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 Je...
