1:: Acts 24 Expository Bible Study w/ Q&A, Attack of Paul Moves Into the Courtroom, Paul on Trial
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 02.05.2024 · 04:49:31 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Acts 24 Spiritual Witness and Spiritual Warfare Clash in the Courtroom:
What God Proposes, Satan Opposes
0:00 Introduction: Clash in the Courtroom. Satan Opposes every decision you make for Him.
1:06 The Big Idea of this Chapter - Paul and others are witnessing and there is spiritual warfare against it.
4:42 Review of the attacks on Paul in Acts 21, 22, and 23
5:20 Acts 24. The enemy is not giving up. The attack on Paul moves into the courtroom. Trying to take out Paul one way or another.
6:11 What is the witness? God has an eternal purpose that the Jew and Gentile should be one body in the Church to get an administrator for the future Kingdom.
6:39 What does God propose? That we join that purpose. Satan Opposes that. 2 Timothy 3.
8:00 What are you suffering for?
8:32 What makes our life important or not is the cause you represent.
9:14 vs. 10 The purpose of suffering - salvation in Christ Jesus WITH eternal glory
10:11 Why are we here on earth? For the sake of those who are chosen. John 15:15. To bear fruit by cooperating with and proclaiming His purpose to the Church in the world. Only what you do in the power of the Holy Spirit will remain.
11:31 Verses 1 to 9 Strong Yet Untruthful Accusations - There is religious malice against Paul and it motivates them to go through hardships to persecute Paul. They don't know God.
13:32 What will come of Tertullus? Tertullus is a class of lawyers. Verbal bullets - strong and untruthful accusations - oratory and flattery used to flatter Felix who is a bad guy.
19:28 Factual and Courageous Answers 1) He answers with courtesy without flattery 2) He has straightforward statements - simple and truthful 3) He will fearlessly deny the charges 4) He has a righteous challenge - We don't need to twist things.
22:03 Felix lacks moral clarity and hence Hesitation and Indecision Despite Being Well-Informed - Evil will eventually make you a coward. John 3:19-21 The real problem is that we love evil. But we need to repent of loving evil. Come to the light.
26:45 Felix Missing His Golden Opportunity - What is a Golden Opportunity? For 2 years, Felix has the greatest thinker in his quarters. Felix missed it.
31:15 How can a good command of language and skillful public speaking be used harmfully by others against Christians or be used by Christians to protect us, pierce the conscience and get conviction of the Holy Spirit?
40:10 If a person has charisma, how careful should he be with his gift? Test the spirits. When the Antichrist and false prophet show up, they will be the best speakers.
42:22 Why is it so important for us to use facts in answering accusations against us and not respond emotionally and launch our own personal attacks? Don’t get in the way of the Holy Spirit.
48:23 How does Jesus' response to Pilate encourage us when it seems the "higher authorities" like Felix do not favor us and only want what is good for themselves? How does Paul's refusal to offer a bribe to obtain his freedom encourage us to refuse questionable antics to try to escape our own troubles? Deliverance will come from God. Don’t take short cuts.
50:20 What steps should Christians take to have moral clarity that is Biblical and, in God's eyes, blameless in today's world. See Hebrews 4:12. Don't live in an echo chamber.
52:45 Colossians 1:13 Are you willing for God to transfer you from the domain of darkness into the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. Witness for Him.
2:: Acts 22 Bible Study with Q and A Paul’s Testimony of Conversion Repeated, Roman citizenship of Paul
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 06.04.2024 · 20:33:40 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Acts 22
Paul the Prisoner Preaches to the People
How Does the Holy Spirit Give the Best Witness in the Worst of Circumstances
0:00 Background to the events that lead to Paul giving an answer or "apologia." When things are at their worst, can we be at our best? Being His witness is the purpose of this book.
2:54 Paul is bound with two chains - Day one of Paul as a prisoner. Romans don't want a rebellion and the commander takes Paul from the mob.
6:00 Paul knows Hebrew and Greek. The crowds are shocked because the officers are standing with him and he speaks in Hebrew. It's surprising he's even coming back to the mob. Paul is not a fragile eggshell that cracks and have a meltdown. He loves and speaks the truth in love.
9:46 How does the Holy Spirit Give the Best Witness in the Worst of Circumstances? How do you respond to a deep personal attack? He calls them brethren and fathers - love. I was just like you. Paul was the MVP - Most Valuable Pharisee.
