Paul's Sermon to the Elders

Q: What does the Bible say about serving the Lord?

Serving the Lord involves humility, dedication, and a focus on glorifying Him rather than ourselves. In Acts 20:18-19, Paul reflects on his manner of life, stating that he served the Lord with all humility and sincerity. He emphasizes that his ministry was not about promoting himself but about serving Christ and His people. This is a vital principle in Christian ministry, as true service stems from a desire to glorify God rather than to gain personal recognition or approval from men. When believers commit to serving the Lord with humility and sincere hearts, they are aligned with God's purposes and respond to His call to ministry with passion and integrity.

Q: How do we know the importance of preaching the gospel?

Preaching the gospel is essential for salvation and spiritual growth, as it reveals God's character and plan for humanity. Paul highlights in Acts 20:20-21 that he kept back nothing profitable for the people, testifying about repentance toward God and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. This underscores the crucial duty of preaching the gospel, which is the means through which God reveals His grace and truth. The gospel is foundational to the Christian faith, emphasizing the need for repentance and faith. Beyond saving grace, it is through the continual preaching of the gospel that believers grow in their understanding of God's character and their own needs for His grace, transforming their lives. Therefore, the importance of preaching cannot be overstated; it is both a privilege and responsibility of every minister.

Q: Why is examining ourselves important in the faith?

Examining ourselves ensures we remain grounded in the truth and aligned with God's will for our lives. In Acts 20:28, Paul instructs the elders to take heed to themselves and to the flock. Self-examination is essential for all believers as it allows individuals to assess their spiritual condition, ensuring that they are genuinely in the faith and fulfilling their role as servants of the Lord. By examining ourselves, we become aware of our spiritual needs, weaknesses, and areas for growth, thus positioning ourselves to be effective ministers of God’s Word to others. Additionally, through self-reflection and humility, believers can avoid the pitfalls of pride and false assurance, ultimately leading them to a deeper reliance on Christ and a richer experience of His grace.

All right, let's turn to the
Book of Acts again tonight. This is the fifth message that I'll bring
in this series regarding the great sermons of the Book of
Acts. Acts chapter 20, this is entitled,
Paul's Sermon to the Elders. Paul's sermon to the elders. And I believe the reading of
this sermon and the comments that I'll be making from this
passage of Scripture, I believe it'll be a blessing to all of
us. But perhaps it'll be of more
special interest to the men present here tonight who have a strong
interest in and concern for the ministry of the Word, whether
they be themselves teachers or preachers or elders, or whether
they have a great interest in the purity of the ministry, the
soundness of the ministry. I think there are a lot of men
who do not occupy pulpits and teaching lecterns, but who are
deeply concerned about what's preached. I really do. I believe there's some men here
tonight that, while they don't preach themselves, but they're
mighty concerned about what is preached and interested in the
manner in which it's preached. So here in Acts 20, there's a
meeting. This is a meeting. We're going
to slip into a meeting of the elders and leaders of the church
of Ephesus. And this meeting is presided
over by the Apostle Paul himself. And Paul was the instrument whom
God used to teach most of these men the gospel which they knew
and which they loved and which they preached. Another interesting
thing about this meeting is that this would be the last time that
these men would ever see Paul and the last time they would
ever hear him preach. Now, that's very solemn, but
shouldn't every sermon be preached as if it were
our last sermon? Richard Baxter said that. He
said, I preach as one who may never preach again. I preach
as a dying man to dying men. And I never could understand
those who have the responsibility of preaching and teaching who
are careless about their preparation. I never could understand that
from that one point alone, that this could be your last effort
at glorifying our Lord. And here in this message, you'll
be permitted to enter into Paul's innermost thoughts about the
ministry of the Word. He's going to talk about his
message. He's going to talk about his motives. He'll be talking
about his feelings and fears. He'll be talking about his concern
for his heroes. You know, it's said in 1 Timothy,
I won't turn and read it, but 1 Timothy 1, 15 and 16, made the statement that God saved
him as a pattern of those who would
be saved. Now, if Paul's conversion is
a pattern for those who will believe, would not his ministry
also be a pattern for those who would preach? I would think so. There are several divisions in
this message. The first one is found in verse
18 and 19. This is Paul's manner of life. He says in Acts 20, let's start
with verse 17, And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, and called
the elders of the church. And when they were come to him,
he said to them, You know from the first day that I came into
Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons.
