  • The Church At Ephesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 4, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,187 views

    What can we learn today from the Church at Ephesus, one of the seven churches in Revaltion2 -3 ?

    Many people are frightened by the book of Revelation, because it seems to be unintelligible. I hope that, if not tonight, by the end of this sermon series at Advent, you’ll see that not only is it reasonably easy, with some careful background reading (which I’ve done on your behalf), for ...read more

    What can we learn today from the churches at Smyrna and Pergamum, one of the seven churches in Revelation 2-3 ?

    Why would letters be written to these churches? Well, Smyrna was a very important centre of trade, with a valuable harbour, and big wine business. It was a very beautiful city, even outstanding. In all the civil wars, the people of Smyrna always chose the right side to be: it was politically ...read more

    the next sermon in the series on the seven churches of Asia

    And so we come to the church at Thyatira. This is the longest of the seven letters, which, ironically, was written to the smallest and least important city. Unlike the other towns, we don’t know very much about Thyatira, so it’s not so easy to understand and interpret the contents of the letter. ...read more

    The message to the church in Sardis and it’s relevance to us today

    Over the last few weeks in the United Reformed Church, we’ve been looking at the stories of some churches, and seeing what they might have to say to us today. These stories are in the book of Revelation, and they take the form of letters that were written to these churches. Like all of the book ...read more

    setup sermon for a study of the 7 churches found in Rev. 2-3

    From Your Mouth To My Ears Rev 1:9-11, 17-20 One of the things I have heard over and over in our fellowship is the need to be like the church of the Bible. That sounds great, but which church are we supposed to be like? The church in Jerusalem that was bigoted? Corinth with it?s immorality ...read more

    The church in Ephesus

    The Careless Church Rev 2:1-7 Muynak was once a thriving port on the Aral Sea, but today it sits on the edge of a bitter, salty desert.

    Pergamum

    Pergamum: The Compromising Church Rev 2:12-17 One of biggest questions that I have struggled with since becoming a minister, and even before, is how wrong can a church be, and still be right? Some would say that is a simple question to answer, a church cannot be wrong at all! This week I got a ...read more

    Sardis: The Feeble Church Last week I was reading a book about a group of fighters battling for Good against insurmountable odds. Your typical fantasy book.

    Philadelphia: The Faithful Church Rev 3:7-13 The Christian race is not a competitive event to see who comes in first, but an endurance run to see who finishes faithfully.

    Intro to the “Seven Letters to Seven Churches” series. Seven churches enduring difficult times: persecution. As we go through this the next 7 weeks, let’s ask ourselves, “Is this our church?
