Sacred Sunday~Acts Chapter 28/The ship crashes but all is well...

Welcome Church! We are here every Sunday to read the Bible, tell personal stories and pray together because when two or more are gathered.....In a non-judgemental down to earth format. God bless you every one! In our last chapter St. Paul and St. Luke set sail for Malta. It has been an extraordinary journey. Next week we begin anew in Romans where the story continues.

Paul In Malta

• Turns out they shipwrecked on Malta. Luckily, all the native people are really nice to them and welcome everyone.
• The first night, Paul and company are sitting around a fire with some of the folks from Malta when a viper jumps out and bites Paul's hand. Freaky. Looks like Paul is dead now for sure. That is a poisonous viper.
• But you know Paul. He just shakes the viper off into the fire. No biggie. The Maltese are amazed that he hasn't dropped dead yet.
• A while later, Paul heals a man who's sick with dysentery. After the Maltese people see this, they flock to Paul to get all kinds of cures.
• Three months later, when they get a new ship to sail on, the Maltese give Paul and his friends some food and supplies for the journey.
• Maltese people are good people.
•  Paul and company finally arrive in Rome.
• The Roman Christians come out to greet Paul and, even though he's still a prisoner, Paul is allowed to live by himself there.
• Three days after arriving in Rome, Paul decides to meet with the Jewish leaders in town and tell his story. He says he's been wrongly accused by their fellow Jews and sent to Rome to stand trail.
• Now the message has to go to the Gentiles. They're the ones who are gonna listen. Snap.
• Paul lives in Rome for two more years and continues to preach and teach about Jesus. No one can stop him.
