Shepherding God's Flock (Acts 20:17-35)
This is the only speech in acts that is addressed to Christians. It is not directed to Christians in
general, but to Christian leaders. It is a model of what it means to engage in pastoral ministry.Notice five things about pastoral ministry:
1. Notice the office that is described (v. 28)
- Overseers/shepherds of the flock of God. Role of pastor, overseer, and elder is the same office, but they are different Greek words. Word for elder used most often.
- Elder refers to the dignity of the office, overseer and pastor describe the office's functions.
- Elders were appointed in all the churches (v. 17).
- A plurality of elders is helpful because the weakness of one elder is compensated for by the strengths of the others.
- John Piper: "This is not a make or break issue." Instating elders in a church that has none takes time and patience (don't force it as soon as you enter a church).
- "If a man has not been called to disciplined holiness he has not been called to ministry." – Spurgeon
- Everything that happens in the church and ministry is meant for our sanctification.
- It is one thing to preach on Sunday. It is another to live a godly life day in and day out for years.
- There are sorrows and cheers in ministry. Paul reminds them of his tears.
- There will be difficult moments: people walking away from the faith, anger, etc.
- You cannot do everything you will want to do, and you cannot do everything wants to do.
- You will not be able to invest is everyone in your flock equally
- What saves others is not your life, but the gospel
- Paul taught Jews and Greeks, house churches and publicly...he courageously proclaimed the gospel
- "If the devil cannot make you bad, he will launch you on a program of self-improvement." – Martin Luther
- Don't view someone as an opponent (politically) but view them spiritually as a source of sanctification. It would be easy to criticize the sheep instead of caring for them.
- Do not be known for a rich or lavish lifestyle, but for your generosity (vv. 33-35).
- Do not allow your joy to come from compliments from others. Let your joy come from sacrificing yourself for others. Humility is the pathway to joy.
- You do not truly love the Lord if you do not love people.
- Remember that the church is precious, for she was purchased by the blood of Jesus (v. 28).
- Do not create a personality cult. Invite others into your pulpit to make it clear it is about the council of God, not you.

It just so happened that his wife became pregnant and her due date was during the Olympics. In those days, of course, they didn't have travel like we do today. To go back and forth across the ocean would take several months time. So, he made the decision that he was not going to miss the birth of his first son. Much to the surprise of his coaches and trainers, he informed them that he would not be competing in the Olympic Games.
The day came when his beautiful son was born. Through the years, he poured into that young man. The son was extremely gifted in whitewater rafting just like his father. They spent year after year practicing together, training, getting better and better. In 1948, the son qualified for the Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland. He went over and competed, and a few days later, here in America, the dad received a telegram. It said, "Dear, Dad. Thanks for waiting around for me to be born. I'm coming home 24 years later with your Gold Medal."
Friend, God always has unexpected ways of working things out. When you let something go, when you put it in the hands of Almighty God, it doesn't necessarily mean that it's not going to happen. You're simply saying, "God, I'm going to let You do it Your way. I know You know what's best for me if I put my trust in You."
Remember, you don't have to figure everything out on your own. Just trust God. Turn things over to Him. Release the struggle. Release the frustration. Release the questions. Know that He is faithful, and He promises to fulfill every dream and desire that He has placed in your heart!
"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah 55:9, NIV)

Jesus is also called "His word" in Surah 4:171, meaning the Word of God. In Surah 3:45 we also read that the angels said to Mary "Allah giveth thee glad tidings of a word from Him, whose name is the Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary". More than once in the Qur'an, therefore, Jesus is called God's Word. He is also called the Word of God in the Bible.
"Lo! the likeness of Jesus with Allah is as the likeness of Adam, He created him from dust, then He said unto him, Be! and he is". (Surah 3:59)

Muslims - What does the Qur'an say about Isa (Jesus)?
When the angels said, 'O Mary, ALLAH gives thee glad tidings of a son through a word from HIM; his name shall be the Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, honoured in this world and in the next, and of those who are granted nearness to God;'And he shall speak to the people in the cradle, and when of middle age, and he shall be of the righteous.She said, 'My Lord, how shall I have a son, when no man has touched me? He said, 'Such is the way of ALLAH. HE creates what HE pleases. When HE decrees a thing HE says to it 'Be,' and it is;"—Qur'an, Surah 3:38-48
"Thereupon she pointed to him. They said, 'How can we talk to one who is a child in the cradle?' Jesus said, 'I am a servant of ALLAH. HE has given me the Book, and has made me a Prophet; 'And HE has made me blessed wheresoever I may be, and has enjoined upon me Prayer and almsgiving so long as I live; 'And HE has made me dutiful towards my mother, and has not made me arrogant and graceless; 'And peace was on me the day I was born, and peace will be on me the day I shall die, and the day I shall be raised up to life again.' That was Jesus, son of Mary. This is a statement of the truth concerning which they entertain doubt."—Qur'an, Surah 19:30-35

God Can Qualify The Disqualified |
|
Four women are mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus. (Matthew 1:1–16) Interestingly, they are not Sarah, Rebekah, Leah or Rachel, wives of the patriarchs of the Old Testament. Instead, they are Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba, women who had morally questionable backgrounds.
Tamar resorted to deception and prostitution to produce children through her father-in-law. Yet, it was from her line, the tribe of Judah, that the Messiah came. (Genesis 38) Rahab was a Gentile and a prostitute in Jericho, who became a believer in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Joshua 2:1–21) She also became the mother of Boaz, who married Ruth. (Ruth 4:13)
Ruth was morally upright. But as a Moabitess, she was a Gentile and therefore considered unclean. Yet, she became the grandmother of David (Ruth 4:13–17), whom the Jews regard as their greatest king. Bathsheba committed adultery with David. (2 Samuel 11:4) Later, she gave birth to King Solomon (2 Samuel 12:24), from whose royal line Jesus descended.
So what is God saying to us here?
He is saying that He is greater than our sins — where sin abounds, His grace abounds much more. (Romans 5:20) His grace is greater than our sins, so that even when the world disqualifies us, He can qualify us to receive His blessings!
God is also saying that He is a God of many chances. These women’s stories show us that even when our troubles are of our own making, they are neither final nor fatal. When we turn to Him, He will turn our situations around until we see His glory upon us!
Finally, God is saying that He is a God of supernatural positioning. Even when all our earthly connections are gone, the moment we turn to Him, He will find ways to turn our captivity into blessings.
My friend, don’t look at your natural circumstances and be discouraged. Trust the One “who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies”. Trust Him who qualifies the disqualified!

Time management – Balanced life?
Morning quiet time should be when you get up before everyone gets up. You set the tone for the day.
Example: 730am read to daughter, 8am get daughter dress for school, 9am pick up around the home.
There are just some suggestions and it’s what I do here at home.

Unanswered Prayers
These are the four reasons God withholds a blessing or answer when the condition of our hearts is not the deciding factor. God’s perspective encompasses more than ours.
