    Paul's Model Of Pastoral Care (Acts 20:28-31)

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Mar 13, 2024
     | 1,032 views

    In the book of Acts, the apostle Paul leaves the city of Ephesus for the last time. In his farewell to the elders of the church, he summarized his work both as a fellow elder and fellow servant of the Lord Jesus Christ

    In Acts 20, Paul was about to leave Ephesus and the church he helped to plant. For over three years, he and his fellow elders in the faith worked together to proclaim the message of salvation in Jesus Christ alone. He also spent considerable time teaching the Word of God and sound doctrine ...read more

    Many desire spiritual power, so they fall into the occult. This passage is about the conflict of spiritual powers. Includes discussion of neo-pagans which many church members having unknowingly dabbled.

    What if you came upon something that was so powerful, it could alter your own personal destiny or alter the destiny of others at your will? Would you desire that power? What if this power could make you the most important person in the state, perhaps the nation? How much would something like ...read more

    In these verses we see a group of people who have come out from the spiritual honeymoon period. And there are three things that Jesus says to these church members at Ephesus that I believe He wants to say to us.

    You know, for every sort of relationship there is a honeymoon period, a time when everything is lovey-dovey and wonderful. All sorts of differences are overlooked during this time. All words are spoken kindly. Every consideration is given to the other party. It’s just a nice and peachy time. ...read more

    When a person becomes a believer, the spiritual journey is much like a honeymoon. There is passion, zeal and enthusiasm for the Lord. But as time rolls by, that “first love” can subside. This is what happened in the church at Ephesus, and Jesus gives the

    Paul peacefully left Ephesus after the uproar had come to an end. He met the disciples over there and encouraged them to continue in faith. This particular act describes the passion for ministry, vision for the mission and thirst for the souls.

    In his final letter, Paul gives his "son in the faith" Timothy a series of charges to ensure that his ministry in Ephesus will be firmly grounded on Jesus Christ and to never bow to the pressures brought on by the world.

    My calling to the Lord's service occurred at the same time I gave my life to Him in December of 1975 while I was in high school. Like a lot of new believers, I was ready to share my newfound faith with anybody who would stop to pay attention. I wish I could tell you that my journey with the ...read more

    In praying for his Christian family in Ephesus, the apostle Paul ends up in a beautiful strain of exaltation of the Lord Jesus Christ. Often praying for others can be what lifts our eyes to the glories and power of Jesus.

    What’s the greatest thing about your life? For the Christian, the best thing is that Christ has first place in your life. Our text here in Ephesians is a celebratory prayer for the full salvation of the believer. It’s all done by Christ and for Christ. When Christ is exalted in the life of the ...read more

    Our enemy is a spiritual power. Our enemy the devil, is described as spiritual forces in heavenly places. Paul wants the believers in Ephesus to know that our enemy is the devil. There may be earthy leaders who oppose the gospel.

    Living the Christian life is like standing on a battlefield. There is a drastic difference between peacetime and wartime. In the original Perspectives Books Ralph Winter uses the illustration of the Queen Mary ship to illustrate this. Here is his illustration: The Queen Mary, lying in repose in ...read more

    Jesus ministry to the Woman at the Well shows how to bring the message of God’s healing love to individuals; his efforts in Samaria changed a life, then Samaria, then Ephesus and resonates today in every nation where the Gospel is preached.

He also held his long sharp spear at the throat of a prisoner on the ground. The prisoner on the ground struggles to say, “Tell me more about your Christianity. ...read more
