Hope abandoned; courage found | Acts 27:13-26
Paul identifies God as, “the God to whom I belong and whom I serve”. Is that our description of God, our Lord for you? Do we belong to Him?
Decision time | Acts 27:1-12

Do Paul in | Acts 25:1-9 NLT
Are we prepared to face accusations for being a Christian? Would there be enough evidence? Paul rightly defend himself…yet shared the truth at the same time.
