A missionary shared the story about an African man to whom he had given a copy of the Bible. The African was deeply grateful for the Bible and thanked the missionary profusely for the gift. Several months later the missionary saw the man again.

My message will center around the trial of three judges. The story is very simple and very familiar. Paul is on trail for his faith and for his life. It is sunset in the life of the apostle. He is nearing home.
Paul is not afraid and it is from this area that he writes Romans 8. Nothing shall separate me from the love of God.
And so he is brought before three judges and this was the strangest case in history because the prisoner was not on trail. It was the judges that were on trial.

The first judge that Paul stood before was Felix.
I. HE IS KNOWN AS THE PROCRASTINATOR
Now let's look at Felix. What a sad character. His past is bad, his present is compromised, and indecision in his future is tragic.
History does not speak well of the man called Felix. He had been capture as ...
