Episode 51: Christ desires you to OVERCOME, are you? (Part 1 - Ephesus)

In this upcoming series we will be doing a few episodes looking at Jesus' final words to his church.  His desire is for the church to overcome or to conquer.  Now some may think it doesn't really matter in the end, however, Jesus has some stern warnings to some of these churches if they do not overcome or fix the current problem that he sees.  The consequences of not fixing the problem and overcoming are eternal consequences as we will find out as we at each church.

For the church of Ephesus, we find out they seemed to be doing everything well such as persevering, holding to the truth, exposing false teaching, and not growing weary.  But it appears in their focus to hold to the truth and refute the Nicolaitans, they somehow lost focus and left their first love.  If they don't repent, they are endanger of losing their lampstand and not eating from the tree of life.
