To Jewish converts in Ephesus and area
Community dear to Paul
Planting of the church at Ephesus. Paul’s first and hurried visit for the space of three months to Ephesus is recorded in Acts 18:19–21. (second missionary journey)
The work he began on this occasion was carried forward by Apollos (24–26) and Aquila and Priscilla. On his second visit,
(third missionary journey)
early in the following year, he remained at Ephesus “three years,” for he found it was the key to the western provinces of Asia Minor. Here “a great door and effectual” was opened to him (1 Cor. 16:9), and the church was established and strengthened by his assiduous labors there (Acts 20:20, 31).
From Ephesus as a centre the gospel spread abroad “almost throughout all Asia” (19:26). The word “mightily grew and prevailed” despite all the opposition and persecution he encountered.
Where he said his farewells in Acts 20:13-38.spend some time here……..
Letter of encouragement to the “saints” first missionary journey stayed three months and the second missionary
journey stayed three years and saw it as a gateway for ministry in that area….

Stay Current
Intentionally
How we are doing
News has an encouraging effect
put you "in the know"
tell you all things about me
what I am doing - from word translated - to take things meekly, calmly....
Tychicus is sent for the purpose of sharing an update
whose name means fortunate, fortuitous, in other words, its usually a good things happen when this guy is around.....
so you will know the things concerning us
and to encourage you.....the word used to describe one who comes alongside
Tychicus was a man who practiced the ministry of presence....sometimes you actually need to "be there"
Go on a visit......

Peace of God -
absence of internal turmoil
flows out of peace with God
Praying for each other Phil 4:4-8
Sense of Family -
Tychicus is a dear brother in the Lord
Peace of God - in your direction, towards you
brethren, brothers of God
NLT says brothers and sisters, which is a reflection of the text's intent
Love of God -
the glue that bonds the family of God together
to be so moved with compassion for someone that you are compelled to act on their behalf before they even ask.....and often at great sacrifice to yourself
a statement of hope that we all would experience this sacrificial love in our lives
Faithfulness - Paul's statement of hope for the Ephesian Christians that God would give them the ability to love Him, one another, and be able to trust God with all areas of their lives
a trust that stems from faith in the Lord
Grace of God -
to give thanks
often used in the context of salvation, and Paul knows it is one of the things that ties us all together.....
Read John 8:1-11
Let him who without the need for grace cast the first stone...
undeserved favorable attitude towards someone
Eternal Attitude -
something that doesn't breakdown
doesn't rot
go out of style
May God's grace, an extension of His love, never wear out among those who love and follow Jesus
