What does it mean to be a living witness for Jesus? In Lesson 132, Alan Smith connects Paul's ministry in Ephesus with the Apostle John's later years, examining the lasting force of personal testimony and the church's call to recognize every believer's ministry.
The teaching also highlights Brian's ministry as a professional golf caddie. Through years of travel and friendship with golfer Tanner, Brian has found opportunities to mentor and share his faith. The congregation prays for Brian and Christina, asking God to strengthen their service and make their ministry fruitful. Their ministry name, "Caddies Are Athletes Too," points to the often-overlooked role caddies play.
As the study returns to Acts 20, Alan discusses John's connection to the church in Ephesus, his exile on Patmos, and the early church traditions about his life. He reflects on John as one of the last living eyewitnesses of Jesus and connects that responsibility to the testimony believers carry today. The lesson also considers oral tradition, the written Word, and why Christians should share what God has done in their lives.
The message is part of an ongoing study of Acts and Paul's writings. Follow along with an open Bible, test each teaching against Scripture, and consider where God has called you to serve.
