Message from Ryan Delling – Live from Ancient Ephesus!

What's up King and King's family!

This is Ryan, standing here right now in ancient Ephesus, at the church of Ephesus, the very first church that Jesus wrote to in the Book of Revelation. This place was an early apostolic center, much like King of Kings is today. It was planted by the Apostle Paul, and he placed Timothy in charge.

Behind me, off in the distance, is the actual amphitheater where Paul was arrested, and the riot took place. The Ephesians cried out, "Great is Artemis of the Ephesians," right here!

The letter to the church in Ephesus reminds us that although they did so much right—judging false apostles, persevering, and being strong in their faith—they had forgotten their first love. Let this be a reminder to us all: though we may be strong in our ministry, worship, and outreach, we must never forget the importance of the presence of God and our first love.

Sending love from Ephesus! May we always prioritize God's presence in all that we do.

Ryan
