pray. Surely is Thine Touch me and
give me Savior divine Have Thine own way, Lord Have Thine own
way Hold o'er thy being, absolute
sway. Fill with thy Spirit, till all
shall see. Acts 27. Acts 27. Three more
messages out of the book of Acts and we're done. I'll read down to verse 11, but
I'm going to deal with the whole chapter, and we'll look at them
as we come to them. Acts 27, and when it was determined
that we should sail into Italy, you know, he appealed to Caesar,
so he's going to Italy, going to Rome. They delivered Paul
and certain other prisoners unto one named Julius, a centurion
of Augustus' band. And entering into a ship of Adramatium,
we launched, meaning to sail by the coast of Asia, one Aristarchus,
a Macedonian of Thessalonica, being with us." Now he was a
prisoner with Paul. Paul mentioned him, he said he
was a fellow prisoner. And you know it says they had
prisoners. Paul wasn't the only prisoner on this ship. But Aristarchus
was, and he was a brother in Christ with Paul. And the next day we touched Asidon. And Julius courteously entreated
Paul and gave him liberty to go unto his friends to refresh
himself. And when we had lost from this,
we sailed unto Cyprus, because the winds were contrary. And
when we had sailed over the Sea of Cilicia and Pamphylia, we
came to Maia, a city of Lycia, and there the centurion found
a ship of Alexandria sailing into Italy, and he put us therein,
found the ship going where they were going. And when we had sailed
slowly many days, and scarce were come over against Sinaites,
the wind not suffering us, we sailed under Greek over against
Salmoni. and hardly passing it, came unto
a place which is called the Fair Havens, whereunto was the city
of Lycia. And when much time was spent,
and when sailing was now dangerous, because the fast was now already
past, Paul admonished them, and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive
that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only
of the lading and ship, but also of our lives. Nevertheless, the
centurion believed the master, believed the owner of the ship,
the sailors, more than those things which were spoken by Paul." Our Father, thank you for allowing
us again to meet in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, to
meet in that name that's above every name, that name we adore,
that name you gave us, the name that we must be saved by, no
other name under heaven where a soul could possibly be saved,
saved from sin, saved from self, saved from all the fleshly things
that bother us in this world. Lord, we thank you that you're
a savior, a savior that will eventually save us entirely and
completely, and we look forward to that day. Lord, we ask for
your presence in the service tonight, ask that you'd enable
me to speak, enable me to say some things that'd be a blessing
and encouragement to your people. And our Father, we again pray
for those that are sick, to Bill and Fran, and Lord, we pray for
your great and abundant mercies given to them, those who are
at home or at some other place watching us this evening. May
they be blessed. May they be encouraged in the
gospel. Bring glory to yourself through
us. Have mercy upon us. And when Cody comes to speak
this weekend, comes to preach, God bless him. Lord, give him
great liberty in both services. Use him mightily with your hand. Use him greatly to be a blessing,
to preach the gospel of the grace of God in Christ. Forgive us
everything that's unlike you. Lord, we need you and we want
you. For Christ's sake, amen. Page 29 in our course books. Page 29. On a hill far away died the Christ

the cross. For He is the King I must trust. cross. There we go. You know, I read this about Paul getting a ship. They had taken
a bunch of prisoners to Rome, and he has to appear before Caesar. But here s salvation that God
does in a strange way, He saves everybody on this ship by storm,
saves everybody on it by storm. Not one person on it is lost.
