Preaching an Unpopular Gospel Grows the Church (Acts 20:22–28)

This sermon explores Paul's correspondence to the church at Ephesus in Acts 20. Paul is compelled to do the right thing, including proclaiming an unpopular message that leads to persecution, but cause it is his duty. Strangely, the church grows through the proclamation of an unpopular message. This is the case because God is the one who gives the growth and honors churches who boldly and faithfully proclaim the full counsel of the word of God.
