Happy Friday, and welcome back to Bible Study Snacks! I hope everyone had a nice week. It's great to be here with you again! As always, I thank you so much for joining me as we walk together through the richness of God's spoken word, and wisdom. I pray that today finds you in good health and strong in faith!
This week, I would like to continue our study of the Book of Acts, with Chapter Twenty-six, Verses 27-32.
I have designed these studies to be brief, yet packed full of good information for everyone regardless of your level of biblical knowledge. I might add that these quick studies make perfect small group discussion starters, as well!
As always, I whole-heartedly believe in the importance that any Bible study should begin with prayer. If you have your Bible ready, let's pray together...
"Heavenly father, please guide us as we study your Word today; I pray that our hearts and our minds will be open so that we will not only receive your Gospel, but learn from it as well; you are the Light of the world, Lord, and your Spirit will illuminate our path as we journey through your teachings. In the name of Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Savior. Amen"
If you are taking notes for yourself, or using this for a bible study with others, here are the objectives for this week's lesson...
OBJECTIVES: This week, the reader will...
1) Review Paul's question on belief of the prophets to Agrippa.
2) Observe King Agrippa, Festus, and others in deliberation on Paul.
For your convenience, here is a summary of Acts 26:27-32...
Paul asked King Agrippa if he believed the prophets. He had a brief dialogue with Agrippa about his belief. He addressed King Agrippa, "do you believe the prophets? I know that you do believe." Agrippa replied, "You almost persuade me to become a Christian." Paul responded that he would, for not only Agrippa, but for all who heard him to become Christians. Of course, Paul did not desire for any to be in bonds, as he was. (27-29)
King Agrippa, Festus, and the others then deliberated about Paul. No charges were found against him. They said, "This man is doing nothing deserving of death or chains." Agrippa pointed out that Paul might have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar. (30-32)
REVIEW QUESTIONS:
1) What did Paul ask King Agrippa? (Acts 26:27)
2) What did King Agrippa say in response to Paul? (Acts 26:28)
3) What did Agrippa, Festus and the others say among themselves? (Acts 26:31)
4) What did Agrippa then say to Festus? (Acts 26:32)
After completing this week's study, I encourage you to go back and read through the material again. Take your time and read each topic and scripture reference as many times as you feel necessary. Keep in mind that by doing this, you just might see something new that you overlooked the first time around!
As we journey through the Bible together, I will continue to pray that God’s message will come through to you loud and crystal clear. Until next time, I wish everyone a blessed week!
God bless you!
