Read Acts 26

Key Verse: Acts 26:20 “I…declared first to those in Damascus and in Jerusalem, and throughout all the region of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance.” I think most of us have done it.

Read Acts 17 & 18

Key Verse: Acts 18:28 “For he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ.” Paul’s second missionary journey begins in Acts 15:36 and his third in 18:23.
