MORE THAN A BUILDING, Sermon 58

January 7, 2024 • John Hunn • Acts 27

Was the ship keeping them alive or was it the Savior? “It will turn out exactly as God said it would” There is in Scripture a quality of character in the Roman military, specifically with Centurions. Roman politicians had questionable character but there is a different picture for Roman military officers. A Roman Legion is 600. A Roman Centurion is 100. (1) Jesus met with a Roman Centurion (Matthew 8:5-13) & then there was a Roman Centurion at His cross (Matthew 27:51-54) (2) Peter meets with a Roman Centurion ( Acts 10:1-2) (3) Paul meets with a Roman Centurion (Julius) in the Augustan Regiment here. Paul has complete trust in God and Julius has complete trust in Paul Two weeks under typhoon conditions traveling 476 plus miles. Many would say “It’s a miracle” but few would give glory to God. Would you? Will you? Paul cared about “all” in Acts 26 and in Acts 27! What is your “Storm Story”? What storm have you gone through? Or are you in the midst of a storm? Or do you wonder what storm will come next? Can we sing in the storms of life? We must sing. Psalm 34:4, I SOUGHT THE LORD AND HE HEARD AND HE ANSWERED (repeat 3x) THAT’S WHY I TRUST HIM, THAT’S WHY I TRUST HIM!
