Scripture:  Acts 20

Speaker:  Scott Meyer, Lead Minister

Summary:  Using Paul’s farewell to the Ephesian elders in Acts 20 as a blueprint for finishing well in faith, Scott emphasized that steadfast discipleship begins with living humbly and visibly among others, not just speaking truth but modeling it. Paul’s example shows that obedience to God may lead into storms and hardships, but God’s presence and mission remain constant, even when leaders must let go and trust others to carry the work forward. Steadfast leaders give sacrificially, guard the flock from spiritual danger, and are not afraid to show deep emotion, loving and leading with both strength and tenderness. The message closed with the encouragement that no matter how one’s story began, by God’s grace anyone can choose to run faithfully now and finish well, leaving a legacy that glorifies Christ.
