Point: Paul was giving either good advice, or a word of knowledge.
Either way they did not listen.
The majority is rarely right
PICTURE
Point: They were trying to make a bad idea work
Point: There are consequences to our decisions, especially when we are being advised well and we choose otherwise.
But someone might say “Well God is sovereign, so what happened is God’s will”
We know it was not God’s will…Paul stated God’s attempt to avert disaster.
You may be very well living the consequences of a wrong move, deliberate sin, or someone else’s decisions that you are associated with
Paul’s journey is all about what God does with our mistakes
Point: “An angel of the God to whom I belong and I serve”
Notice the personal nature of Paul’s understanding of his position with God.
It was not just about just serving God......Paul was God’s possession.
My daughter - My son - my wife
God looks at you and says…That’s my child.
You are someone God had purchased at a very high price
Paul was scared....the angel told us he was when he said “ Don’t be afraid”
Paul prayed for the people on that boat and God listened
God’s Purpose
Point: The angel says “Acts 27:24 (NIV)
24 Paul.
You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’
Point: This to me is the take away from this event
There was a purpose for Paul being on that boat
God said he was going to testify before Caesar ....and nothing was going to stop that.
Why this storm came?
Who knows…what we do know is God’s purpose was not going to be stopped because of it.
Point: Your life has a purpose also
God intervened to make sure his purpose for Paul was completed
He will also intervene into the storms that seem to be trying to stop your purpose from being fulfilled.
My word from God during an anxiety attack last week “ Your life has a purpose”
Point: Jonah - The power of Purpose
God had a purpose for Jonah....but Jonah flatly said NO!
Again, a storm came and changed Jonah’s rebellion into surrender
God’s purposes were not stopped- delayed?
Yes…stopped....no
Paul’s healing
Paul is bitten by a snake-does not die
Heals Publius’s father and ALL the sick on the island
Point: Joseph’s story....explain Joseph a bit
