Today, we turn our gaze towards Acts 24:25, a passage that holds within its lines profound truths that speak to our ...read more

    Go Thy Way: He Waited For A Convenient Season Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Mar 31, 2020
     | 3,459 views

    In this last message for this "Go thy way" series, Felix a Roman governor, talked with Paul about the Christian faith several times. He listened but told Paul "go thy way and I'll talk to you about this when I have the time". Sadly, he never found the time.

    Background: Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem, then taken to the Roman barracks (castle, KJV: Acts 21:34, 37, e.g.). Later Paul was sent to the seat of Roman government in Caesarea. He had been tried and accused of charges, serious at the time, but was declared neither guilty nor innocent. Paul ...read more

    To decide to delay is to decide to deny.

    When I was around 10 years old, my grandma gave me a bunch of unused stamps and told me to hang on to them because they’d be worth a lot of money in the future. For the past 50 years I’ve known I had them in a file but never got around to checking on their value. Thinking this would make for a ...read more

    Felix Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 11, 2022
     | 2,408 views

    Felix represents many people intrigued by the gospel but recognizes that surrendering to it means losing status, power, or control of their own lives. Mere exposure to truth does not necessarily enlighten the heart, and Felix is an excellent example of that.

    Felix Felix was Festus' predecessor. He imprisoned Paul but allowed him to speak in his defense. He hoped Paul would offer him a bribe, but he never did. Festus thought Paul was delusional, but he did not think that was cause for putting him to death or locking him up, so he let him ...read more

    Acts Of The Apostles 35 Of 39

     | 1,465 views

    In Acts twenty-four we find the apostle Paul is being held in custody as a common criminal, waiting for his accusers to arrive, and is to appear before Antonius Felix, the governor of Judaea.

    Felix was a politician in every sense of the word. He had risen from being a subservient person, to the position of Governor of Judaea. He got his start through the influence of his brother at the imperial court of Claudius. He married three Princesses, which also elevated his career. The first ...read more

    Delusions That Defy Common Sense

     | 2,125 views

    The world system and all who live by it apart are deluded by both the devil and their own depraved minds. They believe they have everything figured out and can live without the intervention of God Almighty. Scripture proves otherwise.

    The apostle Paul told the church at Corinth that there is a time to put away childish things and assume the maturity and responsibility expected of an adult or mature young person (1 Corinthians 13:11). The time comes for everyone to grow up and realize that the world and all you know does not ...read more

    Dodging Decisions Series

     | 1,743 views

    What is often passed off as indecisiveness or propriety or procrastination is a dishonest attempt to keep from honoring what is right and fair. We can see Felix’s motives as an example. We can also see how God can use such red tape.

    Dodging Decisions (Acts 24:1-27) 1. So today we honor our graduates, and we honor our fathers. 2. I will honor our graduates with a joke: Why did Mary want to work at a Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet even though she'd received her B.A. degree?

    Encouraging Dads To Tell Their Story Series

    You see, the gospel is not just something you hold onto but the gospel has its hold on you. The power of the Gospel on a person is most evident when you see its hold on a person.

    Happy Father’s Day! Dads, there are too few good fathers around. Dads, I want to speak to encourage you to deepen your commitment to living a life of integrity in Christ. To know Jesus is to have a story of how you came to know Jesus. This story is often referred to as your “testimony.” In fact, ...read more

    Felix was born a slave, but eventually worked his way up to Governor of Judea. He trembled under the power of the Holy Spirit, yet wasn't converted. Many today are close, but miss salvation.

    Following Jesus Requires A Choice To Be Made Series

     | 469 views

    One question we must always ask is: Who do we follow? What is it in this world that we call Lord and why does it mean more to us than Him? Paul's testimony about who Jesus is is very clear - and we can learn so much from it in order to follow Jesus closer.
