Acts 24:1-27
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.

Today, we're going to looking inside a first century Roman courtroom this morning. The scene is tense as forty men vow not to eat or drink until they have killed the Apostle Paul (Acts 23:12-15). Paul is soon before Felix as he was transported by 470 Roman soldiers after 9 pm to ensure his safety from reported death threats (Acts 23:23). Did you hear me when I said 470 soldiers? WOW! They didn't send him with a couple of police cruisers sitting in front of his house overnight. They sent a battalion!
I want to tell you an intriguing story which will deepen your commitment to Christ's and living a life of integrity. Now, I love a good legal drama as much as anyone. As you'll see everything culminates in the aftermath of today's legal drama as we eavesdrop on the priv ...
