Summary

Remember when you first came to the Lord? Remember your enthusiasm? Your commitment? Your love for Him? The promise of this first letter to the church of Ephesians is that if we’re in right relationship with Jesus Christ, then all other relationships will right themselves, too. The secret is turning—maybe it’s turning your back on sin, maybe it’s turning back to God, maybe it’s turning to Christ for salvation for the first time. Come ready to listen and do what God prompts you to do.

0:00.0	How firm a foundation,
0:04.5	Ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.
0:17.4	We live in a world that loves quick fixes.
0:20.7	Instant results, easy answers, shortcuts to success,

0:30.6	Dr. J. Vernon McGee calls that kind of shallow thinking band-aid belief. And it might cover the

0:59.8	us great context for understanding this wonderful book. We have come now to this great book of Revelation
1:06.8	that's like a great airport where planes are coming in from every direction and from strange
1:16.0	places, by the way. And you must understand where these planes come from to understand the

1:38.4	these great themes of prophecy. Every great theme of prophecy comes in to the book of revelation like a great airport
1:48.8	as a terminal where it's brought to a conclusion in this particular book. We are right now
1:56.3	talking about the church. Well, the church, you need to know where it began, back yonder at the day of
2:02.4	Panty Cause, something about it's over 1,900 years of history. And then this book will make it
