Episode 1002: Keep On

April 16, 2025 • Gene Appel

We are reviewing the latter part of the apostle Paul’s life.

After he is arrested in Jerusalem, one of the governors holds him at a place along the Mediterranean known as Caesarea by the sea. Paul ends up being held there for 2 years. This is where he gives his last lecture.

First, Paul says to keep on. Don't quit. Keep enduring. No matter how difficult circumstances get, with Jesus’ help, we can keep on.
