Paul and Ephesian Elders You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews. Acts 20:18 When they arrived, he said to them: Paul and Ephesian Elders You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. Paul and Ephesian Elders I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. Paul and Ephesian Elders I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace. Paul and Ephesian Elders Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again. Therefore, I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men. For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. Paul and Ephesian Elders Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Paul and Ephesian Elders Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. Paul and Ephesian Elders Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. 42-15212580.jpg But I’m not a prophet like Ezekiel or an evangelist like Paul… spiritual_gifts spiritual_gifts dove 03-Burying-talents.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-luM_Qy0ZPWM/TmLgoupEo7I/AAAAAAAAAFI/S 7UTqWFFygs/s1600/40025014+C18+-+Matthew+25+14+-+Parable+of+the+talents.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EhAt-pNRAbs/UBJ5mWPBMKI/AAAAAAAADtk/dax0H87qNFI/s1600/Parable%2Bof%2B the%2BTalents%2B-%2BMatt%2B25%2B14-30.jpg 284EC46045244E497F1C1F4E497F17. jpg Matthew 25:14-30 spiritual_gifts spiritual_gifts dove C+Evans+Lecture+Hall Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.
