Good Evening Talk on May 21, 2024 - "Nobody said it was going to be easy"

A good evening with beautiful full moon talk. We are in Acts 21 and the Apostle Paul is about to be beaten and arrested! What happened? What did he do? What are the accusations? Did he fight back? Did someone rescue him? We will talk about this tonight and you'll get a chance to meet sweety the cat also.

When he reached the stairs, he had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob. For the multitude of the people followed after, crying out, "Away with him!" Then as Paul was about to be led into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I speak to you?" He replied, "Can you speak Greek? Are you not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a rebellion and led the four thousand assassins out into the wilderness?" But Paul said, "I am a Jew from Tarsus, in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city; and I implore you, permit me to speak to the people."
