This week in Sunday School we're finishing up our series called Life Outside the Body: Studies in Evangelism from the book of Acts. I've so enjoyed this series, and my second time through it, the book of Acts continues to find a solidified place in my heart. This week we'll be looking at Acts 20:17-38. Paul has been in Athens and is leaving. He gives some final words to the Ephesian elders, and then has one of the most touching scenes recorded in Scripture on the beach with them, just before he boards the ship.
What lessons are there for us in this passage? I think many. This Sunday we'll be looking at just a few. Just a word of warning, don't confuse biblical "farewells" with benedictions. Often times they aren't filled with what the world would view as hopeful words. But, as we all grow in our understanding of the Christian life and the gospel, we come to realize just how experientially true they really are.
If you're in Birmingham this weekend, come join us at Oak Mountain Pres., at 9:05am in Room S-180. Hope to see you then.
