    The Church At Ephesus Series

    Contributed by Michael Hopkins on Oct 4, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,155 views

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

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

    All Christians are called into God’s Church. And all are given gifts that they may play their part in the life and ministry in the Church. Each person’s gifting needs recognition, not least by church leadership

    In that passage from Ephesians chapter four that we heard, Paul begins by saying that he wants his Christian readers to live lives that are worthy of the calling they have received; lives which are ’worthy’ in the sense of being worth-while and of refelcting that calling- that their calling by God ...read more

    The blooms of the fig tree always appear before the leaves in spring. When Jesus saw leaves on a fig tree, he expected the fruit.

This tree was a fruit-producing plant which could be either a tall tree or a low-spreading shrub. The size of the tree depended on its location and soil. The fruit of the ...read more
