200

Pastor Jesse’s sermon “200” introduces the background and purpose of Ephesians, exploring Paul’s authorship, the letter’s connection to Ephesus, and the way Paul continued building leaders even while under house arrest. The message highlights the power of repentance through the story in Acts 19, where believers in Ephesus burned valuable sorcery scrolls worth the equivalent of 200 years of labor as an act of obedience and worship. Pastor Jesse challenges the church to ask what things may need to be surrendered, confessed, and “burned” so that we can be fully devoted to God.
