compromise, and forgetfulness of God’s grace. Each message calls for repentance, renewed intimacy with Christ, and wholehearted devotion to the crucified and risen Son of God. As you remember His saving work and grow in daily obedience, you will deepen your love for Jesus and stand firm in Gospel Truth.

In this message, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that every believer will face trials, prosperity, correction, and cultural pressure that can either deepen or derail love for Jesus Christ. The issue is not the obstacle but the response. Because Scripture is the inerrant Word of God and Jesus is the crucified and risen Lord, we must repent when our love grows cold. Pride that rejects correction, refusal to change, and conformity to the world will choke spiritual growth. True love for Christ means loving what He loves—redeeming sinners and honoring His Truth. As we travel through this world, we must intercede for steadfast faith, resist compromise, and press on in daily devotion to Him.
