    The Ephesians' conversion mirrors the “pattern of conversion” outlined in the Book of Acts. By their obedient faith: “God quickened them together with Christ; that, by grace, they might be saved through the faith.” This lesson dispels the notion of "salvation by grace only."

    INTRODUCTION Outline. 1. Heard the Word of Truth 2. Believed in the Gospel of Salvation 3. Sealed with the Holy Spirit Introductory Remarks. 1.

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

    God worked in a marvelous way!

    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

    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
