PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Have you ever fallen asleep in church?
I.The Ministry of the Word:
Acts 20:7
“All Scripture is breathed out
by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:16-17
“"For as the rain and the snow come
down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth;
it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
Isaiah 55:10-11
II.Eutychus Sitting on the Windowsill:
Acts 20:8-10
How should we understand the bending over and embracing of Eutychus?
“Then he stretched himself upon the child three times and cried to the Lord, "O Lord my God, let this child's life come into him again." And the Lord listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived.
1 Kings 17:21-22
"Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm. Then he got up again and walked once back and forth in the house, and went up and stretched himself upon him. The child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.”
2 Kings 4:32-35
"And the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth."”
1 Kings 17:24
Eutychus is more than "fortunate," and so are we.
The miracle of Eutychus’s raising from the dead is great but it points back at the greatest resurrection of Jesus and points forward to the greater resurrection we will receive in the Kingdom to come.
III.Alive and Comforted:
Acts 20:11-12
