Sermon from Fair Hill Church — Acts - Acts 20:13-38
As we've studied Acts, we've seen again and again how God's Spirit and His Word work together. In Acts 20, Pastor Nathan shows how the Holy Spirit brought Old Testament scripture to Paul's remembrance, shaping his response in a moment of need. Far from being disconnected stories, the Scriptures become living instruction in the hands of the Spirit. This message challenges us to know God's Word deeply so we can recognize His leading when He brings it to mind.

This week we read Paul's farewell speech to the elders of the Ephesian Church. It is a tearful goodbye as Paul's pastoral heart is made evident. His primary concern is for the church to remain healthy in his absence. What this will require is for pastors to follow Paul's example and to heed is words of exhortation. They must be have the character and obey the call to shepherd the flock of God faithfully. And yet the whole church shares a piece of the responsibility to see the flock protected.Thus, we must all carefully consider Paul's words here that we too will in some encounter the painful cost of leadership. As you read, think on how this text is relevant to you in whatever leadership you have been entrusted. Especially to you fathers, consider how these words call you to embrace the cost of leadership to shepherd the little flock given to you

This week Paul begins the long voyage back to Jerusalem to conclude his third missionary journey. We also read about an averted tragedy, that Paul was used by God to resurrect a young lad named Eutychus. He fell asleep and then fell from a window in the middle of church!Despite being an easy opportunity for jokes, this story is not about the importance of staying awake during a long sermon. In Acts 20:1-16 we are going to see how the ministry of the Apostle Paul is both a model for us and how his ministry was validated. As you read the sermon text, consider the example we have in the apostles' ministry. Pray also that we would be encouraged by the hope of new life in Christ.

On his return to Jerusalem, Paul stopped in to say goodbye to the church in Ephesus. He explained that they would not see him again, as the Spirit had confirmed that he would face suffering and arrest in Jerusalem. Luke records Paul's goodbye speech, and by it, some of Paul's most moving and impassioned words for the leaders of that local church.

On his return to Jerusalem, Paul stopped in for a brief visit at Troas. There he preached long into the night. But there was an ancient and a young man who died. Paul paused his service, raised the boy to life, and went back to ministering. We take a closer look at why Luke included this story and the unique way he narrates it.

Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from April 19, 2026. Acts 20:24 becomes a defining lens for understanding a life that is steady, surrendered, and rooted in the grace of God. As Paul faces uncertainty, suffering, and even death, he declares that none of these things move him because his life is no longer his own—his aim is simply to finish his course with joy and faithfully testify to the gospel. This message explores how that kind of stability is formed, not through ease but through trials that deepen dependence on God, reminding us that nothing we face is outside His control or beyond His sustaining grace. Rather than resisting hardship, believers are invited to see it as part of God's shaping work, producing endurance and maturity. In the end, a life anchored in Christ is not defined by comfort or circumstance, but by a steady resolve to walk faithfully with Him and finish well. - Don McClure - Sunday, April 19, 2026
