It's a danger to allow 'Church-tianity' to take us away from True Christianity; distractions to draw us from our first love for Jesus. 3 things we need to do if we have wandered away, or risk losing the lampstand – Remember, Repent and Return!

A reminder for us soulpreneurs:You have to do stuff you don't naturally love… until you have enough money to do only what you love.Building a business as a solopreneur involves a huge variety of tasks and projects, most of which you wouldn't naturally have thought – “This was what I was looking forward to doing, day to day, with an authentic business!”The stronger your passion and vision for what should be your ideal work, the stronger you'll feel the gap. The destination seems so far from where you are now.The sane solution? You'll have to practice loving what you “have to” do now, to make money, so you can – one day in future – make money doing only what you love. This is a public episode.

Catching you up on episodes 2-6 of Love Island Games, sharing my FIRST time viewer impressions (and questions) from Love After Lockup S6 Part 2, and reflecting back on my interview with Welcome to Plathville star Olivia Plath. What are you watching?

No matter where the church may be found throughout history and around the world, the foundation remains the same – it is Jesus Christ! The early church was known by their love, that first love of being near to Christ that poured out through them onto a waiting world. How are we doing with that […] The post First Love appeared first on Rockpointe Community Church.

God created us male and female, each with unique roles that reflect His image and purpose in marriage. While culture has tried to blur and complicate gender, Scripture makes clear that both man and woman are distinct yet equal, designed to complement one another. The principle of first love shows us that marriages thrive when husbands sacrificially love their wives, modeling the love of Christ for the Church. In this message, Pastor Jimmy Witcher reminds us that when we embrace God's design for gender and marriage, our relationships reflect the very love and unity of the Godhead.

In Revelation 2:1–7, Jesus commends the church at Ephesus for their perseverance and endurance but confronts them for drifting from their first love. This message invites us to examine our own hearts, repent of empty religion, and return to a real relationship with Jesus — allowing His mercy and forgiveness to reignite our love for Him and for others. True mission and lasting fruit flow only from the overflow of first love.

sermon

They say you never forget your first love. And maybe that's true - not because it was perfect, but because it carried an intensity that later relationships rarely match. Years later, a song, a name, or a face in a crowd can bring the memory back, fresh and overwhelming.In this episode, we talk about first crushes, awkward kisses, and secret teenage romances. Some stories are sweet, others bittersweet, but all of them remind us how powerful those early feelings can be - and how they stay with us, even when everything else has moved on.Listen in for reflections on:Why first love often feels more vivid than later relationshipsHow memory reshapes our earliest experiences of desire and disappointmentThe sweet, sometimes innocent intensity of loving for the very first time

In this first message of our new Revelation series, Pastor Jason lays the foundation for understanding this powerful book of the Bible. He unpacks the context and dives into the very first letter to the church in Ephesus where Jesus warns that they have lost their first love. It is a timely reminder for us all: we can be busy doing good works, but if our love for Christ is not at the center, we have missed the heart of it all.