That's his manner of life. That's what the first division
of this message, Paul's going to talk about his manner of life. Serving the Lord with all humility
of mind and with many tears and temptations, which befell me
by the lying in wait of the Jews." Now, there's one phrase there
that would sum up Paul's activities, his manner of life, his attitude
and everything. What would you say it is? Right
there in those two verses, verse 18 and 19. Well, I believe That there's one, this one phrase
sums up his manner of life. He said, I'm serving the Lord.
I'm serving the Lord. In other words, he called himself
a servant, a bondservant of Jesus Christ. A willing, loving, bondslave
of Jesus Christ. Now that's, that has to be settled
first of all. That's an issue that must be,
whose servant are you? We serve not ourselves. A lot
of preachers do. Paul said we preach not ourselves.
We're not presenting ourselves. We're not preaching ourselves.
We're not promoting ourselves. If we're promoting ourselves,
we're not the servants of Christ. That's what we were talking about
in the study a while ago, promoting yourself. We don't serve ourselves. We don't serve... There's a sense
in which we're the servants of men. There's another sense in
which we're not the servants of men. If being the servant of man,
you know, Paul said, we preach not ourselves but Christ Jesus
the Lord and our servants for your sake with your servants,
for Christ's sake, your servants. If serving men alters your message,
then that's the wrong kind of service. So that's the reason
Paul said, if I please men, if I seek to please men, then I'm
not his servant. Can't be his servant. So we please
not ourselves. We serve not men, nor do we serve
this world. I know a lot of folks want to
minister to the whole world. Well, that's fine. Preach the
gospel to every creature. But we can't allow the fashion
of this world and the attitude of this world and the spirit
of this world to influence our ministry. We can't allow the
music of this world to change. I notice churches, you can turn
on the television, and the beat is the same, whether it's a rock
concert or a church concert, the beat is the same. And what
has happened is the world has influenced, in trying to minister
to people, we've adopted their ways, we've adopted their form,
we've adopted their their manners. We're trying to put this gospel
message in a way that will please them. Don't do that. Don't do that. It's like when
I was over in Australia, the people came to church and some
of them dressed ridiculously. Well, I think what they're trying
to do is saying, well, it doesn't matter how you dress. We want
everybody to feel welcome, the young people to come wearing
their trashy, holy blue jeans and all this sort of thing, you
know, so we'll just dress like them. Don't do that. Don't go
towards that. Don't let the world influence
you. You influence them. You see what
I'm saying? We're not their servants. We're
God's servants. And we preach God's message,
and we sing God's music, and when we come to worship God,
we present ourselves before the Lord, at least in some kind of
dress and attitude that shows it's a special time. It's not
just a gathering of a bunch of rag muffins. We're coming to
meet God. You see what I'm saying? So don't
succumb to this influence, this worldly influence that says,
if you like more like us, we'll listen to you. They won't do
it. If you sing like us, then we'll sing with you. They won't
do it. If you're dressed like us, then
we'll come among you. They won't do it. Establish your
message and your manner of life and your music, and if God converts
their hearts, they'll come to you. We're not their servants. You see what I'm saying? I'm
serving the Lord. I'm serving the Lord. Not man's
servant, and not my own servant, and I'm not this world's servant.
I'm serving the Lord. Now, we're His servants, and
here's another thing Paul is saying here, where I serve, where
I serve and with whom I labor, And what I have in gifts and
talents and possessions and what I do is left up to Him, not me. It's left up to Him. The decisions
are made in glory, not in some back room somewhere where we
place men here and there, you know. We're His servants. And
I tell you this, when I serve Him best in a dedicated consecrated spirit. When I serve Him best,
then I serve you best. That's exact. When I serve Him
best, when I preach His message and do His will and serve it for His glory, that's
when I'll do you the most good. Catering never accomplished anything. catering to me. It won't do it.
But I'll serve him. Now how did Paul serve him? Look
at verse 19. I serve him. I serve the Lord. That's my manner of life. I'm
God's servant. I'm God's servant. And I serve
him with humility of mind. I'm nothing, Paul said that over
and over again. I'm nothing. I'm less than the least of all
the saints. I'm not worthy to be an apostle.
