A Growing Church

“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.”

‭‭Acts‬ ‭20:28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Paul was leaving Ephesus where he had planted the church and this was his farewell address to the leaders of the church.  Paul reminded them to guard their hearts and be true shepherds over all the flock and feed them well.  Paul also said that it was the Holy Spirit Who  appointed them to guard and oversee the churches that belongs to Jesus, the Anointed One, which He purchased and established by His own  Blood.  This is a reminder to all church leaders and pastors to feed their congregations well with the Bread of Life.  If the church is not healthy, lively and vibrant, growing and maturing in Christ, then let the overseers heed this seriously so that the life of the risen Christ may flow among the congregation through the mighty Holy Spirit, for Christ purchased it with His own Blood.  Thank You Lord Jesus!
