The Ephesians Story (Part 3)

This profound message of Gene Edwards plunges us into the gritty, desperate reality of first-century life in towns like Colossi, where the “great unwashed” lived short lives marked by filth and malnutrition. We see how the spiritual gifts—from the brother who gives comfort to the unorganized “apostle”—emerged “organically and naturally” within the local fellowship, not through programs or structure. Most critically, we witness the unique peculiarity of the Christian faith: new converts being quickened to immediately fall in love with one another. The sources reveal that the greatest instrument of evangelism the world has ever known is the church herself, magnetic and inseparable from the gospel life. Come discover the authentic, compelling power of the Ecclesia that defied the norms of the ancient world.
