Daily Dose of Hope December 30, 2025 Scripture – Acts 27 Prayer: Holy God, We come before you today rejoicing in your powerful name. Thank you for who you are and all you do. Thank you for loving us. Help us gather our scattered thoughts, help us set aside distractions, and truly focus on you right now. In these next few moments of silence, Lord, we want to hear your voice...In Your Name, Amen. Welcome to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church daily Bible reading. We have been on an incredible journey of reading through the Gospels and Acts. Today, we are walking through Acts 27. Paul's journey continues. This time, he is on his way to Rome. They hit very severe weather, which threatens to kill all those on board. It must have been quite dire, as they throw their cargo overboard to lighten up the ship. It sounds like weeks and weeks of hunger and misery. They finally see land. By this point, there isn't much left of the ship. The soldiers want to kill the prisoners but the centurion stops them, as he wanted to ensure that Paul was spared. It seems that the situation was a bit of a free for all; those who could swim, swam to shore. Others grabbed pieces of floating debris and yet all managed to get to shore safely. This is such an interesting passage to me. The Scripture says there were 276 men on board that ship. They must have all been praying in whatever way they were accustomed to do so. I can't help but think that Paul was praying boldly and witnessing to all the men on board. In such a situation, it seems highly likely people would be very open to hearing about the eternal life offered through faith in Jesus. I wonder if that is why the centurion was so intent on saving Paul's life. Had he become a follower of Jesus? Throughout the book of Acts, we see people boldly witnessing for Jesus. First, Peter and John and then Paul. Their focus on Jesus is so central to all they do that nothing else matters. What about you? While we live in a different time and place, we still have lots of people around us who need to hear about Jesus. How bold are you? Is Jesus central to everything you do? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

We all face storms — some caused by others, some allowed by God, and some that we steer into ourselves. Acts 27 shows what happens when we ignore God's counsel and choose our own way… and the incredible faithfulness of God even in the middle of the chaos we created. His mercy meets us in the mess, His presence steadies us in the waves, and His grace leads us home when we finally choose to trust Him. Thank you for listening to the Truth for Today Podcast!

Join us this week as we continue our series in Acts! In his sermon “Eternal Confidence” centered on Acts 27:1-28:10, Pastor Alex shows us through Paul's tumultuous journey to Rome how God sovereignly reigns over every trial and in every storm we face in life. Just as we observe from the Apostle Paul, the best way to endure trials in our own life is to trust in God and place our hope in Him.
Acts 27-28; Romans 1
This is the message from our weekend services on 11/23/2025 with Chet Lowe.
Ever feel like you were headed one way and life blew you somewhere else? In Acts 27–28, Paul is promised Rome, then runs into hurricane winds, a shipwreck, and a snakebite. Yet God keeps His word in the middle of the storm. Jesus had already said Paul would testify in Rome, and even as the waves rise an angel reaffirms the promise. Our call is to trust what God has said more than what we can see and to obey Him while the seas are still rough.    When the ship breaks, everyone reaches shore safely and a “detour” named Malta becomes a three-month ministry assignment. By the end, Paul is in Rome preaching “without hindrance.” The route changed; the promise held; the mission advanced.     Here’s a couple key takeaways • When your plans break, hold to God’s promises. He keeps His word even in the storm.   • Detours are often assignments. Serve where you land and watch God work • Chains cannot chain the gospel. The mission continues “without hindrance.” SUBSCRIBE for weekly sermons, stories, and other resources: https://www.youtube.com/@GracePointNWA?sub_confirmation=1 ============================= Connect with Grace Point Church: ============================= Instagram: https://instagram.com/gracepointnwa Facebook: https://facebook.com/gracepointnwa Website: https://gracepointchurch.net #Sermon #GracePointChurch #NorthwestArkansas
Sometimes when you head out on an adventure, you never really know what is going to happen. Paul is going on a sea adventure-to Rome. It's a great story filled with a lot of instructions for us.
THE STORM IS HISTORICAL, PHYSICAL, AND SPIRITUAL: The book of Acts begins & ends with “mighty winds”. The spread of the gospel begins with God's presence like a “mighty wind”. The threat to stop the spread of the gospel comes in a storm of mighty winds. United to Christ, storms should be expected – but […]