16:25 But Something Happend to Paul. God interrupted him so he could be a new person. He changed because he asked, "What should I do?"
18:33 Paul Was Called in Weakness. Paul is not making himself look good.
20:00 Paul Wanted to Stay. Paul us showing the Jews that he loves them. God told him to go to the Gentiles. Before the captivity the Jews were idolatrous. After the captivity, the Jews were exclusive.
23:09 Rescued from Agony - The word bezerk is a Nordic term for a frenzied rage. The Romans are there to stop them from killing Paul.
25:15 The Privilege Roman Citizenship protected Paul. The commander thinks Paul is guilty and is going to whip him. Paul has dual citizenship. You couldn't flog a Roman citizen and you had to give the Roman citizen a fair trial.
28:40 The only New Testament precedents for spreading the Gospel are godly living, praying and bold speaking. Geoffrey Thomas
29:17 Why would God repeat what we already have heard? Answer: 1. We are not good listeners. Learn how to listen 2. There's a fresh insight for us. 3. He highlights important things and universal relevance. 4. He will show lessons that are relevant for the whole Christian age. 5. It gives us fresh insight into the same story because of a new context.
33:45 What truths is God strongly declaring to us from the story of Paul's conversion to Christianity? 1. Once human religious stubbornness forms, it requires a miracle to be rescued from it. 2. Sincerity is not the greatest Virtue. 3. Humility is essential for God to change us. 4. Loyalty to the Messiah is infinitely greater than loyalty to a system that talks about the Messiah.
36:30 How can we known if we have a better understanding of truth? Let the Bible speak for itself. A better understanding has explanatory power and objective truth, balance and absolute subjective conviction. It inspires and is transformative and elevates.
38:47 What attitudes should we have about ourselves if we are gifted with a "better" understanding? We need a better character to properly hold a better understanding. Does the Christian ministry produce toy soldiers or Navy Seals.
42:16 When should Christians use their civil rights to protect themselves? 1. To avoid unnecessary humiliation or suffering. 2. To assert the righteousness of our cause against base slander.
45:28 In what situations can too much reliance on such rights cause Christian work to flounder or fail? 1. When God wants us to suffer. 2. When opposition would lead us in sin. 3. When the real issue is not protecting your rights but losing them, a spiritual issue and glory of Christ issue. You build better in suffering.
47:31 Where is our true citizenship. Our citizenship is in heaven. Human governments will fail. The cross paid for that citizenship.
48:47 Do we know what are civil rights are. Do we take advantage of them? There's no Virtue in laziness. Take time to know the laws of your land.
49:55 We live in a time of freedom that's about to vanish.
3:: Acts 21 Bible Study w/ Q & A, How to Know God’s Will, Who is Phillip, his pure daughters and Mnason?
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 22.03.2024 · 10:00:02 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Hard Journey to A Hard City: How to Find God's Perfect Way, Despite Confusion and Contradiction
Making decisions in the will of God is hard.
0:00 Jerusalem is a hard city. There is spiritual hardness and a core of people there who will refuse to hear the truth and unwilling to submit to Jesus.
1:42 Some Christians want an easy journey. It's hard for disciples to understand the hard truths. God's way may not feel good but ARE good.
4:05 What is the safest place in the world? Being in the center of God's will.
4:42 Paul's heart is for God's will to be done with him. Can we know God's will when others do not?
5:58 Speaker's Outline: Acts 21 1 to 16 All sections talk about what's given to Paul on his journey by God's people, Church leaders, Jewish accusers and the Roman government.
10:16 Acts 21 1 to16 What do we get on the hard journey? Warmth, warning, weeping and welcome.
13:00 Acts 21 11 The warning with Agabus - The Holy Spirit is preparing Paul for what's to come. That's why there's warnings.
14:22 Acts 21 5 - The first place in Acts that children are mentioned. Take your children to he with God's servants.
15:22 The picture of what church should always be.
15:42 Weeping and breaking Paul's heart. Love is vulnerable but the love of Christ cannot be manipulated. Learn how to handle serious topics with others. Don't be talked out of God's will because of friendships. What matters is the will of the Lord be done.
19:10 Welcome - Do you find welcome in any Christian home.
19:44 Acts 21 8 - The welcome of Phillip. Phillip's home is like a lighthouse. He welcomes Paul into his home but there's no competition.
20:57 Phillip's four virgin daughters. There's immorality in the Roman world. Sisters can prophesy and express the mind of the Lord. Be filled with the Holy Spirit. The daughters are pure and follow in the truth that Phillip preached. Obey the Holy Spirit. Be pure women.
