Arrested...

Each Sunday we have been in the book of Acts looking at Paul's story in which the series is called Arrested. Just as Paul was arrested and all of his trials and tribulations he still pursued and pressed on. So my plan is for each Sunday to be a recap of the day. I hope that it blesses you as it has blessed and touched our heart.

Acts 24: 1-26

Lesson 1:
Don't let your religiousity overpower your servosity.
* You are here to serve not to push your religion. Serving leads to generosity.

Lesson 2:
You can't outrun your problems as they will always find you.
*Confront what the issue may be
*Face it, don't give it to someone else
*Say your sorry if you need to

Lesson 3:
You can always find someone to agree wsith you even if you are wrong.
*Don't live in flattery.
*People will see through you.
*Don't be a slick talker.

Lesson 4:
Its often easier to procrastinate making the right decision.
* God has a plan!!!
* Waiting doesn't make it easier so take the opportunity

Lesson 5:
Often people are brought into our lives by God so that we can add value to their lives.
*Give out hospitality
*Take advantage of what is given

Lesson 6:
What men mean for evil God uses for good.
* When Paul was away in prison (evil) he wrote letters, which were then used as the famous aspects of the Bible (good).

Lesson 7:
You can always find a reason to tell God to go away.
* Paul is called to go; he tells others about Christ. Some take it as fear and run away. "I'll call you when I want to talk." You need to be ready when He calls.
