11/9/2012 Sunday School Lesson "Weathering The Storm." Acts 27:1-2, 33-44.
Devotional Reading from my sunday school book - "A Fierce Storm Dashes Hope." Acts 27:13-20.
Acts 27:1-2 .. "The Preparation before the Storm"
Julius - centurion was in charge of the prisoners.
Aristarchus - probably a business man and along with Luke, paid his own fare/fee.
Paul was a prisoner but didn't travel alone.
Acts 27:33-38 .. "The Promise in the Storm"
275 men were fearful, and it took one man of faith to turn them around. Question: How realistic is it for a few Christians to calm a large number of non-Christians in a time of crisis?
Acts 27:39-44 "The Preservation in the Storm"
Everyone reached land safe.
When we are faithful to God and His Word, miraculous things happen.
