The Apostle Paul is testifying

before Governor Festus, King

Agrippa, and Agrippa’s wife

and sister -- Bernice.

He is speaking directly to

King Agrippa.

3

He is telling of his

conversion on the road

to Damascus.

Jesus has appeared to Paul in a bright Light.

“I am Jesus Whom you have been persecuting.”

Now He is telling Paul what he must do.

No better witnessing

tool.

4

Acts 26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have

appeared unto thee for this Purpose, to make thee a

minister and a witness both of these things which

thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I

will appear unto thee;

God saves each one for a Purpose.

We are part of His Plan to further

the Kingdom of God.

5

We must do nothing that will hinder us from

fulfilling God’s Purpose for us.

Seek no pleasure that is contrary to God’s Will.

Don’t let the pursuit of money and stuff hinder

the pursuit of the Will of God.

Don’t let the cares of this world weigh us down.

Steps that God

Has ordered

Whole

6

(Jesus said) Mark 4 19 And the cares of this world,

and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of

other things entering in, choke the Word, and it

becometh unfruitful.

7

17 Delivering thee from the people (Jews), and from

the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, 18 To

open their eyes, and to turn them from

darkness to light, and from the

power of Satan unto God, that they may receive

forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them

which are sanctified by faith that is in Me.

When people hear and believe the Gospel,

things happen for their good.

8

Acts 26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not

disobedient unto the Heavenly vision: 20 But

shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at

Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea,

and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent

and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.

All that Paul did was in obedience to the Lord,

Jesus Christ who spoke to him that day.

What did he preach?

9

Do works worthy of repentance.

Turn from

10

Be faithful in good things.

Worship is not a

spectator sport.

11

21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the

temple, and went about to kill me. 22 Having

therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this

day, witnessing both to small and great, saying

none other things than those which the prophets

and Moses did say should come:

Still witnessing ‘cause I ain’t dead yet.

Witnessing the Truth which was prophesied by

Moses and the prophets:

Messiah has come and His Name is Jesus.

12

23 That Christ (Messiah) should suffer, and that He

should be the first that should rise from the dead,

and should shew Light unto the people, and to the

Gentiles.

There is no other

message that will

save men’s souls.
