Show Notes

Nobody wakes up one day and decides to drift away from God.

Spiritual drift rarely happens all at once. It begins with subtle compromises, deceptive ideas, and desires that slowly pull our hearts away from God's truth.

In this sermon message from Pastor Nick Tallo in Ephesians 5:3-7, we're reminded that before our behavior changes, something deeper is happening. What we believe shapes what we value, and what we value eventually determines the direction of our lives.

The good news? God isn't a prosecutor looking to condemn us—He's a loving Father and skilled Surgeon who exposes what is harming us so He can heal us and lead us into the life He created us to live.

📖 Scripture: Ephesians 5:3-7

💬 Key Thought:

"Drift begins with deception. Deception shapes our disordered devotions. And devotion determines our direction."
