Revelation 2:1–7

These days you can go online and find review of almost everything—from hotels and restaurants to barbershops, and even churches. Those types of reviews can be helpful, but they are highly subjective. But, what if there was a definitive review of specific churches given not by religious consumers, but by Jesus Himself? That is, in fact, what we find in the seven letters Jesus wrote to the seven churches of Asia Minor in the First Century. While these letters were written to specific churches in a specific time and place, they have enduring relevance for every church in every time and place. We begin with the church in Ephesus—a church with much to commend…and one glaring weakness.
