A Proper Farewell

In Acts 20:17–38, Paul gathers the elders of the church in Ephesus for a deeply emotional farewell. As he reflects on their shared ministry, he reminds them of the whole counsel of God, calls them to repentance and faith, and entrusts them to shepherd God’s church with vigilance and love. This sermon explores thankful sorrow, faithful leadership, and the hope-filled reality that God sovereignly guides our comings and goings—even through grief—for His glory and our good.
