Ep.116 - Seven Churches Speak: When Love Grows Cold - Ephesus

Is it possible to be doctrinally astute, theologically correct, scripturally protective, and yet be displeasing to God? Is it possible that we can become so focused on making sure we are saying and believing the right thing that we become dislocated from doing the right thing? Is what we think always inevitably tied to what we do, or can we find ourselves believing one thing and doing another?

In this first episode of our new series ‘Seven Churches Speak’, Pete and the Curious team take a look at the Church in Ephesus. Ephesus was a church commended by Jesus for their dedication and commitment to orthodoxy. They guarded their pulpit with an impressive zeal. However, even amidst such pious and particular orthodoxy; these Ephesian believers let slip the most fundamental of necessities; the need to love God and loved one another 

This week the Curious Team take a look at how this particular Ephesian problem can be an often is a universal church problem here in the 21st-century. Tune in this week as the team take a deeper look into the church Ephesus.
