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.19
But when the Jews objected, I was compelled to appeal to Caesar - not that I had any charge to bring against my own people.
Paul appeals to the secular authorities. There are times to accept injustice and times to appeal the justice system of the land. We need God's wisdom to know when to do which.
V.30-31 For two whole years Paul stayed there in his own rented house and welcomed all who came to see him. Boldly and without hindrance he preached the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Another "two whole years" plus the two years in 24:27. So since 21:13 it could well be 5 years since he left Macedonia. God is never in a hurry to complete his work and in the meantime Paul gets to preach without hindrance.
So we have finished the book of Acts. Hope you enjoyed the study. I will be taking a break over Christmas/New Year and be back early in January to look at another book. Hope you have a lovely Christmas and blessings in 2012.