Oh, I tell you, let us never imagine for a moment that we
are essential for anything. We serve the Lord with humility
of mind. He said with many tears, tears
for myself and tears for you, tears of concern, with tears
Also with temptations, with trials, he refers here to the opposition
and persecution of religious Jews. Listen, I serve the Lord
with humility of mind, with many tears and temptations which befell
me by the lying in wait of the Jews. The greatest enemies of
the grace of God are religious people. The greatest enemies
of the truth of the gospel are preachers. They're the greatest
enemies. And that's what he says here,
these trials came upon me by these religious Jews. But it's good to be afflicted.
It's good. It's good for me. Trials better
equip me for His ministry. Far better for me than success.
Trials help me to be dependent on Him. Trials reveal my own
weakness in His strength. continually remind me that what
I'm doing is for His glory anyway. We seek His glory, not ours. All right, let's see the second
part of this message, beginning with verse 21. Here's Paul's
courage and conviction. Verse 20 and 21, and he says
in verse 20, and how I kept back nothing. I kept back nothing
that was profitable to you. Nothing that was profitable to
you. I've showed you and taught you
publicly and privately. Publicly and from house to house. Testifying both to the Jews and
also to the Greeks. Repentance toward God and faith
toward our Lord Jesus Christ. And Paul was a man of emotions. Paul was a man of feeling, he
was a man of desires. He was, to a great extent, no
different from us. Sometimes we are prone to think
these apostles were men who had no conflict with anything else,
that they were kind of mechanized, robots or something, you know,
but not so, not so. If you watch them, you see James
and John's mother come to the Lord and say, let my boy sit
one on your right hand. That sounds like some preacher's
mother here. Doris and Sharon may do that. Todd and Hall sit one on the
right hand. That sounds like us, you know.
And then you see Peter, you know, when the Lord tells him he's
going to deny him, he says, not me, these other fellows may.
Isn't that like us? And you see, all these other
things that these apostles, the Lord's in the back of the boat
asleep, and they's up here just scared to death, and they went
back and shook Him and said, don't you care if we drown? That
sounds like us. These were men of emotions and
passions and desires, and they cared what people think. When
folks beat up on them, it hurt them as much as it would you.
They didn't stand there and say, hit me some more, you know. That's
why Peter sat by the fire and denied. He knew the Lord would
try to escape a little bit of pain and sorrow. So Paul was
a man of emotions. I'm sure Paul would rather ride
a horse than walk. And he'd rather have a thoroughbred
horse than a nag. I'm sure he would. But his fear of God overrode
his fear of man. That's what made the difference.
I just imagine when they picked up those stones, his skin kind
of crawled a little bit. He didn't want to be stoned,
but his fear of God overrode his fear of them. That was the
thing. His love for Christ and his gospel
and his glory was greater than his love for himself and his
family and his friends. He loved himself and his family
and his friends, but his love for Christ was greater. That's
what made the difference. That's what made him take this
path instead of that one. Preach this message instead of
compromising. He knew what he could make by
compromising, didn't he Cecil? He knew who wrote the checks,
well as you do. But his fear of God overrode
his fear of man. His love for Christ overrode
his love for these things of life. His confidence in the gospel
of God's grace delivered him from any trust in merit or works. Don't you think he lifted his
works of innocence? I labored more than any of these
fellows. I mean, just like Peter said about John. He said, if
I'm going to die, what's he going to do? You know, I mean, that
does make a difference. If I got to go through this,
how about you going through it? See, that's human nature. But
his love for the gospel was greater than that temptation. Temptation
was there, but this other's greater. See what I'm saying? It overcomes.
And he had one ambition. He said that, to win Christ and
be found in Him. To know Him and the power of
His resurrection. To preach Christ. He said to
the Corinthians, I'm determined to know nothing among you save
Jesus Christ and Him crucified. It wasn't mechanical, it was
something He had to determine. And here He says, verse 20, I
kept back nothing profitable unto you. I knew what it would
do. I told that young preacher down in Madisonville, he came,
sat across the table from me at breakfast one morning. He
said he had a pretty good-sized church, wanted me to come there
and preach the gospel. I said, how many people you got
in that church that believe the gospel of grace? He said, none.
