Acts 27
Peril on the Sea
Summary:
Have you ever been on a boat? They can be a lot of fun! But if you've ever been on a boat in a storm, it can be really scary! Today let's listen as Paul continues to follow God's call. As a prisoner he sails on a boat that gets caught in a huge storm! Let's listen in and see how God preserves Paul and keeps his promises:

Verse: Acts 27:25 So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.
Discussion Questions:
1. How would you compare this account to the account of Jonah when he flees to Tarshish? To Jesus calming the storm? What are the similarities and differences? Why is this helpful to compare these accounts?
2. How does Paul's confidence in God's will help you, even though you and I don't get specific words about the future?
3. If it was God's plan for Paul to preach in Rome, why might He have allowed this storm? What might that tell us about our own sufferings?
