UNHINDERED:
THE GOSPEL TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
Before Festus: A Strategic Move
(Acts 25:1-12)

Message Slides - click here

Message Resource - Paul the Roman Citizen - click here

Festus and the Jews
Opposition to the gospel is often disingenuous.
(25:1-5)

Paul and the Jews
Opposition to the gospel often involves an outright lie.
(25:6-7)

Paul and Festus
Integrity is always the best defense.
(25:8-10)

Paul and Caesar
Use all your strategic options in order to
advance the gospel.
(25:11-12)

Lessons for Witnesses:
A committed witness lives with integrity
and utilizes everything he can to advance the gospel.

Next Steps
• Paul is determined to get the gospel to Rome.   Who is on your list that needs to hear the gospel.  ______________________________________
• Talk with someone about the advantage that you have (like Roman Citizenship for Paul) which would help advance the gospel.

Home Church Questions
•  Read Acts 25:1-12.
•  What was the main point of the message this week?
•  Was there anything new, interesting, insightful, or even unclear from the message?
•  What was your main takeaway from this week’s message?
•  Why do you think the Jews were so relentless in their attempts to kill Paul?
•  Other than historical accuracy, why would two so similar accounts of Paul on trial (Felix and Festus) be put back to back?
•  How is Christianity under attack in the world today?
•  How is Christianity under attack in the United States today?
•  Paul is desperately trying to get the gospel to Rome.  With whom are you desperate to share the gospel?
