Elders are responsible for the spiritual leadership of God’s people. But how can they fulfill their duties if the church has no members? Teaching from Acts 20, Alistair Begg explains why the local church is vitally important and why membership matters. We must be careful not to neglect what the early church took for granted: that every Christian would join with others in the membership of a local congregation, united in fellowship.
28lPay careful attention to yourselves and to all mthe flock, in which nthe Holy Spirit has made you ooverseers, pto care for qthe church of God,5 which he robtained swith his own blood.6 29I rknow that after my departure tfierce wolves will come in among you, unot sparing the flock; 30and vfrom among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. 31Therefore wbe alert, remembering that xfor three years I did not cease night or day yto admonish every one zwith tears.