Ezra 7 tells of the personal qualities of Ezra the priest - verse 6 skilled in the Law of Moses that Yahweh had given Israel; verses 9-10 Ezra had set his heart to study God's Law and therefore the good hand of God was upon him (what a lesson to us); and Ezra graciously thanked the Almighty for His loving kindness ('chesed') shown to His people Israel (verse 27). The chapter tells of king Darius' generosity and material support for the work of building the temple; and the king's command to the Governors on the east of Jordan to materially support the project. King Darius warns of the serious consequences which would come to any who would not support the building.Hosea 8 tells that because Israel had failed to obey God's laws they would experience great punishment - "they had sown the wind, they would reap the whirlwind" - the teaching of the Bible is that whatever we do produces consequences and that we are responsible for our actions (read aloud Galatians 6verses7-10 pause and ponder). The idolatry of Israel would incur God's judging them by using another idolatrous nation. Rather than turning to God for help Israel hires foreign armies. This causes them greater problems. For the kingdom of Israel in the north the time of destruction was upon them.Acts 27 tells of Paul's journey to Rome for his case to be heard by the Emperor Nero. The ship sets sail in fine weather with only Luke accompanying the Apostle Paul on his voyage. The ship soon finds sailing difficult because of the opposing winds. When the ship reaches Crete it has now become too dangerous for sailing; and Paul advises that they should stay in Crete until the winter passes. But the owner of the ship was determined to reach Rome as quickly as possible to receive his profit. The Roman Centurion decides to accept the ship owners' position and to continue on their journey. The ship is now beset with a hurricane-like wind called Euroclydon. The crew takes many measures to try to save the ship and its precious cargo. Nothing works and their lives are entirely at the mercy of this horrible storm. All on board the ship become depressed and for fourteen days eat nothing. Then Paul, after receiving a vision from an angel of God, takes control and encourages everyone. The Apostle gives thanks to God and they all eat. After that the ship is lightened by throwing overboard the wheat from the hold. There are 276 people on the ship. Some of the sailors pretend to let down anchors under the ship, but their intentions are to flee in the lifeboats. Paul says to the Roman Centurion (Julius) that unless the sailors stay on the ship all lives are in danger. Julius stops the sailors from escaping. When daylight comes the crew run the ship into a creek which sees the rough sea smash the ship to pieces. All escape safely to shore - some swimming and others being carried by the current on planks of wood from the broken ship. Acts 27verses31 makes the nice point that unless we abide or remain in the Christ ship we cannot be savedverses compare John 15 our fruitfulness and salvation is dependent on us abiding in the Vine of God - His precious Son our Lord Jesus Christ.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

What do you hold onto when hope feels out of reach? In today's message, Pastor Mark reflects on Paul's story, where even strong believers like Luke lost hope in a storm. Even the greatest men and women of faith have faced doubt. David himself pleaded, Lord, remember I'm only dust. God knows your weaknesses and hears you in your struggle. There's no shame in faltering; it's about turning back to Him. God can meet you in your doubt, strengthening your faith when you cry, “Help my unbelief.” You might be small, but you're still seen by Him. How do you turn to God when doubt creeps in?
Life can feel like a storm, scattering pieces of your world like a shipwreck. Today, Pastor Mark speaks to those feeling broken or tempted toward dangerous waters. If your life's in pieces, there's hope to rebuild through prayer. If the enemy's luring you, now's the time to turn back. Temptation always leads to storms. God can guide you to safer shores, away from destruction. Don't let the pull of excitement steer you wrong. His strength helps you reset your course. Believers fall when they ignore the warning; turn back to Him. What steps can you take to help steer clear of temptation's dangerous and often enticing pull?