They lose the ship, they lose the ship, and they end up being
in an awful, awful predicament. But here they are taking him
and a bunch of other prisoners to Rome, and they�ve got A fellow,
you know, that's in charge over him, a bunch of soldiers in charge
over him. But first and foremost, he said
he was a prisoner of the Lord Jesus Christ. He wasn't a prisoner
of Rome, he was a prisoner of Christ. He said, I'm a prisoner
of the Lord Jesus Christ. That's who he felt like he was
a prisoner of. And when he got to Rome, he was
going to be an ambassador coming from heaven itself, coming with
a heaven-sent message. coming with a message from the
King of Kings to a fellow that don't amount to much as far as
God's concerned, and that this man, God was going to use this
man, this Apostle Paul, who's being called a prisoner, was
going to use him and his message, going to establish a new and
everlasting kingdom in this world of Gentile nations on this earth,
people like us. And on the surface it just seems
like a story of a young group of men having bad luck, bad luck. You know, they got in a boat
and the boat wasn't going to go. Everything that went wrong,
went wrong. That's what happened. But Paul
had warned them in verse 9 and 10. He told them when they got
on that ship, he told them the last part of verse 9, he says,
Paul now already admonished them, and said unto them, Sirs, I perceive
that this voyage will be with hurt and much damage, not only
of the lading, the things that's on board the ship, but the ship
and also our lives." God doesn't let any of them know what's going
to happen. And here's the thing, and I'm going to just go down
here and I'm going to deal with a verse or two at a time and
go and see what I want to say about it. The first thing it
was when they got on this ship, and Paul had admonished them,
It says down here in verse 17, let s look at this, And which
when they had taken up, they was running under a great ungodly,
and a great, great, great storm, what you would call a northeaster.
And they couldn t go with the wind, so they just had to let
the ship go, and go wherever it would go. Which when they
had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing
lest they should fall into the quicksand, straked sail, and
so driven. They drove took their sails down,
and we being seedingly tossed with tempest, the next day they
lightened the ship, got some weight off of it. And the third
day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.
And listen to this, and when neither sun nor stars in many
days appeared, and no small tempest laid upon us, now this is what
I want to say, perilous position, all hope that we should be saved
was taken away. All hope that we should be saved
was taken away. You know, that's a position,
I think, that about every believer gets in before God saves them.
They lose hope in this world, they lose hope in themselves,
they lose hope in their professions, they lose hope in everything
that they ever thought, believed, or said or done. They lose HOPE
that they'd ever be saved, and here they are, they're in this
awful condition. And I believe if you've never been without
hope, you don't have no hope now. If you've never been without
hope and been without God and without Christ in this world,
I believe you don't have a hope right now. God has to take all
hope of you of being saved by your works, by the law, by merit,
by all other kinds of things. There was no hope in this ship
that they were in. There was no hope in the flesh
and those sailors that was on there. There was no hope in all
the things that they threw off that ship. There's no hope in
works that a man does. There's no hope in a law, a man
keeping the law. And there's no hope in self.
They lost all hope of being saved, being saved. And I tell you what,
I've been, I know what it is to be without hope, I really
do. But I'll tell you this, I don't
give up hope for my loved ones, I know what it is, but you know
I have to hope for them because they won't hope for themselves.
I have to have a hope for them, I have to pray for them, and
you know there's going to come a time when there'll be no hope!
for them to be saved. But as long as God's on His throne,
as long as God's throwing mercy, as long as God's saving people
by grace, as long as God's breaking in on people, I'm gonna believe
and have with hope that He'll break in on my children one of
these days. I've got to believe that. That would, sure enough,
you're talking about losing hope. But oh my, so there's in a perilous,
and this is true position of those that have been awakened
by the Holy Spirit. It really is, and then look what
a faithful, faithful proclamation the preacher made in this condition,
starting in verse 21. You know, it says later that
there was 14 days, 14 days went by that this storm beat on them. They didn t see a star in the
heavens, and that s how they navigated by the stars. That's
how they navigated. They didn't have compasses back
then. They didn't have those kind of things the way they do
now. They navigated by stars for 14 days. They didn't see
a star. They didn't see the sun. There
was darkness and a storm beat on them for 14 days. Two whole weeks of storm beat
down on them called Huracan. horrible, horrible storm. And
the thing is, is that I was reading today that these people, this
is wintertime, and they would always, after November the 12th,
they would take all the ships and not sail anymore until winter
went past because the weather was so bad and so unpredictable.
Well, they didn't do that. You know, Paul tried to tell
them, Don't do this, and that Centurion said, No, we believe
in the Master, we believe sailors. Paul, we don t believe a thing
you re saying. Don t believe a thing you re
saying. But look what he said now, verse 21, But after a long
abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them. Now, they
d already given up hope they d going to be saved. Oh, we re
not going to be saved. We re going to lose the ship
and we re going to lose our lives. We re just a bunch of goners.
