This powerful exploration of Acts 28 invites us into the final chapter of Paul's dramatic journey to Rome, revealing profound truths about spirit-filled living in the midst of life's storms. We witness Paul surviving a shipwreck only to be bitten by a venomous viper while simply gathering sticks for a fire—a moment that encapsulates the unpredictability of faithful obedience. The central message challenges us to recognize that God's ways are higher than our ways, and that His ordained path may include storms, shipwrecks, and snake bites we never anticipated. Yet through it all, we discover we possess the ultimate anti-venom: the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. Paul's response to adversity—choosing to believe God's word and simply shaking off the snake—models a faith that doesn't wait for perfect circumstances before moving forward. The account reminds us that what appears as failure or handicap from the outside can become a platform for kingdom impact. Paul's two years under house arrest weren't wasted; they produced some of Scripture's most treasured letters. This challenges us to examine our own lives: Are we waiting for everything to be perfect before stepping into what God has called us to do? The message is clear—God is faithful to His word, and when He says something will happen, no storm, false accusation, or venomous bite can prevent it.

In this sermon we ask the question, why are there not famous last sermons? We have famous last albums from artists, but what makes sermons different is that whether it is your first or last, it ought to have Christ at the center.

Daily Dose of Hope December 31, 2025   Scripture – Acts 28   Prayer:  For our last prayer of this reading plan, let's end with a prayer of peace from St. Francis of Assisi... Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. 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 the last chapter of Acts, Acts 28.   After a few months on the island of Malta, during which Paul was bitten by a viper (with no bad repercussions) and healed many people, they finally are able to secure a new ship and continue the journey to Rome.  When they arrive, Paul is met by a group of believers. I love this. I picture a group waiting by the dock for the ship to come in, anxious to take care of Paul with warm hugs and casseroles!   But Paul doesn't waste much time, after just three days he begins to preach, teach, and discuss his views with the Jewish leaders in Rome. It appears they are more open to Paul's teachings than the Jews in other locations. For two years, Paul stays in Rome, in his own rented house, and welcomed all who came to see him. He taught about God's Kingdom and preached Jesus with boldness and without any obstacles.  It's possible he resumed his tent-making in order to support himself but his main focus was conversion.   Paul's intention was always to go to Rome. But just like in our own lives, stuff happened. Riots, jail time, and shipwrecks, all thwarted the best of intentions. Eventually, Paul did end up in Rome and had two years there to share the Gospel. Our life journeys, though probably not as eventful as Paul's, never go in a straight line. There are ups and downs, steps backward, pauses, and spins. But God can and will use each of those experiences to grow us and to help us speak into the lives of others. It's always about the journey, not the destination.   But what happened to Paul after this?  We have some evidence based on his other letters.  Certain letters, which Paul wrote while imprisoned in Rome, are especially helpful.  These include Ephesians, Colossians, Philemon, and Philippians, written between AD 60-62.  Titus, as well as 1 and 2 Timothy, were written after Acts and during Paul's travels, AD 66 and 68. We can estimate that Paul lived for about 5-6 more years after the book of Acts ends.    We can also estimate that Paul stood before Caesar (Emperor Nero) around AD 62.  Tradition tells us that he was eventually released from his imprisonment in Rome.  There is some consensus that Paul may have actually gone to Spain after his release, carrying the Gospel even further.  But he did eventually end up back in Rome and tradition says that Paul was actually beheaded there in AD 68.    Paul is considered the most effective Christian missionary who has ever lived.   He took the Gospel to places far and wide, at least as far as the known world at the time.  And he did so at great risk to himself.  He wasn't afraid of physical pain or discomfort.  He didn't care if everything was removed from him.  He had surrendered his life, fully and completely, to Jesus and sharing his message with the world.  As a result, he started many churches and the Gospel spread.    Today is the last Daily Dose of Hope for 2025.  I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback.  What did you learn?  How has God stretched you?  I do hope you will join us on our Journey through the Letters of Paul, which we will start on January 5th.  It's been an honor sharing this with you.    Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In Acts 28:11–16, Pastor Jared Proctor explores Paul's weary arrival in Rome and his longing for encouragement from fellow believers. Through Paul's example, we learn that even the hardships that feel like prisons can become places of spiritual formation when we seek the Lord within them. This sermon reminds us that every circumstance—praise or prison—can draw us deeper into God's presence.

