Text: Acts 20:1–38
Big Idea:
Do the hard work of encouraging one another with the gospel.
Summary:
In Acts 20:1–38, we see Paul’s deep commitment to strengthening the church through gospel-centered relationships and faithful ministry. This sermon explores how Paul made encouragement a priority, invested in fellow believers, and modeled a life aligned with the gospel even in the face of suffering. As Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders calls the church to guard the truth, care for one another, and persevere in faithful obedience, we are challenged to embrace the hard but necessary work of encouraging one another and living lives that reflect the transforming power of the gospel.
