Acts 27:20
Well in your bulletin you'll find a little outline like this if you'd like to take it and follow on. Take your Bible and turn to Acts 27, Acts 27. Not all the scripture is in your bulletin today so you'll want to take your Bible today and turn to Acts 27.

He found himself to be in a crisis, on a ship headed for Rome and the ship found itself in a typhoon, in a literal storm sort of like ''The Perfect Storm.'' All of us remember the movie ''The Perfect Storm'' and this was a perfect storm. The ship was threatened. It was about to be torn apart.
So look at verse 20 and you'll get the idea of how severe this storm was, about how severe this crisis was. Maybe you can identify with this. Maybe you've been in such a storm. Maybe not literally, but at least you can ...
