The Rise and Fall of Ephesus - Ajay Chakravarthy - June 30, 2019
Summary
The sermon uses the history of the church in Ephesus to illustrate spiritual lessons, comparing it to the sinking of the Titanic. The speaker emphasizes that natural gifting and eloquence, as seen with Paulus, are insufficient for God's work without the filling of the Holy Spirit. Furthermore, the example shows that initial interest in the word is not the true test; the true test is whether people are willing to obey the word when it convicts them, rather than becoming hardened or disobedient.

Devotion to Jesus and Being God's Mouth - Zac Poonen - May 29, 2017
Zac Poonen · May 30, 2017
The sermon warns that mere adherence to church roles or activities does not guarantee God's approval; true spiritual health requires maintaining one's initial, fervent love for Christ. Using the example of the church in Ephesus, the speaker emphasizes that even diligent service can become routine and lose its animating love, rendering it worthless before God. The core message is that all Christian action must spring from a pure devotion to Jesus Christ, which is the greatest commandment.
