Pastor Allen concludes our Acts series by looking at Paul's example of boldness in sharing his faith even while a prisoner.

While Paul and his shipmates dealt with hurricane force winds, we can learn how to deal with the storms of life. We all deal with them, but it's how we deal with them that matters.

Paul's life was marked by transformation. Jesus tells Paul in verse 18 that he will be sent to help transform the lives of others through the Gospel. Pastor Allen talks about what a transformed life looks like.

In Paul's appeal to Caesar, he make a huge step of obedience. He leans into the calling Jesus gave him in Acts 23:11. Pastor Allen gives a picture of what an obedient Christian looks like.

When Paul is at one of his lowest moments, the risen Jesus stands near Paul. What can we learn about how God is always near to us?

Paul is arrested and speaks to the crowd of Jews. He retells his conversion experience from Acts 9, and tells the crowd his mission to preach the Gospel to Gentiles. On hearing this, the crowd wants Paul dead. They forget the mission. Pastor Allen reminds us to keep our eyes on the mission and expect lives to be changed!

We see in Acts 21 that Paul was ready to be bound and/or to die for serving Christ. Pastor Allen shows us how following Christ requires us to die to ourselves in order to live for Jesus.
