Let's pray. Our gracious heavenly Father, we 9 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:32,310 thank You for Your Word. We thank You, Lord, for telling us 10 00:00:32,340 --> 00:00:36,150 about yourself in your words so that we can know your heart. I 11 00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:39,000 pray, Lord, that as we read today, you would teach us touch 12 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:43,290 our minds touch our hearts. We pray this in Jesus name, amen. 13 00:00:44,010 --> 00:00:45,990 Okay, are you ready? Let's begin. 14 00:00:48,690 --> 00:00:53,160 Acts chapter 25. Three days after Festus arrived 15 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:56,460 intercessory. To take over his new responsibilities. He left 16 00:00:56,460 --> 00:00:59,820 for Jerusalem, where the leading priests and other Jewish leaders 17 00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:03,300 met with him and made their accusations against Paul. They 18 00:01:03,300 --> 00:01:06,480 asked Festus as a favor to transfer Paul to Jerusalem, 19 00:01:06,630 --> 00:01:10,980 planning to ambush and kill him on the way. But Festus replied 20 00:01:10,980 --> 00:01:14,340 that Paul was at Surya and he himself would be returning there 21 00:01:14,340 --> 00:01:18,480 soon. So he said, those of you in authority can return with me. 22 00:01:18,810 --> 00:01:22,200 If Paul has done anything wrong, you can make your accusations 23 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:26,370 about eight or 10 days later, Festus return to assessor Ria. 24 00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:29,340 and on the following day, he took his seat in court and 25 00:01:29,340 --> 00:01:33,510 ordered that Paul be brought in. When Paul arrived, the Jewish 26 00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:36,780 leaders from Jerusalem gathered around and made many serious 27 00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:41,040 accusations they couldn't prove. Paul denied the charges. I am 28 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,640 not guilty of any crime against the Jewish laws or the temple or 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,450 the Roman government. He said, Then Festus wanting to please 30 00:01:48,450 --> 00:01:51,780 the Jews asked him, Are you willing to go to Jerusalem and 31 00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:56,070 stand trial before me there? But Paul replied, No, this is the 32 00:01:56,070 --> 00:01:59,730 official Roman court, so I ought to be tried right here. You know 33 00:01:59,730 --> 00:02:03,210 very well, I'm not guilty of harming the Jews. If I've done 34 00:02:03,210 --> 00:02:06,780 something worthy of death, I don't refuse to die. But if I am 35 00:02:06,780 --> 00:02:10,020 innocent, no one has a right to turn me over to these men to 36 00:02:10,020 --> 00:02:13,920 kill me. I appealed to Caesar Festus conferred with his 37 00:02:13,920 --> 00:02:17,430 advisors and then replied, very well, you have appealed to 38 00:02:17,430 --> 00:02:22,050 Caesar and to Caesar you will go. A few days later, King 39 00:02:22,050 --> 00:02:25,530 Agrippa arrived with his sister Bernice to pay their respects to 40 00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:30,090 Festus. During their stay of several days, Festus discussed 41 00:02:30,090 --> 00:02:34,680 Paul's case with the king. There was a prisoner here he told him 42 00:02:34,740 --> 00:02:38,190 whose case was left for me by feelings. When I was in 43 00:02:38,190 --> 00:02:41,760 Jerusalem, the leading priests and Jewish elders press charges 44 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:45,270 against him and asked me to condemn him. I pointed out to 45 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:48,390 them that Roman law does not convict people without a trial, 46 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,970 they must be given an opportunity to confront their 47 00:02:50,970 --> 00:02:54,660 accusers and defend themselves. When his accusers came here for 48 00:02:54,660 --> 00:02:57,990 the trial. I didn't delay. I called the case the very next 49 00:02:57,990 --> 00:03:02,070 day in order to Paul brought in, but the accusations made against 50 00:03:02,070 --> 00:03:05,550 him were at any of the crimes I expected. Instead, it was 51 00:03:05,550 --> 00:03:08,970 something about their religion and a dead man named Jesus, who 52 00:03:08,970 --> 00:03:13,020 Paul insists is still alive. I was at a loss to know how to 53 00:03:13,020 --> 00:03:15,960 investigate these things. So I asked him whether he would be 54 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,680 willing to stand trial on these charges in Jerusalem. But Paul 55 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,920 appealed to have his case decided by the emperor, so I 56 00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,830 ordered that he be held in custody until I could arrange to 57 00:03:25,830 --> 00:03:29,280 send him to Caesar. I'd like to hear the man myself a grip have 58 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:34,080 said and Festus replied, You will tomorrow. So the next day 59 00:03:34,110 --> 00:03:37,410 Agrippa and Bernice arrived at the auditorium with great pomp 60 00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:40,980 accompanied by military officers and prominent men of the city. 61 00:03:41,700 --> 00:03:45,480 Festus ordered that Paul be brought in. Then Festus said, 62 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,810 King Agrippa, and all who are here, this is the man whose 63 00:03:48,810 --> 00:03:51,900 death is demanded by all the Jews, both here and in 64 00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,890 Jerusalem. But in my opinion, he has done nothing deserving 65 00:03:55,890 --> 00:03:58,680 death. However, since he appealed his case to the 66 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,220 Emperor, I have decided to send him to Rome. But what shall I 67 00:04:02,220 --> 00:04:06,030 write the Emperor, for there is no clear charge against him. So 68 00:04:06,030 --> 00:04:08,700 I have brought him here before all of you, and especially you 69 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:12,210 King Agrippa, so that after we examine him, I might have 70 00:04:12,210 --> 00:04:15,780 something to write, for it makes no sense to send a prisoner to 71 00:04:15,780 --> 00:04:19,110 the Emperor without specifying the charges against him. 72 00:04:19,829 --> 00:04:25,679 Acts 26. Then Agrippa said to Paul, you may speak in your 73 00:04:25,679 --> 00:04:31,049 defense, so Paul gesturing with his hand started his defense. I 74 00:04:31,049 --> 00:04:33,959 am fortunate King Agrippa that you are the one hearing my 75 00:04:33,959 --> 00:04:37,229 defense today against all these accusations made by the Jewish 76 00:04:37,229 --> 00:04:41,069 leaders. For I know you are an expert on all Jewish customs and 77 00:04:41,069 --> 00:04:45,719 controversies. Now please listen to me patiently. As the Jewish 78 00:04:45,719 --> 00:04:49,259 leaders are well aware, I was given a thorough Jewish training 79 00:04:49,259 --> 00:04:53,339 from my earliest childhood among my own people and in Jerusalem. 80 00:04:54,119 --> 00:04:56,939 If they would admit it, they know that I have been a member 81 00:04:56,939 --> 00:05:00,989 of the Pharisees, the strictest sect of our religion. And now 82 00:05:01,019 --> 00:05:04,199 I'm on trial because of my hope in the fulfillment of God's 83 00:05:04,199 --> 00:05:08,459 promise made to our ancestors. In fact, that is why the 12 84 00:05:08,459 --> 00:05:12,479 tribes of Israel zealously worship God, night and day, and 85 00:05:12,479 --> 00:05:16,709 they share the same hope I have. Yet, Your Majesty, they accused 86 00:05:16,709 --> 00:05:20,879 me for having this hope. Why does it seem incredible to any 87 00:05:20,879 --> 00:05:24,479 of you that God can raise the dead? I used to believe that I 88 00:05:24,479 --> 00:05:27,599 ought to do everything I could to oppose the very name of 89 00:05:27,599 --> 00:05:31,979 Jesus, the Nazarene. Indeed, I did just that in Jerusalem. 90 00:05:32,429 --> 00:05:35,939 Authorised by the leading priests, I caused many believers 91 00:05:35,939 --> 00:05:39,569 there to be sent to prison, and I cast my vote against them when 92 00:05:39,569 --> 00:05:43,559 they were condemned to death. Many times I had them punished 93 00:05:43,559 --> 00:05:47,819 in the synagogues to get them to curse Jesus. I was so violently 94 00:05:47,819 --> 00:05:50,759 opposed to them that I even chased them down in foreign 95 00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:55,349 cities. One day, I was on such a mission to Damascus, armed with 96 00:05:55,349 --> 00:05:59,189 the authority and commission of the leading priests. About noon, 97 00:05:59,189 --> 00:06:02,399 Your Majesty, as I was on the road, a light from Heaven 98 00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:06,989 brighter than the sun shone down on me and my companions. We all 99 00:06:06,989 --> 00:06:11,159 fell down, and I heard a voice saying to me in Aramaic, Saul, 100 00:06:11,189 --> 00:06:15,089 Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is useless for you to 101 00:06:15,089 --> 00:06:19,679 fight against my will. Who are you, Lord, I asked. and the Lord 102 00:06:19,679 --> 00:06:24,239 replied, I am Jesus, the one you're persecuting. Now get to 103 00:06:24,239 --> 00:06:27,269 your feet, for I have appeared to you to appoint you as my 104 00:06:27,269 --> 00:06:31,529 servant and witness. Tell people that you have seen me and tell 105 00:06:31,529 --> 00:06:34,919 them what I will show you in the future. and I will rescue you 106 00:06:34,919 --> 00:06:39,089 from both your own people and the Gentiles. Yes, I am sending 107 00:06:39,089 --> 00:06:42,599 you to the Gentiles to open their eyes, so that they may 108 00:06:42,599 --> 00:06:46,559 turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, 