Sermon Title – Iron Chef vs. Chili Cook-Off Scripture – Acts 22:1-3, 27-28 (NIV) “Brothers and fathers, listen now to my defense.” When they heard him speak to them in Aramaic, they became very quiet. Then Paul said: “I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city. I studied under Gamaliel and was thoroughly trained in the law of our ancestors. I was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.” The commander went to Paul and asked, “Tell me, are you a Roman citizen?” “Yes, I am,” he answered. Then the commander said, “I had to pay a lot of money for my citizenship.” “But I was born a citizen,” Paul replied. 1 Corinthians 7:8 (NIV) Now to the unmarried and the widows I say: It is good for them to stay unmarried, as I do. Acts 18:3 (NIV) And because he was a tentmaker as they were, he stayed and worked with them.
