Today is Palm Sunday. The beginning of what is known as Holy Week. The Triumphal Entry of Jesus into Jerusalem is recorded in

Matthew 21:1-11; Mark 11:1-11; Luke 19:29-38; John 12:12-15. These passages are for personal study on your own during this Holy Week.

The Apostle Paul is facing several trials. Acts 23-before the Sanhedrin; Acts 24-before Felix (see why Paul was kept in prison Acts 24:26, 27); Acts 25-before Festus; and Acts 26-before Agrippa.

Paul gets converted and receives his ministry call in Acts 9 and recounts that experience in Acts 22 and Acts 26. Using the paradigm below learn how Paul shared his testimony and how it might assist you in yours.
