"Only God Can Judge Me" On this episode, we discuss a fan favorite! Haha nossir, but definitely a phrase used often.

Today we go to the scriptures to see what the Bible has to say about judgement, and whether or not we should cast judgement on each other. Music Used In This Episode: ...

Paul makes it to Rome, and spends two years in his own rented place, preaching Jesus and encouraging all who would come to him. I hope you all have enjoyed the book of Acts, the establishing of the Christian Church, and all of the wonderful characters we learned about! Now let's keep what they've started, GOING! The gates of Hell won't prevail against it.
Paul is under the watch of Officer Julius , and on the way to see Caesar in Rome...they face some rocky waters! Paul is on a ship with 276 others, and they feared certain doom when a storm hits...but Paul, lead by the Holy Spirit is able to comfort them and affirm that no lives would be lost. Jesus was making sure Paul would make his appeal before Caesar. Even the hairs of your head are numbered.
Paul makes his case before King Agrippa, sharing the story of his life as a Pharisee, to his encounter with Jesus, to the message he preached to them that day. King Agrippa is almost persuaded to become Christian.... Then he and the other Roman authorities found no fault in him, but noted that Paul still desires to appeal before Caesar. When in Rome :D
Governor Festus does not see any guilt in Paul, and will not hand Paul over to the Jews to take back to Jerusalem to be dealt with. Paul wants to see Caesar, but first Festus needs to have a case to make against Paul before approaching The Emperor.
Paul is brought before Governor Felix to plea his case. The Jewish religious leaders are still hailing accusations about him, but Paul defends himself with the fact that those who actually saw him in action, were not present. He makes the case that these accusers cannot prove what they are saying about Paul. Paul proceeds to share his message and testimony. Governor Felix is intrigued and meets with Paul multiple times moving forward, but ultimately does not release Paul, before being replaced b...
Paul causes a huge argument and fight between the Saducees and Pharisees, dividing the Jewish religious leaders against each other. They did not agree on what to think of Paul, or how to judge him. Thankful , the Roman Commander removed Paul from the situation safely. Later, Jesus visits Paul, and tells him to Be Brave...eluding the fact Paul will face more persecution , but that he should not worry because God is with him.
Paul delivers his speed to the Jews, defends his cause and shares his testimony on his encounter with Jesus . The Jews weren’t having it though !
Paul faces the trouble and the chains that the Holy Spirit told him he would face. Then after being persecuted by the crowd and beaten and bound with chains, he requests to speak publicly to the crowd. His request is granted....and in chapter 22 we shall see what he says. Don't worry about what you will...
God raises a boy from death, after he falls 3 stories to the ground. Paul continues to travel, preaching teaching and encouraging folks. He speaks to the believers from Ephesus, and in this text we see examples and similarities to his Epistles from the New Testament. Be ready, in season and out of season...
Paul stirs up the people of Ephesus, the masses become confused. They use to worship the goddess Artemis...but now the people are being divided. Many are beginning to follow.....the Way. "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life"
Paul meets Aquilla and Priscilla, fellow believers, and spends time working and fellowshipping with them. Paul continues to visit the synagogue on the Sabbath to reason with folks and try to convince them that Jesus is the Messiah, even after being persecuted and thrown out, he just shakes the dust off of this feet and goes to the next city to continue spreading the message. If we don't preach, the very rocks will cry out His name!
Paul continues to get backlash from his preaching of the Gospel, but nothing stops him. No matter where he finds himself, he boldly proclaims the Good News...and the number of believers is added to. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall added unto you.
Despite a severe beating and imprisonent, Paul continues to pray, praise, and preach the Gospel message. And again..the number of believers is added to daily. Rejoice in the Lord, always!
Paul and Barnabas go their separate ways, the but the work of the Gospel message continues...as does the growth of the body of Christ. Let us not grow weary in well doing....for in dues season we shall reap....if we faint not.
Paul and Barnabas are stoned, by other Jews who do not want them spreading the Gospel message. They are ran out of cities....but, they simply relocate and continue to preach the Good News. Be ready, in season and out of season...
Saul becomes Paul. Him and Barnabas continue to spread the Gospel. Some believe, some do not...but they don't stop. Shake the dust of your feet...
Brother James is sentenced to death by the sword, by King Herod. This please the Jews, the Jews who were not followers of Christ, so Herod arrested Peter next...but an Angel of the Lord free Him from the prison. While we yet live, there's work to be done in the Kingdom.
Peter, Barnabas and Saul, a few great leaders of the early Church are actively preaching Christ, and instructing people in the Way of the Truth. Their has been some confusion, so these men clarify. God can and will save anyone..not just the Jews. Repent, all of you, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