109 00:06:46,949 --> 00:06:49,439 then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and 110 00:06:49,439 --> 00:06:52,739 be given a place among God's people who are set apart by 111 00:06:52,739 --> 00:06:57,119 faith in me. and so King Agrippa I obeyed that vision from 112 00:06:57,119 --> 00:07:01,199 heaven. I preached first to those in Damascus, then in 113 00:07:01,199 --> 00:07:05,069 Jerusalem, and throughout all Judea, and also to the Gentiles 114 00:07:05,099 --> 00:07:08,729 that all must repent of their sins and turn to God and prove 115 00:07:08,729 --> 00:07:12,719 they have changed by the good things they do. Some Jews 116 00:07:12,719 --> 00:07:15,659 arrested me in the temple for preaching this and they tried to 117 00:07:15,659 --> 00:07:20,069 kill me. But God has protected me right up to this present time 118 00:07:20,069 --> 00:07:23,759 so I can testify to everyone from the least to the greatest. 119 00:07:24,359 --> 00:07:27,599 I teach nothing except what the prophets and Moses said would 120 00:07:27,599 --> 00:07:31,619 happen, that the Messiah would suffer and be the first to rise 121 00:07:31,619 --> 00:07:35,549 from the dead, and in this way, announce God's light to Jews and 122 00:07:35,549 --> 00:07:41,039 Gentiles alike. Suddenly fester. shouted Paul, you're insane. Too 123 00:07:41,039 --> 00:07:45,509 much study has made you crazy. But Paul replied, I am not 124 00:07:45,509 --> 00:07:49,139 insane, most excellent Festus what I am saying is the sober 125 00:07:49,139 --> 00:07:52,799 truth. and King Agrippa knows about these things. I speak 126 00:07:52,799 --> 00:07:56,039 boldly for I am sure these events are all familiar to him, 127 00:07:56,189 --> 00:07:59,969 for they were not done in a corner. King Agrippa Do you 128 00:07:59,969 --> 00:08:04,559 believe the prophets? I know you do. Agrippa interrupted him. Do 129 00:08:04,559 --> 00:08:07,619 you think you can persuade me to become a Christian so quickly? 130 00:08:08,069 --> 00:08:12,599 Paul replied, whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you 131 00:08:12,599 --> 00:08:15,389 and everyone here in this audience might become the same 132 00:08:15,389 --> 00:08:19,499 as I am, except for these chains. Then the king, the 133 00:08:19,499 --> 00:08:23,699 governor, Bernice and all the others stood and left. As they 134 00:08:23,699 --> 00:08:27,389 went out, they talked it over and agreed. This man hasn't done 135 00:08:27,389 --> 00:08:30,899 anything to deserve death or imprisonment, and Agrippa said 136 00:08:30,899 --> 00:08:34,049 to Festus, he could have been set free if he hadn't appealed 137 00:08:34,049 --> 00:08:34,739 to Caesar. 138 00:08:36,390 --> 00:08:39,630 In Paul's opening statement, he established his credentials to 139 00:08:39,630 --> 00:08:43,230 Agrippa and everybody else who was listening Agrippa was a 140 00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:46,590 convert to Judaism, and who therefore knew better than most 141 00:08:46,590 --> 00:08:50,340 other Roman authorities the Jewish laws and customs. Paul 142 00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:53,700 explains that not only is he a Jew, but that he's a highly 143 00:08:53,730 --> 00:08:57,690 educated Jew from a sect that is known as being very strict or 144 00:08:57,690 --> 00:09:01,380 conservative, as we might say today. and not only was he from 145 00:09:01,380 --> 00:09:05,640 such a sect, he adhered to its teachings. He then explained 146 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,790 that he used to persecute Christians and even encouraged 147 00:09:08,790 --> 00:09:11,700 and participated in the execution of Christians, 148 00:09:11,970 --> 00:09:16,110 believing that this was a right and proper thing to do. and then 149 00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:19,620 Jesus stepped into his life in a way that Paul could not deny. 150 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:24,390 Paul literally saw the light and then forth, his life was forever 151 00:09:24,390 --> 00:09:28,920 changed. God chose this man among all others to take the 152 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,850 message of the Good News to the Gentiles. What do we learn from 153 00:09:32,850 --> 00:09:37,320 this? We learned that it doesn't matter what your background is, 154 00:09:37,470 --> 00:09:41,550 God can reach down and save you and he can use you no matter 155 00:09:41,550 --> 00:09:46,470 what. Paul was the least likely candidate for man's perspective, 156 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,460 to be the one to carry the message to the Gentiles, let 157 00:09:50,460 --> 00:09:54,900 alone the Jews, but God had other plans. So what are his 158 00:09:54,900 --> 00:09:58,800 plans for you? They're probably completely different than you 159 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:05,520 could have ever imagined. One thing I can recommend you do is 160 00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:11,070 this. Ask the Lord to use you. In whatever way he sees fit. He 161 00:10:11,070 --> 00:10:14,520 will take you up on your offer in some way, shape or manner. 