The Long Goodbye (Acts 20:17-27) - Session 45

Paul gives his last goodbye to the leaders of the church of Ephesus. These were men who had worked alongside each other in ministry and had a great affection for each other.  In this passage we learn some things about church government, both elders (or overseers) and deacons.  We also learn about making promises to the Lord,  how hard Paul worked in ministry, the churches trials and tears, the kingdom of salvation and the future physical kingdom, and the need to give the entire word of God to people.What was the type of church government used in the New Testament church?Should we expect trials and tears in the Christian life?How do we know that the Holy Spirit is a person?What is the place of women in church work? Does the Lord give each of His children a ministry job?Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
