Week 1 | Timeless: Ephesians | Matt Robinson
Description
Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: Ephesians 1:1-14
•
When Paul wrote the book of Ephesians, the city of Ephesus was in the midst of its Golden Age. The temple of Artemis, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, wasn’t just a center for worship, but also the regional commerce and banking center. This encapsulates so much of what had shaped the city into the thriving hub that it was. A multitude of deities were worshipped there which created great opportunities for local businesses to capitalize on those religions. The book of Acts says that the word of the Lord prevailed mightily there. This created a great deal of friction between the culture of the city and the mission of the church. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians reminded them of their spiritual reality in spite of their present circumstances. We too need to hear Paul’s words and be reminded of our spiritual reality.
