Acts 27

\\xa0This chapter may be the most famous and detailed shipwreck in ancient history. In Acts 27, men choose a vessel (the ship) for their purposes, and God chooses a vessel (Paul) for His purposes. Only one of these vessels will make it to Rome. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are also vessels chosen by God for His purposes (1 Peter 2:9). We may not be Paul, but we have much to learn from God\\u2019s pattern for Paul\\u2019s life and ministry.

  • Acts 9:10-16
  • 2 Cor 11:24-28
