  1. A Godly Leader Serves with Humility and Tears • “You know how I lived the whole time I was with you, from the first day I came into the province of Asia. 19 I served the Lord with great humility and with tears, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews. (v. 19)

  2. The first characteristic of a godly leader is humility toward yourself and a tender heart toward those you serve.  • A godly leader, the kind every church longs for, is the person who serves gratefully and out of heart for the people of the church.

  3. A Leader is Faithful in Proclamationof the Truth • You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. 21 I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus.[20,21]

  4. First, Paul preached the whole counsel of God. • Second, he taught in a variety of ways. • Third, he taught a variety of people.  • Fourth,he had a simple message.

  5. A TRUE SERVANT IS WILLING TO ENDURE HARDSHIP • And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. 23 I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me.24 However, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace. [22-24]

  6. “ Keep watch over yourselves”. • In the book of Hosea, God says, • I cared for you in the desert, in the burning heat.  When I fed them, they were satisfied.  When they were satisfied, they became proud.  When they became proud, they forgot me.  (Hosea 13:6)

  7. Beware of False Teachers from Outside the Church. • Beware of Those who Corrupt from Inside the Church • Only the Word of God is the anchor that will not drift.