But oh, after long abstinence, Paul stood forth in the midst
of them, and said, Sirs, and oh my, this is one of them told-you-so
moments, Sirs, you should have hearkened unto me, and not loosed
from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss. I told you
this was coming, and that's what we do. We tell people that there's
a storm coming. Noah said there's a storm coming.
He preached for 120 years, there s a storm coming! There s a storm
coming! And I tell you what, get in that
ark and get out of this storm! Get someplace where you can be
safe! Get someplace where you can get in and out of the storm
so you can be saved! Noah for 120 years said, There
s going to be a STORM one of these days, and it s going to
be a STORM of the judgment of God Himself! And oh my, and I
tell you what, we warn men all the time. How many services have I begged
people, begged people, why don't you believe? Why don't you trust? Why don't I warn and warn and
warn and warn? And that's what they said, and
I tell you what, he's just a preacher, that's what they thought about
him, you know, we don't need to pay any attention to him.
Now they're listening to a preacher. And oh, my, look what he says,
And now I exhort you to be a good cheer. These fellas, they re all without
hope, and he gets up and tells them, Be happy, be blessed, be
cheerful, cheer up! And look what he says, and this
is a good reason to cheer up. He said, There shall be no loss
of any man s life among you but the ship. We're going to lose
the ship, but there ain't going to be a soul lost off this ship.
Now, you're talking about an encouraging message, and that's
what the gospel is, telling people that when you're without hope,
that there's a salvation, and you know you lose everything
in this world, you give up everything in this world, you're going to
lose the ship, You're gonna lose things that's valuable. You're
gonna lose things that mean a lot to you. You're gonna lose all
the hope that you have in this world. You're not gonna be interested
in what you have and what you possess and your materialism
anymore. You're gonna be thankful that
God's gonna save you on this ship. And that's what he said. None of y'all's gonna be without.
I'm gonna believe all of you, you know. And I'll tell you what
he goes on to say now. Oh, there's not gonna be a loss
of any man among you. Listen to this now. Oh, that's
the certainty of gospel. There stood by me this night
the angel of God, whom I serve. saying, Fear not, Paul, thou
must be brought before Caesar, and, lo, God hath given all them
that sail with thee. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer,
for I believe God, even as it was told me, howbeit we must
be cast upon a certain island. So, oh, my, here s the thing
about it. He said, There stood by me this
night an angel of God, an angel of God. And look what he says,
Whose I am. Not the angel. God, whose I am. Whose I am. I believe God. I'm one of God's. That's what
he's saying. Whose I am. So I believe him. You don't have
to believe him, but I believe him. And I tell you, God, whose
I am. You know, let me tell you some
things about God, who we are. If we belong to God, we belong
to him as a child. with his child, with his children,
he saved us. John called us little children.
And when a child is in danger, the father don't just walk off
and leave them in their danger and just leave them alone and
leave them in their predicament. Do you think God was gonna let
this man, when he has already told him he's gotta go see Caesar,
that he's gonna walk off and leave this man in all this condition? You think God would, if God,
he said if a father If a father, being evil, being evil, knows
how to give good gifts unto his children, how much more shall
your Heavenly Father give to you? And that's what he's talking
about. He said, whose I am. We belong to God as a child,
as a child. Secondly, we belong to Him as
sheep. We're sheep. He said, God, whose I am. Can you say, God, whose I am?
God, and I'm one of His. Oh, we belong to Him as sheep,
and the shepherd, the shepherd will not lose one sheep, not
one of them. He won't do it. And then thirdly,
we belong to God as a bride, belongs to a bridegroom, and
Christ, the Church is the Bride of Christ. And then look what
He says, not only that, but in verse 23 He says, God, whose
I am, and whom I serve. And oh, listen, and that's why
he said in verse 24, whom I serve, saying, fear not, Paul, you must
be brought before Caesar. You must be. So what Paul was
saying is, I'm not gonna die in this storm. And he said, God's
given me all of you, and you're not gonna die in this storm.
