We often think of the ministry of the Apostles as always being adventurous and excited, filled with feats of bravery and miraculous events. Yet while that is usually true, there is more to the story. In Acts chapter 19 we find Paul fulfilling his promise to return to Ephesus. He meets some disciples there, who, like Apollos, didn’t quite get the baptism piece right, so Paul corrects them. Then he did what he always did, he started preaching in the synagogue sharing about Jesus and he did this for 3 months. And when he wore out his welcome, he rented a local classroom and preached and taught every day for two years. Two years of faithful gospel proclamation. And what came of it? The gospel was spread all over Asia Minor. It was this faithful ministry of Paul in Ephesus that became the launchpad for the seven churches of Revelation.
