Study 40 From The Book of Acts
Is: Acts 20:17-38
Paul’s farewell
address to the leaders of the Church at Ephesus (verses 17-35) and his
departure for Jerusalem (verses 36-38).
- Verses
17-27. Paul reviews his ministry at Ephesus. Notice, especially, what he says about
his behaviour, service, faithful preaching of Christ and the overriding
ambition of his life. As you measure your outward service and inward
spirit against Paul’s in what respects do you feel you come short?
- Verses
28-35. What counsel does Paul give
those to whom God has given positions of leadership? How can they guard
the flock against the dangers that threaten? Have you begun to experience the
truth of Christ’s words quoted in verse 35?
