Summary
In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis wraps up his series on the church and looks to Revelation 2, where he examines the church of Ephesus.
On the surface this church is commended and affirmed for their diligence, discernment, and perseverance, and yet our Lord Jesus Christ will tell them that the most important element of a church is missing: a fervent love for Jesus Christ.

| 0:00.0 | Hey folks, my name is Johnny Artivannis and this is Dialin. I had a wonderful time this last week at the |
| 0:05.0 | Shepherds Conference in L.A. where over 5,000 pastors were gathered for a time of teaching from God's |
| 0:10.4 | Word and fellowship with one another. I went from there to Phoenix, Arizona, where I had the opportunity |
| 0:15.9 | to preach for my friend Kosti Hinn at his church, Shepard's House Bible Church in Phoenix, Arizona. I returned |
| 0:22.2 | last night, and I'm eager to get back and to really plug in both here for dial-in and also at my |
| 0:27.6 | Church, Stonebridge Bible in Franklin, Tennessee. In this episode, I want to finalize our study |
| 0:33.4 | and series on the local church. Almost a couple of months ago, we began by looking at the reality that Jesus Christ is building |

| 1:29.0 | In partnership with NASA, many schools all over the USA are broadcasting the launch of the space |
| 1:34.8 | shuttle, the Challenger. As one of their own heroes, Krista McColliffe, a social studies teacher |
| 1:40.9 | from Concord, New Hampshire, would be taken into space. |
| 1:48.8 | Krista, along with six others in the crew, were on board the Challenger that was scheduled to deploy communication satellites and study comets while they were in orbit. |
| 1:53.2 | President Ronald Reagan had scheduled the state of the union later on in the day so that he |
