The Book of Acts ends with Paul in Rome and without any conclusion because God continues to work through His Church today. The Church is still the Hope of the World and we have both the privilege and responsibility to continue to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to a world that desperately needs Him. We must continue on with what has gone on before us. We Can Still Make A Difference
Paul is standing before King Agrippa because, as a Roman citizen, he appealed to go to Rome. He uses the opportunity to share his story in this unique way. You and I are given many opportunities to share our story, we like Paul must be looking for and willing to speak up, even if we seem out of step with others. Facing the King
Paul trusted God and knew that he would one day share the gospel in Rome. He boldly spoke the truth about what he did and what was done to him. He had disobeyed no law and was standing before Felix only because he believed in and taught about the resurrection. It was his commitment to Christ that got him into trouble not his personal animosity towards people. A Faithful Witness
