ACTS: Part 44 – Encouraging Christ’s Disciples
When the uproar in Ephesus was over, Paul sent for the disciples and encouraged them. Then he said good-bye and left for Macedonia. While there, he encouraged the believers in all the towns he passed through. Then he traveled down to Greece, where he stayed for three months. Then he went to Macedonia, to Troas where he kept the Christians—who were called disciples—awake all night encouraging and teaching them what to believe and how to follow Jesus. A young man by the name of Eutychus was so tired that he fell out the window to his death, but Paul prayed for him, served communion, and then kept on teaching. Why? Because discipleship was Paul’s chief concern.