Speak the Word with Pastor Jo Anne Ramsay

GG Hawkins sits down with Carmen Emmi (director, writer) and Erik Vogt-Nilsen (editor) of Plainclothes, a striking debut feature that blends the aching vulnerability of first love with the sharp tension of queer identity under surveillance. Set in 1997 and laced with nostalgic Hi8 footage, the film isn't just a period piece — it's a raw, intimate time capsule of self-discovery, repression, and resilience. This episode dives deep into the emotional and creative process behind the film, from Sundance dreams to strawberry farm editing sessions and how true collaboration can unlock something extraordinary. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss… The genesis and central themes of Plainclothes, including first love/obsession, policing emotions, identity, nostalgia, and honesty in queer storytelling Why the 1990s setting — especially 1997 — was chosen, both for personal reasons and as a tool for emotional resonance How Carmen and Erik came together creatively, even though Erik joined after principal photography, and how they structured their collaboration (the “Editing Intentions” document, visits, tone setting, etc.) The editorial process: charting out passes, refining scenes, balancing structure vs. emotional truth, and maintaining rawness from the editor's cut through to the final version Test screenings: what kinds of feedback matter, figuring out clarity vs. ambiguity in the narrative, audience confusion around timelines, and how those screenings shaped the final cut On‑set dynamics: director's approaches, setting tone (no yelling unless dire), using music on set, capturing wordless moments, incubating trust and structure among cast and crew Filmmaking tools & creative choices: use of Hi8 footage to express internal states like anxiety; letting instinct and experimentation guide sequences; integrating personal memory and sensory detail into the cinematic style Advice for emerging filmmakers: avoid perfectionism, work with collaborators or friends you trust, give ideas a chance in editing, accept that not everything needs to be precious, learn from every project Memorable Quotes: “It was really, every creative decision I made was like, it was all stemmed from like, what does it feel like to police your feelings?” “One rule. And that was no yelling on set unless like someone's life was in danger…” “We had a lot of love for the story … there was so much levity and play in the edit room … even though we were dealing with very serious kind of themes…” “Give every idea a try … you don't have to spend too much time on it, if it's not working. But … that yes and‑kind of mentality … unlocks stuff you would never think of.” Guests: Carmen Emmi Erik Vogt-Nilsen Resources: Plainclothes Official Trailer I Really Love My Husband Screenings Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

Raj Prakash Paul || The Lord's Church India

It is a perilous thing, in this passing world, to place any love above Jesus Christ, who is Love Himself. Many fair things there are under the sun – family, our houses, the laughter of children, and the solace of deep companionship. These are good, and given as gifts by the Giver of all light. Yet they are but reflections, glimmering on the surface of the water, of the Great Light from Heaven.Our hearts, being frail and easily beguiled, are prone to cling to the reflection, forgetting the Sun. But the Lord, who is both Shepherd and King, calls us to a higher love, a consuming fire that purifies all others. “If anyone comes to Me and hates not father and mother, wife and children…”-- so He speaks, not to destroy love, but to order it aright. For in such words there is no call to cruelty or coldness, but rather to a fierce allegiance, a loyalty that puts first things first. He who is before all must be above all, or else all loves grow crooked and dim.To follow Him is to lay down even the fairest treasures of earth, not in bitterness, but in trust that they shall be returned transfigured. He does not take away to impoverish, but to sanctify. He wants to place every love, every joy, every sorrow, into its proper place beneath the crown of His lordship. Only then do the lesser loves shine with true glory, flowing as clear streams from the great Fountain. For when He is the first love, all else is redeemed; but when He is set aside, even good things become shadows and burdens.So let the heart be steadfast. Let Him be the axis upon which all turns, the melody to which all harmonies must bend. For He alone is the End and the Way, the Flame imperishable, the Love that neither fades nor fails.Yet the path of such love is not without its trials. For the heart must be weaned from many lesser loves, and this weaning is often bitter. The soul may cry out, fearing loss, misunderstanding the command as cruelty. But here lies the mystery: in surrender, we are not emptied, but filled. In placing Christ first – before family, before comfort, before even our own lives – we are not forsaking love, but entering into its truest form. For He is the source from which all loves spring, and without Him, they wither like leaves in a wind.Consider the saints of old, who counted all things loss for the surpassing worth of knowing Him. They were not joyless, nor did they despise the earth, but they saw clearly. Their gaze was fixed beyond the hills, upon a country greater and a King more worthy than all earthly crowns. We too must learn this wisdom: that every good thing flows rightly from a heart anchored in Christ. To love Him first is not to love others less, but more purely, more freely, and with eternity in view. For only in His light do we see light and only in His love are all other loves made whole. Once we order our love properly, then we can finally say with St. Paul as we heard in the Second Reading today, “I (am), an old man, and now also a prisoner for Christ Jesus.” And rejoice! --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.
