Paul in Ephesus Pauls Ministry Early Church History and the Gospel in the Roman Empire
In this video, we explore the Apostle Paul’s ministry in Ephesus—one of the most significant moments in the spread of the early church and the advance of the gospel in the Roman Empire.
Ephesus was a major center of trade, religion, and political influence, and Paul’s time there marked a turning point in the growth of Christianity throughout Asia Minor.

Paul’s arrival and ministry strategy in Ephesus
The spiritual and cultural environment of the city
