Be Comforted
Acts 27.1-26 A relentless and violent storm brewed up on the Mediterranean Sea causing even the most seasoned of sailors to lose hope. Yet in the midst of the storm there was one who stood undaunted in faith as he trusted God to keep His promise “as you have testified of Me in Jerusalem so you will testify of Me in Rome.” The storms could not shake the faith of Paul. Desperate men despair, faithful men fear not. How are you handling life’s storms? Do you have fear or faith?

Be Concerned
Acts 25.1-26.32 With the lingering reminder of the acts of violence and war brought to these shores on 9/11 that occurred 10 years ago, what is our response? From the lessons and life of Paul we need to be concerned. We need to be concerned enough about the brevity of life to share the gospel with those around us just as Paul did in this section of Scripture.
Acts 24.17-27 – Paul’s example once again challenges us to be clear in how we live and in how we witness so that others can hear with clarity the message of Christ. Paul provides opportunity for Felix to hear and respond to the central message of Christianity – the resurrection of Christ who is the believer’s hope.
