In Acts 20, Paul gives an emotional farewell to the Ephesian elders, pointing to his own life of humility, sacrifice, and perseverance as their example. He urges them to guard the flock, knowing false teachers will rise up to distort the truth.
His words remind us that the church was bought with the blood of Christ, and so it must be cared for with vigilance, generosity, and love.
True ministry means pouring out our lives for the good of others and the glory of God.
