As Paul was on his way to Rome to stand trial before Caesar, he went on trial 3 times in defense of his faith.
Once before Felix, once before Festus, and once before King Agrippa.
Didn't have time to preach the lessons learned from all 3, but you can still listen and hear why Felix was frightened and Festus was freaked out about the message of Jesus.

There's a show in Gatlinburg called Cirque de China. They said it's straight off the Vegas Strip! Of course, I couldn't video tape inside the show...so here's what went on before and after (just as entertaining!)
I've always planned on taking the kids fishing. Fortunately, our resort hosted a free kids fishing trip.

You know, in America we work very hard to defend our "rights".
I'm amazed at times I've watched judge shows (Judge Judy, Judge Joe Brown, etc.) and seen 2 people fly across the country to be on national television over a $150 cell phone bill.
What a shame.
And you know what they always say? "It's not the money, it's the principle..."
I believe God would call this ultra-defense of individuality and "rights" not the principle, but the pride!
Tonight's lesson will challenge you to think about whether you strive for America's values of being right, or God's values of being righteous.
BUT, if I were you I'd read up on the Nazirite vow in Numbers 6 first. That will really help you to understand Paul's humility and his pursuit of righteousness over being right.

Have you ever wondered what John's Baptism was all about? Or, how about Apollos and whether or not he was rebaptized after he was "taught more adequately" by Priscilla & Aquila?
Check out this latest lesson from Acts 19 and draw your own conclusions...
