Acts 27 Part 2 - During the Storm
Pastor Wes Denham
In this sermon, Pastor Wes teaches from Acts 27, focusing on Paul’s experience as a prisoner aboard a storm-tossed ship en route to Rome. Despite being in chains, Paul exudes calm and confidence, assured by an angelic visitation that all aboard will be saved. Pastor Wes draws out the application that believers must learn to trust God deeply during life’s trials.
He reminds the congregation that God is always present, and angels are often sent to protect, provide, and guide. Referencing the demonic influence in modern culture, Pastor Wes contrasts fear and chaos with the peace that comes from knowing God is in control. He explains how spiritual maturity is refined through trials, which build endurance, character, and hope. Paul’s visible faith during the storm becomes a testimony that encourages all aboard the ship.
Pastor Wes calls believers to stand firm, be bold in sharing their faith, and remember that God’s love and power are at work, even in life’s darkest hours. He closes by highlighting scriptures that promise God’s presence, protection, and deliverance.
Pastor Wes continues teaching through Acts 27, focusing on how believers should respond during life’s storms. He draws lessons from Paul’s shipwreck experience, emphasizing peace in chaos, the power of God’s promises, and the believer’s witness under pressure. Pastor Wes encourages the church to trust God’s plan, reject fear, and remain faithful no matter the storm.
