    Contributed by Richard Tow on Feb 1, 2016
     | 6,834 views

    The manner of Paul's life was consistent with the message God had given him to preach. Now Paul is telling these leaders to follow his example (his lifestyle) and hold to the same message. This is something we as Christians must do today.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a tribe of Native Americans who came to their Chief one autumn and asked him if the winter was going to be cold or not. 1. Not really knowing for sure how cold the winter would be, the chief replied that the winter was going to be cold and that the members of ...read more

    So Long, Farewell (I'll Tell You This...) Series

    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

    These are the final instructions given to a church whose name means “desirable”. Would our church today be willing to be this bold, this committed, this faithful to the calling that God has placed on each of us?

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Oct 14, 2023
     | 2,895 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.

    Good morning again Church! Judging by the dip in the temps, Fall has finally arrived! It seems like every season this year has been late! We had a late spring, summer just about never showed up, now it won’t leave! Some of you have mixed feelings about this. I know Bob is happy, as long as it ...read more

     | 2,325 views

    Acts 20 has a summary of Paul's ministry in various places after he left Ephesus. His closing message to the elders of Ephesus is a masterpiece of a charge to church leaders anywhere.

    1 Paul’s journeys from Ephesus to Troas Text, Acts 20:1-6, KJV: 1 And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for to go into Macedonia. 2 And when he had gone over those parts, and had given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 3 And ...read more

    Revelation, Chapters 2 and 3, deal with seven specific churches located in Asia Minor (present day Turkey) that were given words of encouragement and criticism by the Lord Jesus Christ. We need to read what Jesus says to them, because it applies to us as well.

    Revelation 2 and 3 deal with seven specific churches listed by the Lord Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:11). He gives orders to the apostle John to write down what He says and send it to the pastors of these churches in order to let them know that despite the circumstances in which they find ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 27, 2023
     | 4,282 views

    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
