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.11 If the charges brought against me by these Jews are not true, no one has the right to hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar!”
Later in Acts 26:32 it says that Paul could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar. However if he had been set free the Jews were planning to kill him.
Ultimately God's plans cannot be thwarted. God wanted Paul in Rome and so Paul ended up in Rome.
v.19 Instead, they had some points of dispute with him about their own religion and about a dead man named Jesus who Paul claimed was alive.
Our beliefs seem like nonsense to non-believers. They don't understand why some get so worked up about things that seem ridiculous to them. We need wisdom in dealing with those outside faith.
