🔥 SEASON 12 EPISODE 1 — “First Thing First” | Pastor Ryan McVety | The River Worship

In the Season 12 premiere of The River, Pastor Ryan McVety delivers a timely and powerful message straight from the heart of Revelation 2:2–5. This sermon is a wake-up call to the busy but broken, the faithful but far, and the active but absent. Jesus isn't calling us to just keep going—He’s calling us back to our first love.

💥 “Remember the things you did at first.”

This isn’t just another Sunday message. It’s a battle cry for a distracted generation. In a world fighting for our attention, Pastor Ryan breaks down how our spiritual lives suffer not from rebellion, but from misplaced focus. With boldness, clarity, and compassion, he challenges us to return to three powerful postures of first love:

1. Attention – You once gave God your focus; does He still have it?
2. Affection – You once worshipped freely and loudly; what silenced your praise?
3. Adoration – You once bowed your heart; will you surrender again?

🚨 “The true battleground for your eternity is the battleground of your attention.”

This message is full of revelation, real-life conviction, and practical steps to return to intimacy with God. With relatable moments, powerful reels, and biblical truth, Pastor Ryan calls us to draw a line in the sand and put first things first again.
