I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you.
- Taylor Swift

Teaching by example and word

• Example seen (Acts 20:18-19)
• Word declared (Acts 20:20-21)
• Example modeled (Acts 20:33-35)

Defining success as faithfulness

• Doing hard things (Acts 20:22-23)
• Finishing well (Acts 20:24)
• Locked in on the truth (Acts 20:25-31)
  • It's okay to not be okay, it's just not okay to stay that way
  • Gospel only, Gospel always
  • Jesus reigns over everything

Road sign instead of weather vane

• Always pointing in the same direction: Jesus
