Today we will focus on Acts 20:7-38. In verses 17-38 we get a farewell speech by Paul to the Elders of the church of Ephesus. But more than just a speech to the Elders of Ephesus, Paul’s speech really serves as a final word to every church on how they can stay faithful and fruitful as the seek to live out the Gospel. Paul says three things in his final sermon to the churches: 1) stick to the Gospel, 2) serve Jesus like me, 3) and cling to God and his word. Paul says if you will do these things you will receive the promised inheritance kept for us in Christ. In a world full of things that distract us from the what really is important, Paul’s simple instruction is refreshing.
