Farewell to Ephesians

Saying goodbye to Ephesians can be hard to do, so this message seeks to examine what message we should take with us as we bring this series to a conclusion. This message examines the intended affect of Ephesians by analyzing Christ's assessment of the church of Ephesus in Revelation 2:1-7. It is clear from this passage that 35 years later the letter to Ephesus was still having an impact on the church. The church was holding fast to the doctrine Paul expounded in this letter but had fallen away from its evangelistic calling. This sermon reminds us that the church must not forsake either its call to evangelize nor its obligation to maintain sound doctrine. By making both of these a priority the church will continue to experience the intended affect of Ephesians.
