14 Days Without Sun or Stars — The Shipwreck That Should Have Killed Them | Acts 27

Acts Chapter 27 records one of the most dramatic journeys in the entire New Testament. What begins as a routine voyage to Rome quickly turns into a desperate struggle for survival as a violent storm drives a ship helplessly across the Mediterranean Sea. For fourteen days the crew cannot see the sun or the stars. Fear spreads among the sailors, the soldiers, and the prisoners. Food runs out. Hope begins to fade.Listen to the Bible Chapter by Chapter podcast on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/6MnjQf5YAsxCAhha7jCSGDYet in the middle of the chaos, Paul speaks with calm authority. He reminds everyone on board that God has already spoken and that every life on the ship will be preserved. The storm may destroy the vessel, but it will not destroy the mission.Acts 27 shows us something powerful about faith in the middle of uncertainty. Leadership appears in unlikely places. A prisoner becomes the voice of hope.
