Sermon Title: “You Love That Loving Feeling”
November 1, 2020
Year of change and Covid – what a year it has been – it un steadies all of us.
First Love – when we first fall in love with something there is passion and a drive that moves us forward.
Time and circumstances can cause us to lose our first love – or passion.
Signs that we have lost our first love.
Discipline Fails
Standards Slip
Emotions Flatline
Galatians 4:13-16
So what do we do when we realize that we have Lost that Loving Feeling?
SWe want to bring things back like this:
Emotions
Standards
Discipline
But the reality is – in order to get the Loving feeling back we have to
Create Disciplines
Renew our level of standards
Express our emotions
Revelation 2:4-5
Questions for Reflection:
What do you do in moments of unsteadiness? What have been some things recently that have caused you to be unsteady?
Where in your life have you seen the passion that comes from a “first love?” What does that passion and drive look like?
How do you find yourself reacting in moments when you have lost your passion? (Failing in Discipline, Slipping in your Standards, or Flatline in Emotions)
What new practices do you need to place in your life to help re-establish your “first love?” Where can we choose to find our passion again?