I said, well, I'm going to tell you what's going to happen. I
know what's going to happen. And I can tell you now what's
going to happen. And Paul knew that. I kept back
nothing profitable. Is not the preaching of the...
Well, do you have to preach this? Yeah, you have to preach it.
Is not the character of God profitable? You just read that. Did you hear
him read Isaiah 40? The things God says about himself?
Well, that's what we've got to say to people. Even if it agitates
them and irritates them and confuses them and makes them angry, we've
still got to say it. Because it's profitable. They'll
never believe in God if they don't know who He is. Is not
the character and person and work of Christ profitable? I
can't keep back these things that are essential. Is not the
covenant of mercy essential? Is not the preaching of faith
and love and obedience, is that not essential? I was preaching over in that
church in Indiana some two or three years ago, and I sat there
and I knew when I got up and told them what I was going to
tell them, somebody was going to get fired, either me or the
pastor or somebody, but I had to do it because it was profitable. I had to stop the confusion.
I had to stop the bedlam. I had to tell them the truth
about all of this so-called flesh worship, you know, and will worship.
Well, they kept the pastor and fired me, and that was better,
I'm sure. Told me to go home. Do we preach what men want to
hear? Or what men ought to hear? Different, isn't it? Do we preach what men would like
for us to preach? Or do we preach what is recorded
and what is profitable? I must preach the gospel. Woe is unto me if I preach not
the gospel. And that's what Paul is saying.
And here it's all summed up in two statements here. Verse 21. Testifying both to the Jews and
to the Greeks. What? Repentance toward God.
I said this Sunday twice, Sunday morning and Sunday night. Change
your mind. That's what repentance is. If
your mind's changed, your manners will be changed. I know it's
change of mind, change of motive, change of manners, change of
direction. I know that, but it starts with
the mind. If a man's mind is changed toward God and toward
grace and toward the gospel and toward himself, then his manners
and motives and other things will be changed. But that's where
it starts, repentance toward God and faith. Total faith for
our Lord Jesus Christ. Commitment to Christ. Dedication
to Christ. Sink or swim, I go to Him. That's where it is. And that
was Paul's courage. Courage and conviction. The ministry
of all places requires courage and conviction. And then you
have next Paul's future. And just about everybody's concerned
about his future. Let's see what Paul has to say
about his future, verse 22. And now, Behold, I go bound in
the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that shall
befall me there. He had a pretty good idea. He
had a pretty good idea. That city was full of enemies,
men who hated his Christ and hated him. I'm going to Jerusalem,
and I know this, save I don't know what shall befall me there
except that the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit is witnessed in every
city saying that bonds, chains, and afflictions abide. Await me is the word. Put that
in there. Await me. Bonds. Isn't, somebody said, isn't there
a time when this business of contending for the faith gets
easier? Preacher, ain't it time you laid
down the sword? Nope. Ain't it time you got just
a little easier? Nope. Isn't there time when the
battle's over? Nope. Not on this earth. Doesn't
the enemy ever let up? Nope. Don't trials and trouble
ever end? Nope. Not on this earth. I'll tell you when contending
for the truth of the gospel will come to an end, and that's when
we stand in his presence conformed to his image. The battle will
be over, Tom, and the trials will be over, and the troubles
will be over. But until then, every day of our lives, every
year, even in the latter part of our lives, we're going to
have to stand, and having done all to stand. And really and
truly, the trials may get greater. It may require more boldness
and determination. But he said, that's all right.
I go down to Jerusalem. I know bonds and afflictions
await me there. Natural religious men hate me.
But verse 24, none of these things move me. None of these things
change my message or change my mind or cause me to turn aside. I'm not going to take a detour.
I know the bridge may be out up ahead, but I ain't taking
a detour. I'm going right where the trouble is. And Martin Luther
said this, if I can quote, I don't know if I can quote it verbatim,
but I can tell you what he said. A man may battle wherever he
wants to, but unless he's engaged in the battle where the glory
of God and the character of God is being challenged in his day,
he's not in the battle at all. Isn't that right? In other words, a man, he may
take a stand, and a lot of these, you hear all these preachers
taking their stands on different, on abortion and homosexuality,
and we know where we stand on those things, and we take a stand. But I'll tell you the issue in
this day is who is God? Who is God? Is He sovereign or
is He not? Who is man? Is he dead in sin
or is he not? Did God elect the people or didn't
He? Is salvation by grace alone? beginning and end, or is it not?
