In Acts 26, Paul makes his defense before King Agrippa and Festus in what might today be called a black-tie affair. Paul, in this 3rd defense of the charges against him, returns to his constant theme--the resurrection of Jesus Christ has transformed Paul from a persecutor of followers of the Way to one, changed by the power of Christ, who shares willing that Christ saves by his blood sacrifice and delivers salvation to the believer.Support the show (https://fbcelreno.com/give/)

From Acts 25, Tyler Kelley, Associate Pastor explores the goodness of God related to our circumstances. Difficulty may cause us to ask, "Is this really God's will for my life?"

Yet through every difficulty, Paul was able to see the hand of God turning each dark circumstance into an opportunity for the Lord's goodness and grace to shine.Support the show (https://fbcelreno.com/give/)
