Ponder with me about how the leadership in the New Testament morphed into something different than when the church began.  At the beginning, you see a heavy focus on the apostles' leadership.  Then, at the end of Acts 11, you start seeing a different leadership group introduced - elders.  From then on you start seeing elders becoming more and more prominent as leaders in the church.  This dynamic of passing the torch of leadership is exactly what the meeting between Paul and the elders in Ephesus was all about (Acts 20).  Let's think about what Paul wanted those elders to hear and how Paul thought about leadership.  To God be the glory!
