Week 10: Equipped to Defend the Faith: Paul's Trials

Feb 8, 2026    Matthew Allen

From his arrest in Jerusalem to his final hearing before King Agrippa, Paul faced rulers, soldiers, and councils—defending both his faith and his mission. Throughout every trial, he remained calm, courageous, and confident in the gospel. Instead of viewing his imprisonment as a setback, Paul saw it as a platform to share Christ with influential audiences. This lesson illustrates how God equips His servants to stand firm under pressure, give a reason for their hope, and turn opposition into opportunity. Paul’s example shows believers that our faith is most convincing when it is lived and spoken with integrity, boldness, and grace.
