Podcasts about Acts 20

Send us Fan Mail“It is more blessed to give than to receive” is easy to quote and hard to live. We sit with Acts 20:35 and Paul's final charge, then get painfully practical about what it looks like for Christian men to lead with open hands instead of closed fists, especially when generosity costs time, comfort, energy, and pride. If you've ever felt the pull to protect “what's yours” first and serve later, this conversation will challenge your default settings. Come see us at Man Camp in Wanship, Utah on September 25-27, at the I'm Just a Guy Vision Men's Summit in Raleigh, North Carolina on October 10 and at The Camp For Men in Fall River, Kansas on October 23-25.

Sunday night 8/09/26 - This is the first message in a brand new series on Repentance. The title of the message is "The Birth Of Repentance" - Acts 20 17-21 - Pastor James Eakins

The lesson we have before us today is a marvelous expression of love and compassion by a pastor for his flock.  Paul had just spent the last three years of his life building the church at Ephesus and all of the surrounding churches in that region.  He had labored among the members, he had watched over them, he knew them by name, and he had protected them from the ravages of Satan and his wolves.  But the time had come for him to leave.  Paul knew that the church had two choices before it.  Either to continue to grow in the strength and will of the Lord, or to be deceived into paths that led away from the will of the Lord. Many churches do continue to grow when they lose their spiritual leader.  Yet, I can also think of several examples of churches, with great, godly pastors, who preached the whole counsel of God, who when that pastor left, failed to continue their growth in the Lord.  It is not that these churches do not have good, god-fearing people, it is that their shepherd no longer declares the whole word of God.  He speaks only of those things that are socially acceptable and unlikely to cause hurt feelings among his flock.  In other cases, their new shepherd allows forces within the church to dictate the path of the church, versus the will of God.  The wolves have risen from within, and they have separated the church from the will of God.   Click on link below to hear a lesson on the awesome responsibility and burden that all pastors bear for the souls of their flock.  It is a burden far greater than any CEO of a fortune 500 company has.  Pastors bear the burden for making sure they have not failed to provide the entire counsel of God, both in their words and in their witness, before the flock.  And they will be held accountable for this message and witness, not by the people of the church, but by God Himself.    This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.

John and Brandon unpack the story of Eutychus in Acts 20, exploring Paul's farewell sermon in Troas, early Christian worship on the first day of the week, and the way this strange miracle points to the power of resurrection life at the heart of the gospel.

Sermon from July 26, 2026; 10:30am.

Pastor David Smith leads a study on Acts 20:17-21:14. Join the pastors and people of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Des Peres, MO, for weekly Bible study on Sunday mornings. Learn more about St. Paul's Des Peres at stpaulsdesperes.org. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org.

Gathered with the believers on the first day of the week, and leaving the next morning, Paul preaches late into the night. A young man named Eutychus, sitting in a third-story window, sinks into a deep sleep and falls to the ground below, and is picked up dead. Paul goes down, takes him in his arms, and life returns to him. Then Paul climbs back up, breaks bread, and talks until daybreak. The weight of the chapter comes later, at Miletus, where Paul says goodbye to the Ephesian elders he served for three years, warns them of wolves coming after he leaves, and tells them they will not see his face again.  The Rev. Steven Theiss, serving St. John Lutheran Church (AALC) in Pocahontas, MO joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Acts 20:1-38.  The book of Acts picks up where the Gospels leave off. Jesus has risen. He has ascended. And now what? Acts answers that question. Luke tells the story of how the Holy Spirit built the Church from a handful of frightened disciples in Jerusalem into a movement that reached Rome itself. Along the way, you get Pentecost, the first sermons, the first martyrs, the conversion of Paul, the first church councils, shipwrecks, riots, and the persistent, stubborn work of God through Word and Sacrament even when His people didn't have a plan. If you've ever wondered how we got from Easter morning to the Church you sit in today, this is the book. Tune in for this new series on Thy Strong Word with Pastor Phil Booe and guest pastors as we open up the Book of Acts.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Acts 20 Part 3 Wednesday Night Teaching by Troy Arnold Website: www.lighthouseontherockky.org

Join us for a message from Hoyt Wallis on Wednesday July 15th, 2026, entitled Acts 20-28 from Acts chapters 20-28.For more information about our church visit us on our website, our Facebook page, and our YouTube.Support the show

This week we talk summer time craziness, travels, camping, lasers, and of course, Acts 20. The main idea is how the Gospel gives us the courage we need to fulfill the mission we have.

In this sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches this main point: The gospel provides the courage we need to fulfill the mission we have.

What does it mean to live a life that is truly biblical and missional? In this message from Acts 20, we look at the Apostle Paul's final words to the Ephesian elders and discover a powerful example of wholehearted devotion to Christ. Paul challenges believers to stay anchored in God's Word, proclaim the gospel without compromise, and faithfully finish the ministry God has entrusted to them.This sermon reminds us that following Jesus isn't about chasing comfort or success—it's about serving the Lord with humility, holding loosely to the things of this world, and holding tightly to the gospel of God's grace. Whether you're new to the faith or have walked with Christ for years, you'll be encouraged to examine your calling, stand firm in biblical truth, and live with purpose for God's kingdom. May we be people who are tethered to God's Word and committed to His mission wherever He leads.

The sound is off because we lost power this Sunday due to a storm and had to record it on a less than ideal recorder. Thanks for your patience! The 'unplugged' Sunday was a great slow down for life. 

Send us a message!We read Acts 20 and follow Paul from hard travel decisions to a midnight gathering where Eutychus falls to his death and is brought back alive. We also sit with Paul's tearful farewell to the Ephesian elders and ask whether we're living with an eternity-first mindset that holds nothing back. • Paul encourages believers across Macedonia and Greece despite ongoing threats • The Troas gathering breaks bread as Paul teaches late • Eutychus falls from the window and Paul restores him • Paul hurries toward Jerusalem and calls Ephesian elders to Miletus • A leadership charge to shepherd the church and guard against false teachers • A personal example of humility, sacrifice, hard work, and generosity • A direct question about where we are holding back  At outloudbible.com, you can find free resources to help you study the Bible.
