Losing Your Excitement.
Revelation
Notice the text verse!
Revelation
Jesus Said “Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee,”
Why is that you ask?
Simple, “Because thou hast left thy first love.”
Pray
Jesus didn’t say they lost it, He said they left there first love.
There are a lot of Christian’s out there.
That are not as happy, and they don’t have the joy or excitement that they once had.
Because they left there First Love.
Pray
I. Why Do People Leave Their First Love?
When a Christian first gets saved.
Do you remember when you first got saved?
There was excitement,
You could walk on air,
Your heart felt like it could beat out of your chest,
You where faithful to the Lord, to the church and it’s ministries
You didn’t miss a s
You participated in the singing of hymns, even though you couldn’t carry a note in a bucket.
You didn’t miss a single service,
You couldn’t wait till the next service,
You had Joy, Excitement, and Zeal.
People that have been saved a year or less are harder worker most of the time, than people who have been saved for years.
Why does this happen?
Many have said, “I have reached the mountain top in my life!”
My Spiritual Peak in my life.
And once I reached it, it’s all down hill from there.
Some of you are here right now.
There was a time, you couldn’t get enough of Jesus Christ.
There was a time you couldn’t get enough of church.
There was a time you couldn’t get enough of your prayer life.
But, Something has has happen.
The Bible calls it Leaving Your First Love.
How does this happen?
Because it affects many, many, people here this morning.
Remember when you took a trip somewhere you never been before?
You where excited, it was a new adventure.
It was a place you never been too.
Then you returned the next year, then the next.
It wasn’t as exciting as it was the first time.
Why?
Because you been there before.

A Time When You Were Thrilled To Be A Christian.
Do you remember that time?
When you were thrilled to learn the things of God.
The Doctrines
You learn about the Grace of God.
How sweet the Grace of God is,
How God could take a no good sinner and forgive them, and save them.
You learned about security,
You realized you where saved, but saved forever,
You say, I didn’t know that I was not saved until I sin, but I was saved forever.
That sweet doctrine of Eternal Security.
Then you learned about the Rapture.
Jesus Christ will one day come back for His Church,
Then you learned about the Millennial Reign of Jesus Christ.
You learn that we will be in Heaven for 7 years after the Rapture, Then we will come back with Jesus to reign for a 1,000 years.
Then you learned a little bit about Heaven, Didn’t you?
You heard about the place your going to go to after you die.

Some of you might even thought that this is a perfect church.
Remember what you thought of Bro.
Mike?
That perfect man that stands behind the pulpit.
You didn’t realize that your pastor was so, hansom did you?
A well chiseled muscular pastor.
What I’m trying to say, Church met so much to you.
Your first trip
You couldn’t get enough of Friendship Baptist Church.
You had a new life in Jesus Christ.
