The Church in Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7)
The Ephesian church was a mighty church. Here Christianity experienced some of its first great victories. The Greek word for toil, kopos, tells us the church labored intensely, the Greek word for patient endurance hypomone tells us the church withstood difficulty gallantly, and the Greek word for tested, peirazo, tells us the Ephesian church was able to discern false doctrine from true. Yet, the Ephesian church had grown cold; it was rare to find them showing God’s love within their community.
