“A Life Lived on Purpose”
Acts 20:17-38

This was a difficult goodbye for Paul. Notice how it came about:
• Prologue: Arranging the Meeting - :17-18a
The apostle Paul was a passenger on a merchant ship making its way slowly down the Aegean Sea toward the Mediterranean, stopping with regularity. At Miletus, the boat docked to load and unload cargo. Paul saw and seized an opportunity here, sending word for the elders from the church at Ephesus to come and meet him. And for us, his words to them illustrate a life lived on purpose.

I. The Church Comes In to Worship & Fellowship - :7a
On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread…
Now we might be tempted just to run right on by this, because it doesn’t strike us as unusual, but there are some things to note:
• “First day of the week”
FF Bruce says this is “the earliest unambiguous evidence we have for the Christian practice of gathering together for worship on that day”.
Why Sunday worship?
Why not Sabbath worship?
