No Doors, No Walls: The Church at Ephesus 9:30

No Doors, No Walls: The Church at Ephesus 9:30

Passage: Revelation 2:1-7

Speaker: Dr. Steven Laufer

Series: Interior Design

Category: Sunday Services

Keywords: church, love, mercy, salvation

Despite everything else the church does, the love of each other and the people outside the church give it all meaning. The church at Ephesus seemed to have forgotten this key characteristic. They were good with theology, testing the teachers around them, and handling other matters of structure and doctrine, but the practice of doing church was squelching the church’s love for one another and for those outside the community of faith. And if a church doesn’t have love, is it really a church?