That's where the issue is. Christ, what did he do on that
cross? That's where the character of our God's been challenged. Religious people have always
been against abortion. Religious people have always
been for morality. But the man that's upholding the glory of his God
is the man that's standing up where the glory of his God's
being challenged. Now that's the man that's in
the battle. That's exactly right. That's the one. And that's the
one that's going to get shot at. There ain't nothing going on back there.
Nothing at all. Barnard said one time, if you
want to have a lot of liberty and have a lot of friends, just
find out what everybody's against and be against it a little stronger
than they are. That's all you got to do. Just find out what
everybody's against, what everybody's for, and do it. And do it with
fervor. Just lead them. Like a cheerleader,
they'll okay everything you say. Because they'll get it too. But
the man that wants to fight for the glory of his God, or find
out where they're challenging the glory of his God, that's
where you'll hit them. None of these things move me
or change me. I don't count my life dear unto myself, verse
24. My life is dear to Christ, but
it's not dear to me. It's got to end. Somewhere down this road it's
got to end. But I tell you this so that I
may finish my course with joy. You know what I want to do? I
want to finish this ministry with joy. not grieving over compromise
and grieving over departure from the faith. I want to end this
thing up with joy. I want to end it up preaching,
the last time I preached, who is Jesus Christ and what did
he do on that cross. That's the way I want to finish
my course, don't you? And the ministry which I've received
of the Lord, The ministry that I've received of the Lord, what
is that ministry? To testify, to witness the gospel
of the grace of God. That's what He gave me to do. To testify. He didn't call me
to do a lot of these things that have been turned over to the
ministry nowadays. The ministry which I have received
of the Lord is one ministry to testify the gospel of the grace
of God. Sovereign grace, free grace,
redeeming grace, prevenient grace, keeping grace, effectual grace,
God's grace, eternal grace. Grace! That's the ministry. I tell you, if you want to be
preaching grace when you die, preach it all the time. I said, just preach it every
time you get up. And you'll hear it one day, won't
you see? Yeah, one day you'll quit it. Just play that same
record every time you get up and preach, and one day the old
Victron will break. And they said, well, he died
preaching grace. He died preaching Christ. Because that's all he
preached. It didn't matter when he died,
young, medium, or old. He just died preaching grace. Alright, here's verse I'll let
you go in a minute. Here's verse, I still got five
minutes. Look at verse 25, Paul's comfort. And now behold, I know that you
all, among whom I've gone preaching the kingdom of God, see my face
no more. I know that. Wherefore I take
you to record this day that I'm pure from the blood of all men.
Now, look up a minute. Christ is my comfort. Christ
was Paul's comfort. Christ is my consolation. Christ
is my repose, my rest, and my peace. I'll keep him in perfect
peace whose mind stayed on thee. It's hard to be mad at people
if you're in love with Christ. It's hard, very hard. It's hard
to be confused and upset if you're resting in him. That's why just
turn your mind to Christ. And it's hard to be engaged in
these other things. He's my comfort. But Paul, speaking
here, knowing that his life would soon end, and knowing that his
ministry was drawing to a close, and that these people whom he
loved would see his face no more, he was comforted to be able to
say, I preached the truth to you, and your blood's not on
my hands. That's exactly what he said.
He's looking them right in the face. I go to meet God. The time of my departure is at
hand, but I've kept the faith. And there's nobody's blood on
my hands. He got that from Ezekiel. You know, when he told Ezekiel,
I've made you a watchman, if you don't warn me and I require
his blood at your hands, that's what God said. Well, he said,
my, that's what he said in verse 26, I take you to record this
day, I'm pure from the blood of all men. Isn't that a comforting
way to leave? To be able to say, I've kept
back nothing profitable unto you, I've declared unto you the
whole counsel of God, I'm free from your blood. I've kept the
faith. Boy. Tell you another thing,
he said, verse 27, I have not shunned to declare unto you all
the counsel of God. Everything God's revealed to
me and taught me, I've passed it on to you. I haven't shunned
out of fear. What motivates men not to preach? The truth of God, fear, self-glory, self-gain, covetousness,
those are the things. But Paul said, I haven't shown
to declare unto you all the counsel of God. Alright, here's Paul's
warning now, verse 28, another section. Now take heed, therefore,
to yourselves. Now remember, he's talking to
these elders, and he tells them to take heed to themselves. In
other words, examine yourself whether you're in the faith.
