Acts-In-Replay: A New Era. Acts 20:1-6This section of text encompasses a period of well over a year, an eventful and fruitful year. It’s here to remind us that the Holy Spirit, who inspired Luke to write this history, has not chosen to reveal every event in the early church’s history. That does not mean that major events are not taking place. This is a whole new chapter in Paul’s ministry, for now he turns from a purely pioneer missionary, to a pastoral theologian, as he visits and cares for the new churches he had previously formed. Luke’s record changes too, for he records less pure history, and more of Paul’s words, his farewell to the Ephesian elders, his defence before the various secular courts, his account of his conversion. He will be arrested and imprisoned. This passage seems insignificant, but it is a transitional period in the history of the first church.Recorded live at Templepatrick Reformed ChurchTo read the NOTES CLICK THIS LINK. Hosted on Acast.
