1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: Let us pray. I have showed you all things, how

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: that so laboring ye ought to support the weak and

3
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: said it is more blessed to give than to receive.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:22,279
Speaker 1: Acts twenty thirty five. In the name of Jesus. Through

6
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Acts twenty and twenty one, I declare that I am

7
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 1: now walking in a different discipline. I decree and declare

8
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:34,040
Speaker 1: that my body no longer has control of my life.

9
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: Through the power of the Holy Spirit. I am making

10
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: the decision to build up my innermost being so that

11
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: when I need to move in faith, my body can't

12
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 1: override my spirit. For your word declares that the spirit

13
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:57,320
Speaker 1: is willing, but the flesh is weak. So instead of

14
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: feeding my fleshly desires for comfort, I will instead turn

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: to my spirit that is powered by your Holy Spirit.

16
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: Jesus.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 1: Then move forward with purpose and power as one season

18
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: ends and another begins, Strengthen those I've impacted, continue to

19
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: inspire those I've been aligned to in season's past. Holy Spirit,

20
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: May my heart be felt and my gratitude shown to

21
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: every one who has played a role in helping me

22
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 1: to achieve all that you have called me to do

23
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: thus far in Jesus name. Amen. Listening to these daily

24
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: prayers strengthens your relationship with God. Continue hearing from the

25
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Lord by listening to to day's Bible in a Year,

26
00:01:52,760 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: brought to you by Bible in a Year dot com.

27
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 3: Leaving the Ephesians. In our last story, Paul established the

28
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 3: Church of Ephesus. The Ephesians became very close to Paul,

29
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: and they all ministered alongside one another like family. There

30
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,680
Speaker 3: never was a more fruitful church that Paul led than

31
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 3: the Church in Ephesus. Together they healed, preached, and protected

32
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 3: people from demons. Now we see Paul leaving Ephesus to

33
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 3: respond to the call of God. Danger awaited Paul, and

34
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: he and the Ephesians part ways to never see each

35
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: other again.

36
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: Hello, this is Jack Graham once again with today's episode

37
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 4: of The Bible of a Year. Thank you for joining

38
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 4: millions of people who have downloaded this podcast. In our

39
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 4: previous episode, we heard how Paul planted a church in

40
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: Ephesus that became a strong, bold, and effective body of believers.

41
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 4: Paul would hold a very special place in his heart

42
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 4: for the Ephesian Church and find great encouragement in the

43
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 4: faith of the believers there. Today, we'll hear as Paul

44
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 4: continues his missionary work after leaving Ephesus. We'll hear how

45
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 4: he performs yet another miracle that demonstrates the power of

46
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: Christ living in him and working through him. As he

47
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: moves throughout Asia, he'll share the Gospel of Jesus with

48
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,919
Speaker 4: every opportunity, even as he looks ahead with some concern

49
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 4: as to his return to Jerusalem. Now, let's listen to

50
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: today's reading from the Book of Acts.

51
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: Paul spoke in the center of a warm and crowded

52
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: upper room. He had spoken for hours on the Word

53
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 3: of God, telling stories and sharing his heart. However, the

54
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: night was hot, and a young man named Eutychus could

55
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 3: barely keep his eyes open. He leaned against the lattice

56
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 3: near the window for fresh air, doing his best to

57
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 3: remain attentive in a weeke. As Jesus once said, the

58
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Oh it

59
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: was for poor Eutychus. He listened to Paul teach the

60
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 3: word of God and slowly drifted into a deep sleep.

61
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 3: As Udaicus lost consciousness, his shoulder leaned against the lattice,

62
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: Paul continued to speak without taking a breath until he

63
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: heard a crack in the back of the room. Paul

64
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 3: could say nothing to stop what was happening. Eutychus had

65
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 3: fallen asleep, leaned against the window lattice, and fallen through

66
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 3: the floor below. Eudicus hit the floor with a deadly thud.

67
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 3: Paul ran down the stairs to the street below the

68
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 3: upper room. People were screaming and losing their composure, but

69
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 3: Paul knew exactly how Jesus could be glorified in this moment.

70
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 3: He bent over the lifeless body and took him up

71
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 3: in his arms. Do not worry, Paul said, life will

72
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 3: be restored to him in the name of Jesus. So

73
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: that morning, Eutychus woke up with air and his lungs

74
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: and his body uninjured. Paul continued his travels along the

75
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: Sea of Asia. He and Luke preached the Gospel and

76
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 3: every city they visit, but Ephesus was on his mind.

77
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 3: Paul knew that his journey would ultimately end in Jerusalem,

78
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 3: but he was frightened. The Jews burned with rage against Paul.

79
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 3: He was of them once. He was a pharisee of pharisees.

80
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 3: He was a high ranking official, given authority and influence.

81
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,360
Speaker 3: He gave it all up for Christ. For that reason,

82
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 3: the Jews hated him, Yet the Spirit drew him there.

83
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,559
Speaker 3: So Paul decided to go to Ephesus one more time

84
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 3: to see his dear friends. They were his true family.

85
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 3: Paul arrived in Ephesus again and called the elders to

86
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 3: join him in the room of meeting. The men gathered

87
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 3: around Paul. His lips were quivering and his hands were shaking.

88
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 3: Paul took a long, drawn out breath and began speaking.

89
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 3: You know that I have served among you without fear.