162 00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:18,180 He's always looking for willing hearts. You have thoughts or 163 00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:20,910 questions, let me hear from you send a Boostagram or call the 164 00:10:20,910 --> 00:10:23,760 Lifespring family hotline or go to the comments page or write an 165 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,630 email. Tomorrow we'll be epistle Sunday and our reading will be 166 00:10:27,630 --> 00:10:28,620 the book of Jude. 167 00:10:56,370 --> 00:11:02,130 Music: We'd come to you before everybody comes. 168 00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:12,780 Steve Webb: On Wednesdays episode, Psalms 146 through 148, 169 00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:16,380 the God who can be trusted. After the commentary, I asked 170 00:11:16,410 --> 00:11:20,250 this question, how have you found God to be worthy of 171 00:11:20,250 --> 00:11:23,940 praise? Well, in response to that this call came in on the 172 00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:25,440 Lifespring family hotline. 173 00:11:25,420 --> 00:11:27,790 LeeAnn Webb: Good morning, everyone is LeeAnn. Just calling 174 00:11:27,790 --> 00:11:31,420 to give a word about the faithfulness of God to our 175 00:11:31,420 --> 00:11:35,830 lives. He has been faithful to me in so many ways. Number one, 176 00:11:35,830 --> 00:11:38,770 he provided me with a fabulous husband that I would not have 177 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,160 ever dreamt I could have. and he's taken care of our family 178 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,400 through the years. If there was a need, he always made sure it 179 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:50,620 was taken care of. and he took care of our son in his deathly 180 00:11:50,710 --> 00:11:54,400 illness, and brought him through that gave him good doctors to 181 00:11:54,460 --> 00:12:00,010 make him have a good life again. and he's always provided in the 182 00:12:00,010 --> 00:12:05,110 fact that our boys have had good spouses who love their children 183 00:12:05,110 --> 00:12:09,640 and love them, and have given them good relationships. and 184 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,270 just the relationship that Steve and I have, and in the fact that 185 00:12:13,270 --> 00:12:16,870 we've got this great life, big family. and he's blessed us in 186 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:20,920 so many ways. It's been amazing. and I'm grateful to God for 187 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,870 that. Have a great day everyone. 188 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,960 Steve Webb: That was of course the Lovely Lady LeeAnn, and yes, 189 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,290 God has been so faithful to us. Not that we've been without 190 00:12:29,290 --> 00:12:32,680 struggles. Of course, we've had numerous times when life got 191 00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:36,070 difficult, but we always knew that God was there and that he 192 00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:39,790 is faithful. We didn't know how he was going to provide but he 193 00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:44,140 always has, and often in the most unexpected ways. One of the 194 00:12:44,140 --> 00:12:47,500 great lessons we have learned is that God works in the midst of 195 00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:51,310 our struggles, difficulties and heartbreaks. Our heavenly Father 196 00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:54,490 walks with us through those times, and uses them to 197 00:12:54,490 --> 00:12:59,500 strengthen us to teach us and to bring us wisdom. He truly is 198 00:12:59,500 --> 00:13:03,280 worthy of praise. So thank you, sweetheart for your call. Oh, 199 00:13:03,370 --> 00:13:06,850 and I know this isn't Sunday when we normally have praise 200 00:13:06,850 --> 00:13:10,180 reports, but this is sort of a special one that I just can't 201 00:13:10,180 --> 00:13:13,360 wait to share with you. grandchild number six 202 00:13:13,390 --> 00:13:17,500 granddaughter number four was born on Thursday, September 21 203 00:13:17,530 --> 00:13:22,450 at 1218 in the morning. Her name is Juliet Grace Webb, and 204 00:13:22,450 --> 00:13:26,320 everyone is doing well. Mommy Valerie had a much easier time 205 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,030 with this delivery than she did with Penny. Daddy Tim actually 206 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:34,690 did the delivery honors himself because the midwife didn't get 207 00:13:34,690 --> 00:13:38,650 there in time. and big sister Penny already loves her new 208 00:13:38,650 --> 00:13:41,590 little sister.
