A True Servant of Jesus Christ
Acts 20:17-38
Purpose: to see that a true servant of Christ …
- Perseveres! (Acts 20:17-21)
He does not shrink back from gospel ministry though facing adversity
- Sacrifices! (Acts 20:22-24)
He considers his own life less important than the ministry
- Guards the Sheep! (Acts 20:25-31)
He protects the flock by declaring the whole purpose of God
Pictures of the Problem:
1 Timothy 1:19–20; 4:1–5
2 Timothy 1:15; 2:17–18; 3:1–9
Revelation 2:1-7
2 Peter 2:1-3
- Commends! (Acts 20:32-38)
He commends his hearers to God!
A true servant is faithfully Christ-centered for himself, and for the church!
