Passage: Acts 25:1-26:29
Series: Acts
Duration: 1 hr 0 mins 9 secs
Paul is not only a master of Theology, he has an acute knowledge of Roman law and procedure. In this episode he maneuvers the court to get him to Rome in fulfillment of the declaration of Jesus in Acts 23:11. It is amusing to watch him manipulate the courts in his favor.

Passage: Hebrews 10:19-25
Series: Hebrews

With this passage the author begins the practical portion of the letter. First, we need to understand that because of Christ we now have confidence to enter the holy places, to enter the presence of God. Nothing in Judaism can prepare a person for this privilege.

Series: Micah

Paul confronts his accusers in Jerusalem and violence breaks out (again). The Roman Tribune, needing to save Paul, sends him to the Governor, Felix, in Caesarea. Felix calls a court, sort of, to hear the case, but decides to postpone it for another day. Lots of intrigue in this story!

Wed, Nov 16, 2022
by John Copper
Passage: Micah 5:1-15
Series: Micah
Duration: 1 hr 0 mins 16 secs
In this chapter we have prophecies of both the birth and the return as King of the Messiah. This is a good example of what is called the "Mountain Peaks of Prophecy." What was understood to be the prophecy of one event is actually two separated by a few thousand years, so far. It is an interesting study with a lot of ramifications for us.

Series: Acts
Duration: 50 mins 33 secs
The prophets earlier warned Paul against going to Jerusalem, But God wanted him to go there. Sure enough, trouble came from some Jews who followed him from Asia (Jews who did not believe Jesus is the Messiah). Paul did not start the trouble, but he is in the midst of it, again.

Wed, Oct 26, 2022
by John Copper
Passage: Micah 3:1-12
Series: Micah
Duration: 59 mins 50 secs
The problems in Israel can all be traced to a failure to live according to the Law of God. No man, and no Nation will avoid the Justice of God forever. What was true in the days of Micah in Israel are true in the good old USA today, and we will not escape either.
