You Can Be Busy for God… and Still Far from Him | Seven Wk 01

In this message, Pastor Rodney launches our brand new series, "Seven: Letters to the Churches," by exploring Jesus’ message to the church in Ephesus—a church known for its sound doctrine, spiritual grit, and hard work... but one that had lost the very thing that mattered most: its first love.

Jesus isn’t looking for performance—He’s longing for presence. This sermon challenges us to consider what Jesus would find if He walked through the doors of our churches—or our hearts—today. Would He find passion or just polished programs? Fire or just faithfulness? The truth is, you can be doctrinally solid, morally upright, and spiritually busy... and still be drifting away from Jesus in your heart.

In this powerful teaching from Revelation 2:1–7, Pastor Rodney walks us through Jesus' gracious but honest call to:

Remember where we were,

Repent from the drift,

and Return to the love we had at first.

If you’ve ever felt like your faith has turned into a checklist instead of a relationship, or that your spiritual life is more about duty than delight—this message is for you. Jesus sees you, knows you, and is inviting you back into intimacy with Him.
