On October 26th, we reached the 4th and final installment of our REPENT series, and Pastor James Ray Taylor closed it with a foundational call: MGFA — Make God First Again.

In this message, Pastor Taylor walks us through Christ’s direct words to the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:1–5—a piercing reminder that even the strongest, most seasoned believers can drift from what matters most.

As we conclude the REPENT series, we’re invited into the heart of biblical repentance—
Remember. Repent. Return.

• Remember what God saved you from and where He brought you.
• Repent—turn back, change your mind, realign with His heart.
• Return to fervent love and devoted worship of Jesus Christ.

This final installment exposes the subtle ways we, like Ephesus, can drift:
— When work for God overshadows worship of God
— When wealth interferes with witness
— When public persona replaces personal practice
— When prominence becomes more appealing than humility and unity

Jesus’ warning is sobering: while salvation remains, the lampstand—authority, influence, and spiritual impact—can be removed if we refuse to return to our First Love.

At The Garden Life Church, our path is clear:
Meet God. Be Planted. Grow Strong. Bear Fruit.
Repentance is the soil where deep transformation begins.

If God is calling you back, this message is your invitation to return to the place where your love burned brightest.
