How Can We Be Discerning Like the Church in Ephesus?

November 20, 2025 • Christ Church IL • Season 14 • Episode 32

In this Revelation Devotional, Senior Pastor Mike Woodruff examines what it means to have the discernment of the church in Ephesus today. The church in Ephesus was commended for testing false teachers and hating the sinful practices that God also hates. But how do we practice this kind of biblical discernment in our polarized world, especially when it comes to political issues? Pastor Mike explores the critical balance between holding firmly to truth and maintaining Christ-like love for people. Learn how to reject evil and hypocrisy without falling into harshness, and how to start with repentance in your own heart before seeking to correct others.
