Event: Paul’s Defense Before King Agrippa
S – Scripture
Acts 26 v. 20 But declared first to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God and perform deeds worthy of their repentance.
O – Observation
So much to unpack in one verse. First, Paul's approach, inner circle, then expanding outward following the instruction by Jesus in Acts 1 v.8b, "And you shall by my witness in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria and to the end of the earth." It’s a great approach, focus first on the relationships that you have right now, right here. It’s the point of biggest impact, then focus outward. Second, the message - Repent, turn and perform. Turn to God and accept Jesus as your savior then live our your faith. James 2 v. 17, "So faith by itself, if it has no works is dead."
A - Application
How well am I living out these verses?
P – Prayer
Jesus, Help me to be a witness to you. Love Will.
