June 11, 2023 • Pastor Bill West • Acts 23:11, Acts 24:10–26
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 is facing great opposition from the Jews in Jerusalem. Yet, he has the courage to proclaim the truth about what his life was like before knowing Jesus and what it was like now. He was more concerned with telling others about Jesus than about facing misunderstanding and rejection.
