Pergamos: The Church That Married The World (Revelation 2:12-17)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 19, 2023

The city was known for its political power, intellectual achievements, and, like the other cities, a hub of pagan worship. It was also a wealthy ...read more

Potholes In The Road To Ephesus

Contributed by James May on Feb 13, 2013

This road of life often seems to have potholes that will throw us off course. We begin to go this way or that, and soon discover that we are off of the path that God desires us to use. That's when the warning of Jesus to the church at Ephesus is given;
