Feed the Church of God Acts 20:28

Feed the Church of God Acts 20:28 KJV 28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.

Feed the Church of God KJV Acts 20 V. 17 – elders – presbuteros (old) V. 28 – overseers – episkopos (superintendent, bishop) V. 28 – feed – poimaino (shepherd, tend, pastor)

Feed the Flock of God NKJV 1 Peter 5:1-4 The elders who are among you I exhort, I who am a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and also a partaker of the glory that will be revealed: 2 Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly; 3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock;

Feed the Flock of God WHY? Acts 20:29-32 Grievous wolves Men (of you own selves)

Feed the Flock of God WHAT? Acts 20:27; 20:32 “all the counsel of God” “the word of His grace  build you up, give you an inheritance”

Feed the Flock of God John 6 V. 26-27 – “You seek me, not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled” V. 35 – “I am the bread of life” V. 41 – “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph?” V. 51 – “I am the living bread” V. 60 – “This is a hard saying”

Feed the Flock of God John 6 V. 66-68 66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, "Do you also want to go away?" 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

The Words of Eternal Life Gain our salvation – Rom.1:16 Gain our faith – Rom. 10:17 Truth = gospel – Col. 1:3-6 Divine standard – 2Tim. 3:16-17 Armed with the sword – Eph. 6:17; Heb. 4:12 Teach others to teach – 2 Tim. 2:2

The Words of Eternal Life Elders use the word in their rule – Heb. 13:7 It is the word that elders use to feed the flock to strengthen them and protect them from grievous wolves and self-promoting elders from within

The Words of Eternal Life The elders are qualified to use the word: Apt to teach Not a novice Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict

Some Examples Preaching (located and gospel meeting) Teaching in the Bible classes Elders teaching classes and preaching Elders to the individual or small group

Elders to the Individual Itching ears - 2 Tim. 4:2-4 Married couples Parents and children Feuding members Addicted Sheep that don’t want to eat

Elders in General Urgency vs. Patience “Drama” vs. Restraint

Elders in General Elders must give an account to God Hebrews 13:17 Elders carry burdens (gladly) that others probably don’t

Feed the Flock of God Be devoted to knowing the word, applying the word, living the word Know the flock Feed the flock of God
