Acts 20
Paul is headed
    home.




                 Ephesian church elders
                 Counsel for the future
                    of the church.


                                          2
Acts 20:25 And
             now, behold, I know that ye all, among
whom I have gone preaching the Kingdom of
God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I
take you to record this day, that I am pure from the
blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to
declare unto you all the Counsel of God.
       Paul would not be back to this area
         to see them as a group again.
But he knew that he had told them everything that
        God had given him to tell them.
 No one's blood would be required at his hands.
                                                  3
28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all
the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath
made you overseers, to feed the church of God,
which He hath purchased with His Own Blood.
   This is the chief responsibility of a pastor:
To guard and protect his flock from false doctrine;
   And to feed them the True Word of God.
   A pastor can't take care of his people
    until he has his own life in order.
                                                     4
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall
grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing
the flock.      False Teachers
             Wolves from without




                                                    5
30 Also of your own selves shall men
arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away
              Perverting the Grace of God.
disciples after them.
             Wolves from within




                                                6
John 10 10 The thief cometh not, but for to
steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that
they might have life, and that they might have it
more abundantly. 11 I am the good shepherd: the
good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.
12 Buthe that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and
the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. 13
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep.
                                                     7
God's men must never have the
       mindset of a hireling.
                      Jesus is the Good
                         Shepherd.
                        Pastors and church
                      leaders are His under-
                           shepherds.

We must never be negligent in protecting and
  feeding the sheep -- the congregation.
                                           8
28b   the church of God, which He hath purchased
                 with His Own Blood.
 God purchased His church with His Own Blood.
We are precious in His Sight.
Don't ever put yourself or another Christian down.
       God paid a great price for us.




                                                    9
31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the
space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone
night and day with tears.
 Church leaders need to always stay awake and
     vigilant against the snares of the devil;
   he is determined to destroy congregations.
And we must rehearse, being mindful of the Word
  of God which we have to enable us live well.
               Not just exist

                                                 10
And we must always preach and
      teach God's Word
So that our congregation will be
      able to stand strong.



       knowing


                              11
But a Christian must want to stand.
                     We must love God with
                           our whole
Greatest desire      heart, mind, soul, and
                            strength,
                     And love one another
                      with an intensity that
                       surpasses all else.
That's the mindset of a dynamic assembly of
  the children of the Most High God.
                                           12

  • 2. Acts 20 Paul is headed home. Ephesian church elders Counsel for the future of the church. 2
  • 3. Acts 20:25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among whom I have gone preaching the Kingdom of God, shall see my face no more. 26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men. 27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the Counsel of God. Paul would not be back to this area to see them as a group again. But he knew that he had told them everything that God had given him to tell them. No one's blood would be required at his hands. 3
  • 4. 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood. This is the chief responsibility of a pastor: To guard and protect his flock from false doctrine; And to feed them the True Word of God. A pastor can't take care of his people until he has his own life in order. 4
  • 5. 29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. False Teachers Wolves from without 5

  • 8. God's men must never have the mindset of a hireling. Jesus is the Good Shepherd. Pastors and church leaders are His under- shepherds. We must never be negligent in protecting and feeding the sheep -- the congregation. 8
  • 9. 28b the church of God, which He hath purchased with His Own Blood. God purchased His church with His Own Blood. We are precious in His Sight. Don't ever put yourself or another Christian down. God paid a great price for us. 9
  • 10. 31 Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn everyone night and day with tears. Church leaders need to always stay awake and vigilant against the snares of the devil; he is determined to destroy congregations. And we must rehearse, being mindful of the Word of God which we have to enable us live well. Not just exist 10
  • 11. And we must always preach and teach God's Word So that our congregation will be able to stand strong. knowing 11
