Title: John Mark; The Deserter who Returned Speaker: Rev. Peter McIntyre Series: Bible Characters Date: 24 August 2025 Bible: Acts 15:36-40 The sermon explores the life of John Mark, a figure who experienced both failure and redemption, ultimately becoming a significant contributor to the early church. Examining passages from Acts and 1 & 2 Timothy, the message highlights Mark's initial abandonment of Paul and Barnabas, his subsequent reconciliation, and his eventual recognition as a valuable asset, culminating in his authorship of the Gospel of Mark. The sermon emphasizes the importance of second chances, the power of grace, and the call to embrace opportunities to serve God, even amidst past failings, drawing parallels to the dedication of those who attempted to rescue sailors from a shipwreck and illustrating the ongoing need to extend a lifeline of the Gospel to others.

Life's storms aren't just bad weather, they're moments that test our faith, challenge our peace, and make us wonder why a good God would allow suffering at all. In this message, Trevor dives into one of the most dramatic storm stories in the Bible (Acts 27), where Paul finds himself shipwrecked, but not abandoned. You'll see how God's presence, the unseen spiritual realm, and a single word from Him can change everything. Whether you're barely holding on or clinging to just a piece of hope.We'll talk about angels in the night, why suffering still happens, and how to hold fast to God's promises when nothing makes sense. If you've ever asked, “Where is God in all this?”— this will speak right to your heart.
