A Festus for the Rest of Us
May 14, 2023 Preacher: Caleb Bunch Series: Acts
Topic: Evangelism Scripture: Acts 25–26
Three incorrect responses to the gospel: persecution, accusation, and superiority.
1. Persecution
If you are aChristian giving faithful witness, like theapostle Paul, you will face some
king of persecutiom.
2. Accusation
Acts 25:24-25
Festus: "Paul, you are are out of your mind because of your great education.."
Paul: "I am not out of my mind...but I am speaking true and rational words."
3. Superiority
Acts 25:23 - Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp, with a large entourage to display their high position and authority, but Paul was in humble clothing and circumstances.
v26 - Agrippa " would you, lowly Paul, try toto persuade someone like me to become a Christian?"
