Ep 229 | 7 Churches of Revelation - Ephesus, Part 1

 • Series: Seven Churches of Revelation: Lukewarm Christianity

As we continue our series on the churches in Revelation, we head to Ephesus—the church that started strong but lost its first love. Matt, Bobby, and the Northwoods team dives into the city’s historical and biblical background, from its commercial power and idol worship to its gospel legacy through Paul, Priscilla, Aquila, and Timothy. Along the way, the guys share some laughs about childhood obsessions (Pokemon and Pop-Tarts, anyone?) and reflect on how churches today can avoid losing their passion. Plus, hear why church splits aren’t always what they seem and how God uses crisis for kingdom growth.