You fellas out here and ladies, when you get, don't get concerned
too much about the keeper of the vineyard and neglect your
own vineyard. You see what I'm saying? Examine yourself whether
you'll be in the faith. Don't ever apply anything to
anybody that you haven't first applied here. No, sir, don't. In other words, we need to quit
using this word, you, in our preaching and say, we, don't
we? Don't ever put a shoe out there for somebody to wear that
you haven't tried on. Don't do that. He said you take
heed to yourself. To yourself. And then to all
the flock. over which the Holy Ghost has
made you an overseer, a leader. Feed the church of God. Feed
them what? The word of God. Feed the church
of God which he purchased with his own blood. Feed them. Verse
29, I know this, that after my departing, after I leave you,
grievous wolves, wolves in sheep's clothing, will enter in among
you, not sparing the flock. Oh, false preachers, false religious
leaders, and they've got enough of the truth to deceive people. I guess if folks say this to
me once, they've said a thousand times, do you hear someone say,
yeah, well, you know, he said some good things. Does that surprise
you that he said some good things? He opened the Bible, he'd have
to say some good things if he read any of it. You think Satan is a fool? His
ministers are ministers of righteousness. He transforms himself into an
angel of light. Do you expect him to come saying,
the Bible is not God's Word? He wouldn't get it here in that
way. He's smarter than that. Do you expect him to come saying
that Jesus didn't die on the cross? Any fool knows that. Do
you expect him to say it's not the blood that make us atonement
for the soul? Do you expect him to say you're saved by works,
not by grace? He's smarter than that. He wouldn't ever give a hearing
saying that. He preaches that you're saved by grace. Keep listening. Keep listening. And if you have
a discerning ear, you'll hear the difference. It takes a discerning
ear to hear it, though. It takes a seeing eye to see
the difference. It takes one taught in the Word
to discern. That's right. And usually the
error will be regarding the personal work of Jesus Christ. That's
where the error will be. It'll have to do with His glory,
His person, His work, His effectual sacrifice. It'll have to do with
a difference in pure grace, holy of grace, free grace, or works
in some form. But they'll creep in. And listen,
he said, verse 30, also of your own selves, right here among
you, shall men arise, speaking perverse
things, strange things. Why? To draw away disciples after
themselves. That's usually a man's motive.
A true servant of God wants Christ's people to follow Christ. John
the Baptist said, there he goes, follow him. There he goes. But a false prophet, he likes
that recognition, he loves that spotlight, he loves that, my
people, you know. He loves, draws, they believe
what I believe. Therefore watch and remember. By the space of three years,
I ceased not to warn you, night and day with tears. Now brethren,
here's Paul's recommendation. So you got a recommendation for
these men? Yes, sir. I commend you to God. I commend
you to God. You're His sheep. You're His
people. I commend you to His Word, the
Word of His grace. His Word is able to build you
up. Don't neglect the Word. I commend you to God. I commend
you to His Word. It's able to build you up, and
His Word, saturate yourself in it, steep yourself in it, learn
it, read it, commit yourself to it. It's able to give you
an inheritance among all them that are sanctified. And then
He says, I've not coveted your silver and your gold and your
apparel. Yea, you yourselves know these hands have ministered
to my necessities and to them that were with me. And I've showed
you all things, I've taught you how to be generous, how to give. I've showed you all things, how
that laboring you ought to support the weak. And remember the words
of our Lord Jesus, how he said it's more blessed to give, give
of yourself, give of your means, more blessed to give. It's a
greater blessing. than to receive. It really is,
isn't it? A greater blessing to give. And when Paul had thus spoken,
he kneeled down and prayed with them all. And they all wept sore
and fell on his neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for
the words which he spake, that they should see his face no more. And they accompanied him to the
ship. All right, may the Lord bless
his word. Mike, come and lead us in a closing hymn.
