Acts 27-28:16

1. Have you ever been in a life threatening situation? How did you react? How might this passage instruct someone facing a trial or similar situation?

2. How does this narrative display the sovereign providence/control of God and the responsibility of humans?

3. Discuss this quote in its relation to the passage your current journey of faith: “Storms and shipwrecks can actually be for our benefit. Paul was mature in Christ but was still being shaped through trials. We are often objective-oriented, but God is process-oriented. We just want to get to Rome, but God is even more interested in how we get there.” - Kent Hughes

4. What is courage? How do we see this in today’s passage and Paul’s life?

5. Read Hebrews 4:14-16. The same greek word is used for “supports” in Acts 27:17 and “to help” in Hebrews 4:16. How does this paint a picture of God’s help for us?
