SERMON AUGUST 17TH

In this powerful exploration of Acts 20, we're reminded of the profound impact of spiritual leadership and the importance of living a life devoted to Christ. The passage highlights Paul's farewell address to the Ephesian elders, emphasizing the role of church leaders as shepherds and overseers. We're challenged to consider how we can imitate Paul's example of humility, tears, and unwavering commitment to sharing the gospel. The message encourages us to live by the Spirit, even when facing trials and uncertainties. Just as Paul was willing to face imprisonment for his faith, we're called to examine our own willingness to sacrifice for the sake of Christ. This teaching invites us to reflect on our own spiritual journey and how we can more fully embrace the 'whole counsel of God' in our lives.
