    Paul’s Service, Speech, And Stand

    A song that a lot of churches used to sing a lot, was, “I shall not be moved.”

    The chorus of that song goes like this, “I shall not be, I shall not be moved; I shall not be, I shall not be moved: just like a tree that’s planted by the waters, Lord, I shall not be moved.” But the problem with many of the saints of God singing that song is that they are not like a tree planted ...read more

    In chapter 19 we read where Paul's ministry reached its climax in Ephesus.

    God worked in a marvelous way! New converts actually forsook their former practice of black magic, and in a public burning, they destroyed over $10,000.00 worth of occult scrolls and magic charms, thus openly proclaiming their faith in the Lord Jesus. Illus: Wilmington states, "It is often ...read more

    When Sir Winston Churchill was a young man, he attended a preparatory school, and although he was in the lower third of his class, he graduated and went on to the university.

    After a successful military career and after having been elected Prime Minister of England twice, near the end of his life he was invited back to Harrow (the preparatory school) to address the students. His coming was announced, and all the students awaited the arrival of this great orator. The ...read more

    Paul Addressing The Ephesian Elders Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on Feb 3, 2022
     | 2,760 views

    Paul is ready to pass the baton of leadership to the elders of Ephesus. Paul mentioned he had invested three years at Ephesus. Paul was handing off full responsibility to elders with very little experience. He did need to send Tychicus and then Timothy later to help the elders.

    Background of Paul addressing the elders This discourse of Paul addressing the Ephesian elders takes place near the end of his third journey. He already spent two years at the hall of Tyrannus in Ephesus. He mentions that in total he poured into the elders for three years (Acts 20:31). This exit ...read more

    This is the 68th sermon in the series "Action". This series is from the Book of Acts and the Epistles. This series began when the COVID19 pandemic began.

    Series: Action [#68] SERVE THE LORD Acts 20:13-38 Introduction: We have talked several times about the difficulty of being in Ministry, (and it can be tough); but there is also a lot of joy and fulfillment serving the Lord.

    The Apostle Paul lived on the edge of death, that’s for sure. As he traveled from here to there, throughout his ministry he planted many churches.

    “In ancient Rome, crowds by the tens of thousands would gather in the Colosseum to watch as Christians were torn apart by wild animals. Paul Rader, commenting on his visit to this famous landmark, said, "I stood uncovered to the heavens above, where He sits for whom they gladly died, and asked ...read more

    The average American's New Year's resolution(s) last only 32 days. This morning, we're going to talk about a resolution I think we can all get behind and take to heart—living for God.

    Dear gracious and heavenly Father, thank you for today—a new year! Thank you for all you did in and through us in 2022. We are thankful and proud of our accomplishments, both individually and as a church, but…help us look forward toward the future. Give us the wisdom now to use the guidance You ...read more

    In Acts 20, the Apostle Paul gives a farewell speech to the Ephesian elders. What can we learn from this speech?

    During his third missionary journey, Paul wanted to meet with Ephesian elders and give a charge to them. However, he did not travel to Ephesus probably because he was warned it would be too dangerous, so he sent messengers and had the Ephesian elders meet him at Miletus. The reason why Paul ...read more

    If Paul was obsessive about teaching the gospel of Christ, he was just as devoted to encouraging the church to love one another.

    Life Lessons From The Chief of Sinners Love Your Faith Family Acts 20:17-38 Introduction The amazing transformation of Saul the Persecutor to Paul the Apostle has so much to teach us about following Jesus.

    Several years ago I was leaving a church and looked for ideas for winding down or farewell sermons. I found few ideas. I was able to piece a few options from reference to Paul’s final meeting with the Ephesian elders and Paul’s final thoughts to Timothy.

    This lesson is one of the “farewell sermons” I put together. I have a bibliography for those who would like it.This sermon became the last one I preached in my previous church. The title was inspired by the tagline of a comedian who was popular when I was a kid and I have a series (unrelated to ...read more

    As Christians, we all have a job to do, which includes telling people about Jesus, and showing them Jesus by the way we treat each other.

    Paul’s Charge To The Ephesian Elders Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 14, 2023
     | 2,152 views

    Paul sees the elders of the Ephesian church for the last time. He gives them a charge: 'Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock.' It's a message the church needs to hear today.

    Today’s passage has a lot to tell us about the job of a minister or pastor or elder. Maybe you think, ‘I’m not a minister or pastor or elder. This doesn’t apply to me’! But all of us have responsibilities towards other people. This passage has something to say to all of us. Before I get ...read more

    As we jump back into the book of Acts we find Paul in chapter 20, Paul is wrapping up his 3rd missionary journey and is anxious to return to Jerusalem.
