“The Chosen Vessel”, Prairie Bible Message, Nov. 14, 2021Acts 27 This chapter may be the most famous and detailed shipwreck in ancient history. In Acts 27, men choose a vessel (the ship) for their purposes, and God chooses a vessel (Paul) for His purposes. Only one of these vessels will make it to Rome. As followers of Jesus Christ, we are also vessels chosen by God for His purposes (1 Peter 2:9). We may not be Paul, but we have much to learn from God’s pattern for Paul’s life and ministry.Acts 9:10-162 Cor 11:24-28Take Home Message The world’s power is found in strength, but Christ’s power is found in weakness.2 Cor 12:7-9 Jesus takes his chosen vessels from...Hubris to Humility (1-20). 2 Cor 1:8-10Captive to Captain (21-26). -M.R.
