Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.25 As Paul discoursed on righteousness, self-control, and the judgement to come, Felix was afraid and said, "That's enough for now!" You may leave when I find it convenient, I will send for you.
Rather than face his fears, Felix sends Paul away as if that was going to remove his real fear!
So often we build a wall of protection rather than deal with the source of the problem.
v.27 When two years had passed...he left Paul in prison.
God seems to have a bad habit of leaving his best people in prisons (eg Joseph). But maybe they became God's best people through the process of spending time in prison.
Nothing is wasted in God. God is able to use his people and grow his people wherever they are.
