The Church at Ephesus: From Acts to Revelation

“I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name’s sake, and have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have left your first love.” (Revelation 2:2-4).
Including this message from the book of Revelation, there is more written in the New Testament about and to the church at Ephesus than any other local church. This creates a unique opportunity to observe this church over decades of time and learn from its successes and failures. This book, The Church at Ephesus, presents a summary of the Bible’s writings concerning this church, including a study of the apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. These writings are timeless and indispensable for Christians and churches in their pursuit of God’s will. They are useful not only for explaining the design and function of the church but also for teaching Christians how to live faithfully in the Lord Jesus
