Jen Wilkin, JT English, and Kyle Worley continue discussing Acts. On this episode, Paul is in Felix’s custody, meets Festus and Agrippa, is sent to Rome, and ends up shipwrecked.

Questions Covered in This Episode:

• Festus meets with Paul and Paul appeals to Caesar (Acts 25:1-12). Why can Paul do this?

• Who is Agrippa to Festus? What’s the chain of command here?

• How does Paul’s defense begin?

• How does Agrippa respond?

• Then Paul is shipped to Rome, does this remind us of any other stories?

• What resources do you use to get an understanding of the things you are talking about?

Helpful Definitions:
