Faith in Persecution
Overview: Psalm 58-60, Acts 24
These Psalms help the community to worship God, even when facing injustice and threats. David asks God for deliverance, instructing the people how to pray when they must fight.
Paul appears before the Roman governor, Felix, to answer the accusations made against him by the Jewish leaders. Felix dismisses the court, but holds Paul in custody to discuss "the Way."
