In this message we follow Paul to the end of his third missionary journey, learning lessons about the local church, the Holy Spirit, and Christian courage along the way. Listen in!

Listen in as Paul, who for three years had been missionary pastor of the church at Ephesus, says his farewells and gives parting encouragements to the elders of that church ... and in so doing shows us - by precept and example - what the shepherds of God's flock ought to be and do.

Join us as we follow Paul and his companions on a long back and forth journey, around the coast of the Aegean Sea, strengthening the churches there ... and preaching one very long sermon that ended in quite a remarkable way!

There was a great idol in Ephesus - "Artemis of the Ephesians." But, as in our own lives, there were some less noticable idols as well. Listen in as we consider them ... and are urged to put away our own personal Artemises, and choose Jesus.

As Paul continues his ministry in Ephesus, others try to imitate his work ... with great failure. Listen in as we are reminded of the reality of the spirit world, the shortfall of second hand faith, and God's ability to work for good even the most bizarre and challenging circumstances.

Continue following, with us, along the path of Paul's second missionary journey ... and then as he makes his way out on his third one as well. We'll notice particularly how Paul (along with the Lord!) has a great concern to bring the gospel to the great ancient city of Ephesus.

Listen in as we continue folowing Paul along his second missionary journey ... this time as he brings the gospel with great success to the city of Corinth.

Listen in as we consider Paul's famous sermon in Athens ... and how it applies to our own sharing of the gospel message today.

Borrowing from the title of the famous Charles Dickens novel, we look at two cities, two synagogues within those two cities, and two very different responses to the same gospel message of Christ crucified and risen. Listen in as we consider, both Paul's message, and the vastly divergent responses to it in Thessalonica and Berea.

Listen in as we consider the marvelous way the news of Jesus spread as Paul's second missionary journey took him to the "leading city" of Philippi ... and consider what lessons there are to learn about how the good news can spread in your own city or town.
