8.3.25 "Acts 21 & 22"

In Acts Chapter 21, Paul finds himself on trial. He's been assaulted by the Jews - who are demanding an explanation from him. The Roman Official who came to Paul's rescue - is equally interested in what Paul has to say for himself. And in Chapter 22, Paul makes his "defense."Paul is a unique character in Christianity. His life (likely) looks far different than yours or mine. Yet, as Christians, we share the same radical identity that Paul had. We belong to a culture that looks radically different from the cultures it finds itself in. And so - as Christians - we ought to expect to give an "answer" or "defense" for our lives.In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the reasons that Paul is on trial - and considers some ways in which Christians today ought to look different from their surrounding culture.
