Acts 28:1

Working through Paul's shipwreck arrival on Malta and the snake bite that follows (Acts 28:1-10), Pastor Miles draws seven marks of godly leadership: godly leaders serve, get bitten by snakes, have their motives questioned, press on through opposition, experience God's empowering, go through open doors, and are ultimately vindicated by God. He also notes the surpassing miracle that all 276 men survived and the unusual kindness of the Maltese natives.
