            • I Will Not Fear Wolves.

              Review / Introduction:



              Matthew 10:16-18 - "Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles..."

              3. Be wise! Strike Deliberately. (Acts 23:6-10)

              4. Be innocent! Trust Fearlessly. (Acts 23:11)
