28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God The Holy Spirit entrusted the early church to an elder team. The church is led by a team of elders not by one individual.

18 When they arrived, he said to them: “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. 19 I served the Lord with great humility …

20 You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.

22 “And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.

24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

25 Now I know that none of you among whom I have gone about preaching the kingdom will ever see me again.

27 For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. V20, I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.

28 Keep watch over yourselves. 1 Tim 4:16, Watch your life and doctrine closely.

28 Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

1 Cor 6:19-20, Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price.

29 I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30 Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31 So be on your guard!

The wolves are false teachers and false Christians. Church elders and leaders should be able to identify false teachers and false Christians.

32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, which can build you up and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

Elders and leaders must know the word of grace or gospel well So that when they hear a message they immediately know whether it is truth or counterfeit. The word of grace or gospel can help you live holy life and build you up.

33 I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing. 34 You yourselves know that these hands of mine have supplied my own needs and the needs of my companions.

Christ wants you to work for a living. It is not a sin to earn lots of money. God makes some people with ability to invest or innovate and make lots of money from it. It is a sin to keep all the money and spend it on self.

35 In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Christ wants you to work for a living and form a habit of giving. Christ wants you to give his resource to those in needs - widows & orphans in church. Rick Warren said giving is a cure to the curse of greed and materialism.

36 When Paul had finished speaking, he knelt down with all of them and prayed. 37 They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him. 38 What grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again. Then they accompanied him to the ship.
