Understanding Your Moment S5e147 Acts25:19

Everybody, whether you are a king of the world, or just the king of yourself, hears about Jesus amidst real life.  There will be friends, enemies, politics, appetites, power, and problems.  Today we see how a guy investigates the claims of Christ.  Here are some tips, if today finds YOU trying to Understand your MOMENT of exposure:

1. Don't delay. You have been given today for a reason.
2. Pursue your investigation; scrutinize the situation.  God can take it.
3. Interrogate your witnesses.  This likely will be the people of God.
4. Infiltrate their activities.  Check out their churches, their classes and their service.
5. Become a student of their written record.  Understanding their history gives language, context and understanding of the moment of today.  Understanding the past helps understand your moment.
6. Use your power for good.  You may not be king of a kingdom.  But you are the King of YOUR kingdom; Queen of the realm of yourself.  You have agency.
7. Don't be surprised that there are real-life complexities that come to bear on this quest.  It has always been so.
