Building an Inheritance

Building an Inheritance

This week, Deacon Chairman Chris De Jabet preaches through Acts 20:17-38, where we see that in order to build an inheritance, we must live out integrity in ministry, courageous obedience to God’s calling, commitment to teaching the full truth, and faithfully shepherding others to maturity. Video of the worship service is available beginning Sunday at 9:30 AM at https://southviewbaptist.org/live.

Locations & Times

Sunday 9:30 AM

1. Building an inheritance requires consistency and commitment (vv. 17-21).

• The consistency of what you do reveals who you are (vv. 18-19).
• Commit the time to build one another up, without hesitation (v. 20).
• Share the Good News with everyone, indiscriminately (v.21).

Action: Live a life that leads others toward Jesus.
2. Building an inheritance will be marked by struggle and sacrifice (vv. 22-27).

• Two things are certain — you will meet resistance, and the Holy Spirit is alongside you (vv. 22-23).
• Know the value of your purpose (v. 24).
• Leave nothing on the table (vv. 25-27).

Action: Live a life that is obedient to God even when it is going to cost you.
3. Building an inheritance is guaranteed to need guardians (vv. 28-31).

• Your pastors are appointed by the Holy Spirit to guard you (v. 28).
• False teaching will try to distort the truth from both outside and inside the church (v. 29-30).
• Listen to the warnings and stay alert (v. 31).

Action: Live a life grounded in Biblical truth, supported by good shepherds.
4. Building an inheritance is committed to God’s grace (vv. 32-38).

• Your hope is in God and his message of grace (v. 32).
• Emulate what you have learned from those who have gone before you (vv. 33-35).
• Deep relationships are the threads of your spiritual lineage (vv. 36-38).

Action: Live a life connected with your fellow church members.
