Acts 27
Acts Video - Well there you have it - the book of Acts in 3 min. After 12 weeks in the book of Acts, I hope you've begun to discover and appreciate that the Christian life will always and only be a life in alignment/in sync w/ the H.S. Contrary to cultural/religious opinion, the Christian life isn't based on the ingenuity, ability, and effort of our capable flesh, but is a life lived under the influence/directed by the H.S. It isn't what we can do in our humanity that pleases God, but what God can do in/thru us when we live submitted to him that puts a smile on God's face.
As we close our series today, we're going to discover from Paul what it looks like when believers walk in the Spirit. Lest we forget, Acts is a record of the unleashing of the H.S. upon the world, the church, and in the lives of every believer. Throughout this account, we've seen God at work in a powerful way to explode the Gospel into the world. Yet it's vital to remember that Jesus didn't become a man to die on the cross to atone for sin so we could just see it - He came so we might experience it. Neither did He enter into our lives in the person of the H.S. to make us feel good about ourselves and our eternity; He came to fill/indwell us to empower us to live each day on mission for Him.
In Acts 27, Paul showed us H.S. living in action thru the most challenging of circumstances. Truth is one of the best ways to validate one's faith to prove it is authentic is through trials/storms. The book of James tells us to - Consider it joy when you encounter trials of many kinds b/c you the testing of your faith produces endurance. That is, the testing of your faith authenticates that your life is in proper alignment under the influence of the H.S.
In Acts 27, after a series of arrests and trials in Jerusalem and Caesarea by the Sea, Paul is being transported to Rome to be granted an audience w/ Caesar.
