As Acts comes to a close, Paul stands before Festus and King Agrippa, boldly proclaiming the truth of Christ even while in chains. Choosing to appeal to Caesar sets the stage for his dramatic voyage to Rome—complete with storms, shipwreck, and a snake bite that would’ve taken out anyone but a man on God’s mission. When Paul finally reaches Rome, he spends his days preaching the Kingdom of God unhindered. These final chapters remind us that no opposition, obstacle, or earthly authority can stop the advance of the gospel. God’s Word always gets where He intends it to go.Questions:1. Before Agrippa, Paul speaks with both boldness and respect. What can we learn from Paul’s approach to sharing the gospel with skeptical or powerful people?2. The storm and shipwreck in Acts 27 show God’s protection even when circumstances look hopeless. How have you seen God use difficult or chaotic seasons to redirect or strengthen you?3. Acts ends with Paul preaching “with all boldness and without hindrance.” What would it look like for you to live with that kind of unhindered commitment to the mission of Christ?Use my affiliate link to get the CSB apologetics study bible hereMy video review the CSB Apologetics Study BibleAll our links are here
