Sermons About Overseer
Acts 20 : Paul's Farewell Speech - more than just a long goodbye!
In his farewell address on January 11, 1989 just before he left office, President Ronald Reagan stated he was most proud of the resurgence of national pride which he called “the new patriotism”. But at the same time he voiced concern. America was on the edge of the 90s, the culture was changing. Children being raised at that time were not being taught what it means to be American. His overarching concern was that the future generations of America would forget their roots and America would lose its historical identity and its national spirit. Paul's address to the Ephesian Elders reads much the same and has similar concerns. He gives an account of his conduct, sacrifices and commitments and challenges them to carry on the very same goals that he and the other Apostles received from the Lord Jesus Christ. And he warns them what is at stake. Unless they protect what has been entrusted to them, their ability to continue the work Jesus began will be undermined.
