Acts 28 - Your Journey
Pastor Wes Denham
Pastor Wes concludes a sermon series in Acts with chapter 28, where Paul reaches the island of Malta after surviving a shipwreck. He draws parallels between Paul’s literal journey to Rome and every believer’s spiritual journey through life. Despite trials—including storms, false accusations, and a snake bite—Paul remains faithful to God’s purpose.
Pastor Wes unpacks lessons in trusting God’s sovereignty, especially during life’s setbacks. Paul’s obedience opened doors for healing, evangelism, and fulfillment of prophecy. Pastor Wes challenges listeners to recognize that their lives are not random but designed by God with intentional purpose. He exhorts the church to boldly share the Gospel, as Paul did, and to live as “missionaries” in their families, workplaces, and communities.
The sermon ends with a reminder from Romans 1 and Revelation 4:11 that we are created for God’s pleasure and should live surrendered, trusting Him to work through both pain and purpose.
In “Your Journey,” Pastor Wes walks through Acts 28, comparing Paul’s journey to Rome with our walk as believers. He reminds us that God is sovereign in storms, trials, and even delays. Our mission, like Paul’s, is to boldly proclaim the Gospel. Pastor Wes urges us to obey God’s leading, trust in His plan, and live with urgency to reach others with the hope of Christ.
