Sermon Video: Help the Weak - Acts 20:32-38

In the conclusion to his farewell address to the elders of the church of Ephesus, Paul speaks of his own hard work and diligence on behalf of the Gospel, using it as inspiration for his call to "help the weak".  In support of this charge, Paul utilizes a quote of Jesus that is reminiscent of the Beatitudes, "It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Helping those in need: the poor, the disabled, the addicts and prisoners, the persecuted and lost, is a Christian imperative for it is in this that we truly show the love of Christ to a world in need of the Gospel.  As individual Christians, and as a Church, we cannot solve every ill, but we can certainly make a difference somewhere, somehow, and we must, for our Savior, the Suffering Servant, demands it of us.