90
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 3: You know that I am not one to shrink in

91
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 3: the face of danger or persecution. There was a pause,

92
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 3: and Paul looked up at the loving faces of his

93
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: brothers and sisters. Paul smiled and cleared his throat, trying

94
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 3: to hold back tears. I am going to Jerusalem. I

95
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 3: don't know what will happen to me there. The only

96
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: thing I know is that the Holy Spirit draws me

97
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 3: forward so that I might finish the race. Well, it

98
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 3: is very possible that none of you will see my

99
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 3: face again. Tears broke through Paul's hardened face. I know

100
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 3: that when I leave there will be wolves in sheep's

101
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 3: clothing coming out against you. Be alert, my friends, put

102
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: on the full armor of God. The whole Ephesian Church

103
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 3: gathered around Paul. They knelt together and prayed. They embraced

104
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: him and cried on his shoulders. They knew they would

105
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 3: not see his face again. However, Paul would one day

106
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: write them a letter from prison, a letter reminding them

107
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: of their firm identity in Jesus, that they are to

108
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: be rooted and grounded in love, remembering that all good

109
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 3: things spring forth from Christ. The Ephesian Church would forever

110
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,960
Speaker 3: hold a special place in Paul's heart.

111
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 4: We begin today's scripture in the city of Troaz. After

112
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: leaving Ephesus, Paul had gone to Macedonia, then Greece, where

113
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: he ministered for three months until the Jews there formed

114
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 4: a plot against him and he left. In Troaz, Paul

115
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: and his missionary companions shared the Gospel for seven days,

116
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 4: and on Sunday of the second week, Paul gathered to

117
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: break bread with the church there and share some teaching

118
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: before leaving. Apparently he had much to say, because we're

119
00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 4: told he prolonged his speaking until midnight. Hungry for truth,

120
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 4: The brothers in Troaz hung onto his every word, lighting

121
00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: lamps in the upper room. As the night grew darker.

122
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 4: We hear of one young man named Euticus, who was

123
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: seated high up near a window in the third floor.

124
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 4: Try as he might have, he could not stay awake

125
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 4: into the late hours of the night, and eventually he

126
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 4: drifted into a deep sleep, falling through the window to

127
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 4: the ground below. His name, which means fortunate, seemed to

128
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 4: have fail him because his unfortunate fall proved fatal. As

129
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 4: people rushed to his aid and found his lifeless body.

130
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: Can you imagine the chaos? What a church service. Paul, however,

131
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:18,000
Speaker 4: remained calm. He went downstairs, bent over the young man,

132
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 4: and taking him into his arms, told the people not

133
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 4: to be alarmed because there was still life in Udicus.

134
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 4: Then he went back to eating and teaching, talking for

135
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 4: quite a while longer with them before leaving. Eudicus, we're told,

136
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 4: was taken away alive, just as Paul had said, as Elijah,

137
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: Elisha and Jesus before him, Paul was operating with God's power,

138
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 4: the power of the resurrection, flowing through him, so that

139
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 4: not even death could have the final say. We then

140
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 4: heard how Paul continued his travels throughout Asia. He had

141
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 4: a singular purpose and plant to make the name of

142
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: Jesus known throughout the world. But even as he traveled,

143
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 4: he knew calling was leading him back to Jerusalem, a

144
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 4: place where he once was in the in crowd of

145
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 4: Jewish leaders and rabbis. Now he was persona on grada

146
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 4: among the Jews because he proclaimed Jesus as the Messiah.

147
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 4: Before going home to Jerusalem, however, Paul wanted to see

148
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 4: his beloved Ephesian Church brothers and sisters once again, so

149
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 4: he called for the elders there to gather. He went

150
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 4: back to Ephesus and spoke to them, reminding them of

151
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 4: his passion and purpose. As he went about Asia and

152
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: every stop, the Holy Spirit had told him of the

153
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 4: persecution he would face, and yet he continued. He pressed

154
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 4: on with the message of Christ. In Acts twenty twenty four,

155
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 4: we read these words from Paul, some of my favorites,

156
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 4: in all of the Book of Acts and in the

157
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 4: Bible itself. But I do not account my life of

158
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: any value, nor as precious to myself. If only I

159
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: may finish my course in the ministry that I have

160
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 4: received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the Gospel

161
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 4: of the grace of God. Paul was not saying his

162
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 4: life had no value or that it wasn't valuable. To

163
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 4: the contrary, he was saying that his value and worth

164
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 4: was not according to his own efforts or plans, but God's.

165
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,679
Speaker 4: He knew that there would be no greater value than

166
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 4: to pour himself out for the sake of the advancement

167
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: of the Gospel, being willing to suffer anything for the

168
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: cause of Christ. That was his high and holy calling

169
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: and purpose, and it was of infinitely greater worth than

170
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: anything else he could imagine. Oh, that we would be

171
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 4: so bold and courageous to share the Gospel. And remember,

172
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 4: this ministry is not achieved, it is received from the Lord.

173
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,559
Speaker 4: Paul continued speaking to the Ephesians, warning them to be

174
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,559
Speaker 4: on guard that false teachers and wolves would try to

175
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 4: lead them astray, that they were to hold tight to

176
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 4: the teaching that they had received and remember God's word.

177
00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 4: He would later write a very powerful letter to the

178
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 4: Ephesians in which he reminded them how Christ reconcile them

179
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,160
Speaker 4: and all of creation to himself and to God the Father,

180
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 4: calling them to unity in Christ with each other as

181
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: Christ Church and encouraging them to put away falsehood, speaking

182
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: the truth in love, and to live as brand new

183
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 4: people in Christ. It was a bittersweet time, as Paul

184
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 4: in the Ephesians knew this would likely be the last

185
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: time they would be together this side of eternity. Dear God,

186
00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 4: we thank you for the courage and the commitment of

187
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 4: the apostle Paul. What a great man. May we be

188
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 4: motivated by his example for our own witness in the

189
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:40,079
Speaker 4: power of the Holy Spirit. Help us to hold fast

190
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: to the truth of the Word of God and to

191
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 4: speak boldly the testimony of Jesus everywhere we go. May

192
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 4: you bless your church and the missionary movement of Jesus
