Enduring the Abuse of Power

Acts 25 gives us a picture of Paul on the receiving end of an abuse of power and injustice. Paul is able to use his Roman citizenship to not only pursue justice and a fair trial, but to fulfill God’s plan of having him testify about the heavenly king of kings before Caesar, the earthly king of kings. This message explores the nature of power and how power without godliness leads to corruption. Followers of Jesus will be encouraged with application for how to live under ungodly abuses of power, as well as challenged to consider how they use the power and authority God has given them.