24:43 Acts 21 16 Mnason a disciple from the beginning. He's showing hospitality and he is doing what he can.
25:30 Acts 21 20 False Reports of Paul spread. He is not attacking Judaism but he's saying that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Judaic system. Pass on the right news. Counsel to conceal his identity.
27:15 Compromise to get conciliation. Zealous for the law is the immature life. It's not conformity to formality but it's conformity to reality that matters.
29:05 How can we share our concerns with God's servants without being controlling or without persuading them the wrong way? How can we avoid ignoring good advice that can save our lives? With questions about decisions we need to make.
35:33 Why are aged Christians like Mnason undervalued and neglected? What can we do to have inter-generational care between believers of all ages?
41:58 What does Paul mean that he becomes "all things to all men" in order to save some? When is accommodation harmful or overdone and can ruin your testimony or witness?
51:01 How do we deal with enraged mobs and fanaticism in people we really love? How do you work with relatives and friends who say that YOU are the fanatic and try to silence you?
4:: Acts 20 17-38 How to Recognize True Spiritual Leadership? Exhortations and Encouragements to Elders.
01.01.1970 · 01:00:00 ··· 26.02.2024 · 19:46:41 ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· ··· Bible Study Expository Teaching in Acts 20 17 to 38 Exhortations and Encouragement to Elders to Lead, Sacrifice, and Care for God’s People
Recognize and Support His Shepherd of His Flocks.
Paul’s Burden is to talk to the elders on the essential truths for all churches about what matters for church leadership.
0:00 Exhortations and Encouragements to Elders. What matters for Church Leadership?
1:40 What does Church in Ephesus mean? The New Testament Church is a community of churches in a city.
2:57 Why is Paul meeting with the elders? When you strengthen the leadership, you strengthen the churches.
3:28 Christianity is not about having titles. The elders are Holy Spirit made men. They don't come from a vote.
4:33 How do Elders fail? If they see their title as a job and not as a calling.
6:00 Exhortation means get to work. Encouragement means you can get the work done. Men who will show up and do the job is what God is looking for.
7:20 Those who lead and those who are led need to be one. Everyone can recognize true spiritual leadership.
8:46 People treat church leaders like actors and care only about the performance and not the person.
12:03 Leadership is not ownership but stewardship.

18:09 What type of church should you be in? Individuals and families are the foundation stone of church growth.
19:26 Christianity is NOT the religion of hermits. You're not hiding in your home. The church and the home are to be one continuous life together, connected all the time.
20:25 What is the progression in the sections of the outline? Future, past and present
21:02 Acts 20 22 to 25 FUTURE - Can this be your life? Paul is a model for the elders. Finish the work. That's the way to end. It's not an easy work. The office of the elder is a fine work.
22:11 Acts 20 26 to 35 PRESENT - How do you live? He's faithful, not popular. Is God pleased? He is careful to be innocent of the blood. If you keep your mouth shut when you should speak, you share the guilt. Be on guard. Take heed to yourself, the flock, the wolves and traitors.
24:40 The Holy Spirit makes elders. What do overseer and elder mean? Episcopal. In the Church of God Titles are not emphasized and many times to be refused. Oversight of the flock. Elders and bishops are the same person. Position and work.
26:40 Generosity. There's nothing like asking for money that will ruin your testimony. God will provide. Let needs be known in the work of the Lord. Don't ask for yourself. Paul wasn't in it for personal gain. More blessed to give than to receive. The devil's servants are taking. The Lord's people are giving out of love. Love the Lord God with all your heart, soul mind and strength.
30:00 What is good leadership? Holy Spirit birthed leadership. Authority without authoritarianism, discipleship without dictatorship, flexibility without folly, guidance without control, criticism without destruction, sacrifice without fanaticism, dignity without folly. Who you are as a leader is what matters the most. Read Titus 2.
32:39 Describe both the inner life and practices of effective Christian leadership. The inner life of a shepherd is to be a sheep. A shepherd is one of His sheep.
35:08 What kind of impact does a home of service and hospitality have on the guests and on the families who serve them? Sacrifice. The work is changing you and the ones around you. Are you willing to change? Relationships and a place to connect. Church should be like home.
39:36 Impact on the guest - God loves you.
40:08 Impact on the families who serve - My home and the church is the same culture. No duality or hypocrisy. The church is invading the world with the culture of heaven. Jesus Christ is the culture, not your race or ethnicity, gender, economic status.
