Acts 25

Basically, I talk about whatever happens to be on my mind from the last couple of different things, and we're going to do some of that.

It is going to be a little bit, but we're also going to stick with the moving forward to Acts 25.

We're going to read Acts 25.

We're going to talk about Acts 25.

We're going to walk verse by verse down through Acts 25, looking at Paul's character.

So what we did, what was it? Thursday, Thursday, yesterday.

What we did yesterday, we walked through the concept of Acts 25 bit by bit, the blueprint, the blueprint for kingdom life, for kingdom living that we see here in Paul's trials and tribulations before he gets to Rome, being told he's going to go to Rome.

I mean, he's told by the Lord that he's going to go to Rome.

He's not like, courts are bad, never go, never use them.

We actually see in Acts 25 that he appeals directly to Caesar because his concern wasn't just for justice, but it was actually around the scandal of Christians not being able to... not like share the gospel with one another.

And so he goes to Caesar and he appeals to him, and you can read this in Acts 25.

And so this passage isn't rather about Christians should never report Christians, but rather it's actually trying to say that there is a time and there is a place, but when we have personal things between one another, like there is a proper way to go about this.

But I think this distinction is important because I think at times in the Western church, we have used things like this to cover up things that have happened within our walls.
