This message is a reminder to be patient, love and forbear one another as we come back to church. How should we perceive one another? How should we treat one another? And how do we appropriately invest in our kids?

As we actively keep the Word of God, it will actively keep us: leading us, guarding us, and speaking to us. If we allow it to show and correct our way, it can protect us from the sin of adultery and its terrible consequences.

In this chapter, Paul’s response to the difficulties of his voyage show us a pattern for how to respond to our physical circumstances with a spiritual perspective. We must trust the Lord for a way to glorify him in any situation and find the purpose for his Providence.

This is a short description of what the sermon is about. It should be no longer than two or three sentences.

Paul understood that his imprisonment was an opportunity for the gospel to go forth. When we know that God allows our trials and our circumstances for our good and for His Glory, we can glorify him in any distress! As preachers of the gospel, we must retain the right motives to glorify God; we must align our hearts with the love and good will of Christ.
