Shepherds of the Church

Preacher: Greg Alles

Passage: Acts 20:17-38

Big Idea: Faithful Elders are given by God to protect and build up the church.

Sermon Points:

1. Paul's Example (vs 18-27)

   • Serving the Lord.

      

   • Faithful Communication of God’s Word.

2. Paul's Exhortation (vs 28-38)

   • Guard Yourselves.

      

   • Guard the Church.

      

   • Build up the Church.

Application Points:

1. This Biblical teaching on elders is rarely seen in American churches today.

    

2. Our desire at Redemption Church is to follow this teaching.

    

3. Receive and value the pastoral care of faithful elders into your life.
