This week we look at Paul’s response to accusations against him as he gives a defense to three main groups— a crowd, a council, and a court. In each encounter, Paul displays great boldness as he respectfully articulates true and rational words. We see purpose in his persecution: the mission of Jesus and the desire to see people come to faith in him. Let’s join the mission and allow the Holy Spirit to equip us with moral conduct, conviction, and courage to live and declare biblical truth among a deceived culture, having the desire to see people give their lives to Jesus.
