I can remember when we were studying the book of Hebrews in the evenings, and how deep and penetrating and sometimes very difficult the book of Hebrews was. There is so much doctrine, so much deep theology, and other books are very much the opposite. They are very much historical narratives, and Acts is one of those. The Gospels have an amazing way of being doctrinal and historical in a beautiful combination.\r\n\r\n", "code2": "", "category2": "", "seoFriendlyName2": "", "fileName": "1791.mp3", "youTubeCode": "" }, { "id": "013e773f-06c5-4d8d-b276-ad0b0f70b520", "name": "Paul's Trial Before Felix, Part 2: Paul's Defense Begun", "subtitle": "", "code": "1792", "speaker": null, "studyGuideCode": "", "category": "sermons-library", "categoryDisplay": "Sermons", "itemDate": "1974-10-27T00:00:00", "dateDisplay": "Oct 27, 1974", "scripture": "Acts 24:10\u201316", "displayOrder": 1792, "seoFriendlyName": "pauls-trial-before-felix-part-2-pauls-defense-begun", "description": "", "shortDescription": "This is part two in the tragedy of postponing, and it comes from Acts 24. It's really the story of Felix; it starts out as the trial of Paul before Felix, and it ends up as the trial of Felix before Paul. In Acts 24, we have a very graphic illustration of the tragedy of postponing a decision about Christ. In Acts 24:24, we read these words, \"And after certain days, when Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he sent for Paul, and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. And as he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and answered, 'Go thy way for this time; when I have a convenient season, I will call for thee.'\"\r\n\r\n", "code2": "", "category2": "", "seoFriendlyName2": "", "fileName": "1792.mp3", "youTubeCode": "" }, { "id": "015f2566-bace-4332-af30-f2b14bd78ebf", "name": "Paul's Trial Before Felix, Part 3: The Tragedy of Postponing Salvation", "subtitle": "", "code": "1793", "speaker": null, "studyGuideCode": "", "category": "sermons-library", "categoryDisplay": "Sermons", "itemDate": "1974-11-03T00:00:00", "dateDisplay": "Nov 3, 1974", "scripture": "Acts 24:17\u201327", "displayOrder": 1793, "seoFriendlyName": "pauls-trial-before-felix-part-3-the-tragedy-of-postponing-salvation", "description": "", "shortDescription": "This morning, as we come to our study, it is our joy to again look at Acts 24.
