Some call this a farewell speech; I see it more as a dying death declaration. Either way, Paul was saying goodbye. Using proper hermeneutics, it’s essential to know & understand who Paul was addressing in this context. According to verse 17, he was addressing the elders and pastors of the church in Ephesus. Paul was
I was asked to preach at this church conference, where the theme was ‘How to engage the world Biblically.’ In my session, I did an exposition of Ephesians 5:1-21, as a mirror for self-examination, and a lamp unto our feet.

I found this sermon and thought I’d upload it on my channel. I preached this sermon on January 10th, 2021.
