Join Eric and Josh as they delve into the intriguing letter to the church in Ephesus. Discover the true meaning behind Christ's charge for them to return to their "first love". Explore the mysterious Nicolaitans and uncover their role in early Christian history.

We'll also uncover the underlying structure of the letters to the churches, and unravel how they all share a common narrative flow as follows:

1. Christ presents Himself with specific attributes particularly suitable to the situation of each church, faith which provides the basis for overcoming the specific problem faced
2. The condition and the particular problem are reviewed
3. On the basis of the situation and problem, Christ issues either an encouragement to either persevere or to repent in order to avoid judgment
4. This then forms the ground for Christ issuing a call for the churches to respond by heeding "hearing"
5. On the basis of a positive response "overcoming", Christ promises the inheritance of eternal life with Him
