Off the cuff on Acts 26 - Steve

Vs 5-6: The Way has the same hope in the same promises made to Israel.
Vs 8: The resurrection is always central in New Testament preaching.
Vs 9-18: Also central - a recounting of Paul's conversion, and taking the Gospel message to the Gentiles.
Vs 29: "All who hear"... many noble bystanders must have heard this sermon (see 25:23). What an opportunity to magnify His Name!
Vs 31: Festus and Agrippa: we may not believe this, but it's not against the law.
Vs 32: Agrippa tactfully criticizes Festus for holding Paul in order to cater to the Jews.
