1. All men should repent and turn to God (19-23)

Paul continued his testimony to King Agrippa: 'I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision.' He preached to Jew and Gentile that men should repent and turn to God. This is why the Jews tried to kill him. They did not want to repent; they did not like Gentiles. Paul discovered that the Bible taught that Christ must suffer and rise from death, and that this gospel must be proclaimed to everyone, including the Gentiles. Paul was not disobedient to the vision God had given him.

2. Except for these chains (24-32)

Festus, who was listening, became uncomfortable when Paul talked about repenting, but Paul knew that to repent and be forgiven through Jesus was God's best blessing--better than being a king. He had a compassionate heart for the poor king who was enslaved by sin. King Agrippa did not repent, but he was moved. He knew that Paul was innocent of any crime--and he knew that he was a sinner.

Application: Lord, help me to see all people as sinners in need of Jesus--just like me. Help me to be obedient to the heavenly vision.
One Word: Be obedient to share Jesus with everyone
