The Lord’s Word to His Church: Ephesus (Revelation 2:1–7)

Summary

The sermon discusses the historical significance of Saint Bartholomew's Day, referencing the 1572 massacre of French Protestants and the 1662 Great Ejection of 2,000 Puritan pastors in England due to the Act of Uniformity, seen as a spiritual disaster. It warns of increasing hostility toward the truth in current times, citing potential legislation and a growing paganism, and concludes by urging faithfulness to God's Word, drawing parallels to the perseverance of William Tyndale and the messages to the seven churches in Revelation.
