Almost Persuaded<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Acts 26<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s Testimony<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

What His Life Was Life Before Salvation vs. 4-11<\/strong><\/p>\n

Pal was raised a Pharisee<\/p>\n

Paul was being judged for having the same hope the people of the Old Testament had \u2013 the hope of the Saviour<\/p>\n

The Hope of Eternal Life<\/p>\n

Paul had rejected this truth and like the Jews of Paul\u2019s day, did everything he could contrary to Jesus Christ<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

How He Came to Know the Lord vs. 12-18<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our hope is not in a religion, but a person<\/p>\n

Jesus still wanted to use Paul<\/p>\n

Paul was to become a minister, a messenger, and a mediator vs. 16<\/p>\n

Paul was to go and reach the world with His message<\/p>\n

How Jesus Sees Us:<\/em><\/p>\n

Spiritually Blind<\/p>\n

Satanically Bound<\/p>\n

How God Saves Us<\/em><\/p>\n

Freedom \u2013 open their eyes and turn<\/p>\n

Forgiveness \u2013<\/p>\n

Fulfillment \u2013 Receive inheritance<\/p>\n

Fellowship \u2013 among them which are sanctified<\/p>\n

Focus \u2013 Faith that is in me (Jesus)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What His Life Was Like After Salvation vs. 19-23<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was not disobedient<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s message was what Moses and the prophets had been telling Israel<\/p>\n

The Old Testament told of how Christ should suffer and conquer death and be a light to the Gentiles<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s Trial <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Festus \u2013Accepting not the Resurrection<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Agrippa<\/strong> \u2013 Almost Persuaded but Lost<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Court\u2019s Silent Vote<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each one of the court walked away, silently casting their vote against Jesus<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
