The Church’s Prophetic Voice

In this 11/6/22 message, Elder Mike Gowens considers Paul's message to Felix (Acts 24:24-27), the Roman procurator that had jurisdiction over his case. Paul, though respectful, does not patronize the governor. He reasons of "righteousness, temperance and judgment to come." This episode is an example of an occasion in which those whose principal business is to proclaim the comfort of the gospel must also be prepared to speak as God's appointed moral authority in this world.