42:11 What are some important life projects and commitments that seem hard to finish? Salvation, having children, marriage.
44:08 Homeschooling or taking responsibility for the education of your children.
44:44 Don't waste your time on the wrong projects and commitments
45:03 What truthful advice can we give someone or yourself to help stay on the path of God's purpose and focused on His calling to the end?
48:27 How is it possible to share the "whole purpose of God" yet still bring fresh and new insights that keep us from being trapped in trendy movements or inflexible theology? Really all 66 books of the Bible. Relevance of the Bible.
51:01 What "counsels of God" are not consistently taught in the Church yet, if dwelt upon, would benefit believers in any circumstance and prepare us for the end of the world? Rewards, consequences, responsibility, controversial issues. Justification, sanctification and glorification.

Notes:
The Miracle and the Message
Healing Should Bring worship, Testimony, and Repentance.
WHEN THERE IS A WORK OF GOD IN OUR DAY, PEOPLE IGNORE IT. PEOPLE DENY THE TRUTH. ST. AUGUSTINE: MIRACLES ARE NOT CONTRARY TO NATURE BUT ONLY CONTRARY TO WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT NATURE. WE ARE SO LIMITED. GOD IS ABLE TO SUSPEND THE NATURAL PROCESS. CS LEWIS MIRACLES. CHRISTIANITY IS BUILT ON MIRACLES: THE GREATEST MIRACLE WAS THE RESURRECTION. IT’S BECAUSE OF THAT MIRACLE THAT TRIGGERS OTHER MIRACLES IN THE CHURCH. THEY HAD EVERYTHIING TO LOSE IF IT WAS A LIE BUT EVERYTHING TO GAIN IF IT WAS TRUE. BUT NOT MIRACLES BY THEMSELVES. BUT SOME PEOPLE ARE GULLIBLE. WHAT GIVES CHRIST A BAD NAME IS WHEN PEOPLE STAGE A MIRACLE BUT THEY ARE FAKE. WE ARE THE MIRACLE. WHAT IS THE GREATEST MIRACLE? HE TOOK A COMMITTED MURDERER OF CHRISTIANS, PAUL, AND CHANGED HIM INTO A COMMITTED DISCIPLE WHO LOVES GOD. THE GREATEST MIRACLE IS TO SEE A DEPRAVED MAN CHANGED.
ACTS 2:42-47 THE CHURCH IS BORN AND PLANTS THE NAME OF THE LORD RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF ENEMY TERRITORY. THE APOSTLES LIVE IN A HEAVENLY CULTURE AND THE CULTURE IS NOT MIRACLES BUT JESUS CHRIST. THE FOCUS IS NOT EXHIBITIONISM, OR MAKING MONEY BUT GIVING IT AWAY. SOMETIMES GOD’S PEOPLE GET CONFUSED BY THE WRONG MODEL. IT’S THE LIFE THAT YOU LIVE THAT MAKES YOU EFFECTIVE. ACTS 3 IS TELLING US THAT OUT OF THE CHURCH, HEALING IS COMING FORTH.
WHAT IS ESSENTIAL IN THE WORK OF GOD? THE ANOINTING AND FILLING OF THE HOLY SPIRT, IT DOESN’T MEAN HYSTERICAL BEHAVIOR BUT GOD WANTS TO FILL US WITH THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH THE HOLYT SPIRIT. “HE MUST INCREASE AND I MUST DECREASE.” WHAT PERCETAGE IS YOU AND WHAT’S THE LORD? NOT A BETTER YOU BUT CHRIST IN YOU IS THE END OF THE JOURNEY. TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT TO BE TOUCHY, AND YOU’RE LOVING GOD’S PEOPLE AS IMPERFECT AS THEY ARE. YOU CAN’T BUY THE HOLY SPIRIT. THERE’S NO SHORTCUTS IN HOLINESS.
1-3 SITTING HELPLESS AT THE BEAUTIFUL GATE. WHERE IS HE FOUND? JUADAISM, THE TEMPLE, AND A PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL GATE. THERE’S A CONTRAST. BEAUTIFUL BUT AN UGLY LIFE. THIS IS A METAPHOR FOR ISRAEL. WEEK BY WEEK YOU HAVE THE SAME DEFEATED LIFE. HUMAN RELIGION CAN’T MEET HIS NEED. HUMAN RELIGION EVEN AT IT’S BEST CAN’T HELP.
