DISCOURSE: 1797PAUL’S SERMON AT TROASActs 20:7. And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.IF we look at Christianity as it exists at this day, it appears little else than a name, and a form: but if we contemplate it as it existed in the apostolic age, it will be found an active and invigorating principle in the minds of men, engaging all their affections,... read more

And when they were come to him, he said unto them, Ye know, from the first day that I came info Asia, after what manner I have been with you at all seasons. Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews: and how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Acts 20:1-38

Last week we left Paul in Ephesus, in the midst of a near riot in town, as Demetrius the silversmith got together his companions in trade and pointed out how the preaching of Paul was about to put them out of business. Because these men made little likenesses of their goddess Diana, and Paul was going around telling everyone they weren't true gods. And so these silversmiths stirred up the city and they were gathered together in the arena crying, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians." Half the... read more

Acts 20:1-12And after the uproar was ceased, Paul called unto him the disciples, and embraced them, and departed for Macedonia. Reading between the linesThere does not seem to be much in this section of the apostolic history. We must not, however, judge by appearances. Paul is still here, and wherever you find the great man you find the great worker. Paul does nothing like any other man. Look at--I. The variety of personal movement.1. Paul “embraces” the disciples--a word which hides in it the... read more

Acts 20:3And when the Jews laid wait for him as he was about to sail.Paul’s prudenceWhy was it safer for Paul to travel by land through Macedonia than to go down to the seaport, Cenchrea, to take ship there? The reason is, that the Jews, with their keen trading instincts, had settled chiefly in the great seaports and emporia of trade throughout the civilised world. Paul thus, in entering a seaport, would find himself in the midst of a large body of Jews, who had both the ability and the will to... read more

The “first day of the week” appears to have been the usual period of assembly, and no doubt was selected and consecrated by apostolical authority.1. It was held--(1) In honour of the Saviour’s resurrection--that event which proved His mission Divine, His mediation effectual, and His combat with death and hell victorious.(2) Being the day of the Lord’s resurrection, it was noted as “the Lord’s day,” when His people meet for His... read more
