s1e95 Acts 20:1-38
Ty's Observations:
- What are the similarities between Paul in Acts 20 and Jesus in Luke 22?
- Verse 6 -Is Paul saying it's okay to leave it up to each of our disciples to turn from sin at a specific point?
Darin's Observations:
- What uproar?
- V6 - "we"? Meaning Luke is with them?
- Is there any significance to the Passover being celebrated in Philippi?
- Lams in the room? Signficance?
- Taken up dead? What does that mean exactly?
- Why did Paul sail past Ephesus entirely- could there be more of an explanation seeing how the violence swelled there recently?
- In his final words to key leaders - did Paul think he would die in Jerusalem? His words seem defensive and/or serve as an example to the elders.
Meaning:
(Ty) Luke shows that Paul has been so “constrained” by the Holy Spirit that his life events begin to mimic those of Jesus Christ. I.E. Paul's message here and Jeus in the garden of Gethsemane.
(Darin) Leaders in God's church have special responsibilities but also should wield special motivations led by the Spirit in humility and authentic caring for people and God's Word.
Application:
- Inward: (Ty) Be constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me, that I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus. (Darin) Do I love the people I work with - the ones I disciple?
- Outward: (Ty) to testify to the gospel of the grace of God, what it means to be a follower of the way, and how change is possible because His grace saved a creepy, disgusting, vile person like me. (Darin) Do I spend time comforting/encouraging those who I disciple?
- Upward: (Ty) Never stop working on all of us, constrain us with the spirit the way Paul was. I dedicate and Surrender our hearts to you in The name of Jesus, God with us, show us your way, today, Yaweh. (Darin) Praise Jesus for raising up shepherds who seek to continually care for his flock!
