In Acts 20:17-38, Paul passed the torch of ministry to the elders of the church in Ephesus. In his speech to them, Paul described the character of elders and their work of ministry. With a few such elders as Paul described, the church has the team it needs to fulfill the mission that God has given it.
God sent his unique Son in human flesh to be the propitiation for sins, Savior of the world, and life for all who believe.
Dying and rising with Christ through faith transforms wives and husbands and solves the basic problem of marriages.
The people could draw near to God only after the blood of the covenant was shed.
