The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of Acts. Festus brings King Agrippa up to speed on Paul's situation (25:13-22) before convening a kind of tribunal with the leading men of the city (25:23-27). Paul then gives his testimony, both of his pre-conversion life (26:1-11) and of his meeting Jesus on the road to Damascus (26:12-18).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Genesis 32, in which Jacob wrestles with God. Like Jacob, we sinners have been wrestling around, trying to earn a blessing, for our whole lives. The true blessing, Jesus Christ, is only God's to give, and he gives freely.
The Rev. Jacob Davis continues his class on the psalms with a look at the penitential psalms: those songs in which we confess our sins and throw ourselves on the mercy and grace of our Lord.

The Rev. Nick Lannon continues his study of Acts. Paul continues to defend himself before Felix (24:17-23) before preaching the Gospel to the governor and his wife (24:24-27). Then a new governor is appointed, Festus, and Paul has to defend himself again (25:1-9). Finally, out of other options, Paul appeals to Caesar himself (25:10-12).
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Jeremiah 29, in which God tells his exiled people to be a blessing to Babylon. We are to love our neighbors, praying for them and evangelizing them, so that they might come to know the grace of Christ as we do.
