2.1.26

The Foundation of the Church:
"Built on Heavenly Hope"
Acts 27
  1. Acts 27 is full of hardship, trouble, and loss. Read 2 Corinthians 11:21-29 and 12:9-10. What does God teach us through suffering?
  2. What false hopes do the sailors turn to? [See verses 11 and 27-32]. What false hopes do we often turn to?
  3. What is the source of hope in Acts 27:21-26? Where should we look for hope during our trials?
  4. What assurances has God given us of our heavenly hope?
  5. Revelation 21:1 says that in the new creation “the sea was no more.” Based on what we’ve learned in Acts 27, what do you think this means? How does this shape our hope? [Hint: Remember that throughout the Bible “the sea” represents chaos, trouble, and judgment.]
