Acts 20

Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.20 You know tht I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house.

Paul had not hesitated to preach the challenging, the convicting, the comforting, anything that would be helpful. Sometimes we are not quite so brave and steer away from telling people everything that would be helpful.

v.24 However I consider my life 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.

The most important thing to Paul was to complete the task God had given him. This was more important than life itself. I wonder if we feel this way? Are God's tasks primary or secondary in our lives?
