Pattern, Proof, Problem | 11-4-18

Summary

The sermon by Pastor Tim McCool explores the apostle Paul's pattern of teaching the church at Ephesus, emphasizing that Paul taught all the counsel of God without holding anything back. The proof of Paul's teaching is found in the book of Ephesians, which details the spiritual blessings and doctrines Paul shared, including God's choosing and predestination before the foundation of the world. However, the problem identified is that the church at Ephesus had left their first love, Christ, as revealed in Revelation 2, urging believers to repent and return to the foundational truths of the gospel. The message calls Christians to rediscover their first love by following Paul's pattern and embracing the full counsel of God.