This week we are concluding our series in the book of Acts as Pastor Alex preaches a sermon centered on Acts 28:11-31. In his sermon, Pastor Alex shows us how, like the Apostle Paul, we too must be faithful to proclaim the gospel to the world. Regardless of how others respond to our gospel call, we must remain steadfast, trusting God for the results.

Trust in God’s Word instead of your circumstances, encourage one another instead of being a burden, and hold fast to the unfailing promises of God, even when His plan for your life is hard to understand.

In this sermon from Acts 28:1–11, Pastor Jared explores how we respond when life does not go as planned. Shipwrecked on the island of Malta, Paul finds himself in an unexpected place with unexpected people, yet his response becomes a powerful model for us. Pastor Jared shows how Paul continued to serve faithfully, trust God's sovereign plan, care for those in need, and remain committed to the mission of Christ even in the midst of uncertainty. Through Paul's example, we are reminded that detours are not disruptions to God's purposes but opportunities for God to work through us in ways we never anticipated.

The Acts Of The Apostles: Acts 28:17-31 by Gospel Centered Mission Focused

The Christian should not desire public approval but God’s favor; should not grumble but live with gratitude; nor should they just shun unbelievers, but instead should seek to wisely use every opportunity afforded to them to point unbelievers to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Even in chains, in storms, and through shipwreck, Paul's story in Acts 28 reminds us that God's purpose cannot be stopped by life's problems. What looked like disaster—a storm, a snakebite, a shipwreck—became the very stage where God showed His power and opened hearts on the island of Malta.This message will inspire you to see that your detours are often divine appointments, and what the enemy meant for harm, God uses for healing and salvation. When life breaks your plans, God is still working His plan. The same Spirit that carried Paul through the storm is carrying you through yours.Main Scripture: Acts 28

Sharing faith can be like planting seeds in a garden you may never see bloom. In today's message, Pastor Mark reminds us that people coming to the Lord isn't a simple process. It could be years of prayers, conversations, and seeds planted by many. One plants, another waters, and someone else reaps the harvest.  When you share the gospel, you might plant a seed, water it, or see someone ready to receive the Lord. That's God's call, not yours. God can work through your efforts when they're guided by the Holy Spirit. Your job is to share and trust Him with the outcome. How do you stay faithful in planting seeds of faith?

The Acts Of The Apostles: Acts 28 1-16 by Gospel Centered Mission Focused

Understanding Jesus is like piecing together a mosaic; every part matters. Today, Pastor Mark emphasizes that the Old Testament reveals the fullness of Jesus in the New Testament. You need the whole Bible to be a whole Christian. Leaving out any part of Scripture is like leaving out part of Jesus Himself. Some might say they doubt portions of the Bible, but that's questioning Jesus, the living Word. Every page points to Him, shaping a complete faith. God can open your eyes to see Jesus across all Scripture, not just the parts with His physical body. Choosing the whole Bible means choosing all of Jesus.

What can grow from the ashes of a shattered life? In today's message, Pastor Mark shares how God turned an island's ruin from a volcanic explosion into beauty. Your life might feel like it's exploded, leaving nothing but destruction. But God can take those very ashes and transform them into something amazing. You may think there's no way for restoration. But the ruin you see isn't the end; it's where God's work can begin. Like a master artist, He reshapes brokenness into beauty beyond your imagination. Trusting Him turns despair into hope. Do you see God working through your life's ruins to create something new?