You're not gonna die in this storm. Oh, my. So I tell you what, here you
got this preacher telling these folks, And he says, I, sirs,
I believe, he said in verse 25, sirs, be of good cheer, for I
believe God, I believe God. That's what Abraham did, he believed
God. Went out not knowing where in
the world he was going. God said, Abraham, leave your
country and go to a country that I show you, go into Canaan. And
Abraham spent his whole life not knowing where he was going.
You know what he spent his life doing? Moving from here to here,
to here, to here, looking for a city whose builder and maker
was God. He said, Abraham said, he believed
God. He believed God. And that's what
Paul says, sirs, I believe God. And that's not a small thing
to say, I believe God. I'll tell you what it is, it's
presumption to NOT believe God. You're talking about a sinful
thing, to NOT believe God. Could God ever lie? Could God
ever fail? Could God ever stop being gracious?
Could God ever stop being righteous? Can God ever stop being immutable? Can God stop being God? He said,
Sirs, I believe God! They was all standing around
there just three or four verses later, and this is all happening
at the same time. They'd give up hope of being
saved. Paul got up and said, Men and brethren, be of good
cheer. What have we got to be happy
about? God said, You're going to save everyone of you. You're
going to lose the ship, but you're going to live. And then God told me, look what
He says there now. He says in verse God hath given
thee all them that sell with thee. Where it first serves in
verse 25, I believe God, and listen to this, that it shall
be even that it was told me. You know, God's told us some
things. He's told us some things, and I believe everything He's
told me. I believe everything He's told me. He told me that
He came to save sinners, so He saved me, I'm a sinner. He told
me that Christ died for sinners, told me that. He told me that
He would bring, that He would bring EVERYONE for whom Christ
died to Himself. He told me that it would be IMPOSSIBLE
for God to reject one for someone who Christ died. He told me that
there was an elect people, that there was a particular people
He died for, that these people would be washed in the blood
of Christ and they'd have NO SIN, NO CONDEMNATION! God's told
us! He told us about His Son, told
us about salvation in His Son. Oh, He told us! And that's why
he said, let not your heart be troubled. Don't let it be troubled.
And oh my. And he said, I believe it's going
to be even as told me. Whatever God's told me, I believe
it's going to be that way. Don't you? Oh, how many times has God told
us? Oh, sometimes he has to knock
us in the head a little bit every once in a while. And I mean,
you know, chastise us, I guess what you'd call it. But he has
to get our attention. And oh, the certainty of the
gospel. This shows us the certainty of the gospel. I believe. I believe. It shall be even as it's told
me. Oh my. It shall be even as it's told
me. And here's the thing. Paul didn't
speculate. Paul didn't give his opinion.
Paul didn't tell him what he thought. Paul didn't tell him
what he hoped would happen through here. Paul, all he talked about
says, WHAT GOD TOLD HIM. HE JUST TOLD WHAT GOD SAID TO
HIM WHILE HE WAS ON THAT BOAT. HE SAID, GOD HATH APPEARED UNTO
ME, WHOSE I AM, AND HE HATH TOLD ME HE'S GOING TO LET EVERY ONE
OF Y'ALL BE SAVED. NOT ONE OF YOU IS GOING TO LOSE
YOUR LIFE. HE SAID, I GOT TO APPEAR BEFORE SEASON, AND HE'S
GOING TO SAVE EVERY ONE OF YOU. AND SIRS, I BELIEVE HIM. HE JUST
TOLD WHAT GOD TOLD HIM. NOTHING MORE, NOTHING LESS. Huh? And I tell you what, no prophecies here, and only
those who believe what God reveals to them, and God HAS to reveal
it to you. And I tell you, you believe the
revelation of God and you hear the gospel, you believe a gospel
of a certain and sure salvation given to us in Christ. But now
there's a necessary, something necessary has to take place.
Now look down here in verse 30. Now we see the sovereignty of
God and man's responsibility. And as the shipmen were about
to flee out of the ship when they had let down the lifeboats
into the sea, under color or pretending as though they were
going to go cast out some anchors out of the foreship. They act
like, you know, we're gonna get off this boat, what they're saying,
we're gonna get the lifeboats and we're getting out of here.
But Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, except these
bide in the ship, you cannot be saved. If you're gonna be saved, you
will have to do what God said for you to do. You're gonna stay on this ship.
Oh, I don't wanna go down with the ship. You're gonna stay on
this ship. I THINK IT'S DANGEROUS! I'm going, You've got to stay
on this ship. You've got to stay right here. And Paul said, If
you're going to be saved, the only way you're going to be saved
is do what God said. He said, I'm going to give you
every one of these people on this boat with you, them that
sail with you. And oh, my! And oh, watch what happened now.
So the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat and let her fall
off. wouldn't let them guys get in that boat. Oh, my! God's sovereignty and
human responsibility. If a man had got off that ship,
he'd have perished. It's like Naaman. God told him,
said, Naaman, you've got to go to the river Jordan and duck
yourself seven times. I ain't going to do it! I'm not
going to do that! He walked off mad, stomping his
foot angry. But you know what? Only way in
the world he could be saved. The water didn't save him. The
water never washed his sins away. You know what saved him? He did
what God told him to do, and that's what cleared him. And
this is what God said to these men. If you get out of this ship,
there ain't no salvation for you. You get out of Christ, there
ain't no salvation for you. You don't believe Christ, no
salvation for you. You don't believe what God did
for sinners in Christ, there's no salvation for you. The promise
was all would be saved. That means abiding in the ship.
You know, our Lord said, Without Me, you can do nothing, not hardly
something, but nothing, and that s what He said here. God sovereignly
saves And I tell you what, He sovereignly saves, we know that,
yet He uses means, He uses the Gospel, He uses preachers, He
uses His Word, He uses the Gospel. God ain't never saved somebody
without a means. And God uses means, He uses the
Gospel, He uses repentance and faith, justified by faith. And oh my, now look what Paul
says to these fellas. down here in verse 33, look what
he says, And while the day was coming
on, daylight was coming on, the day was coming on, early in the
morning, Paul besought them all to take something to eat. saying, this day is the 14th
day that you have tarried and continued fasting and have taken
nothing. These folks were so engrossed
in this storm trying to save themselves that they didn't eat
meat. They didn't have nobody cook,
you know, just this awful storm. And then he says, but oh my,
wherefore I pray you to take some meat, for this is for your
health. He not only cared about their
SPIRITUAL well-being, but your HEALTH. If you don't eat something,
He said, you're going to die anyway, for this is for your
HEALTH. Take this to get some STRENGTH
from it, get some HEALTH from it. See, Paul not only cared
about their SPIRITUAL condition, but for their COMFORT, for their
HEALTH, and look what he goes on to say. Now listen to that,
for there shall not a hair fall from the head of any of you.
Now that's a pretty big statement, ain't it? He said, eat! Eat, and I'll tell you, get your
strength back. It's gonna make you feel better.
You'll get it, make you healthy. And he said, I'm gonna tell you
one other thing. Not only are you gonna be safe, there's not
gonna be a hair come off the top of your head. Oh, my, what a message! Oh, the
order of God's message is salvation first, and then you some comfort,
then may God bless you, if God's will. Christ had compassion. Oh, how many times He had compassion
and fed people and took care of people. And I tell you, the
gospel by the power of God never starts with the social conditions
of pain, but always with the sinfulness first. But oh my,
now look what a wonderful transformation. We started out there in verse
20. They lost all hope of being saved,
lost all hope of being saved. Now look what happens now. And he said this in verse 35,
ìWhen he had spoken this, he took bread, took food, gave thanks
to God in the presence of all, and when he had broken it, he
began to eat.î Now listen to this, youíre talking about TRANSFORMATION,
what the gospel does for people. ìThen were all they of good cheer.î Started out no hope of salvation,
now theyíre all happy. Now they're all of good cheer.
Oh my, what a difference the message of the gospel does. What
a difference the word of God does for somebody. And oh my,
and they all took some meat, and they all ate. And you know
how many people's in this ship? 276 people. 276 people on this
boat. 276 people. And oh my, they were all hope,
no contrast. And the promise of being saved,
the promise of salvation, that none would perish, none would
perish at all, gave them some blessed hope.
And I tell you, God takes notice when He sends His message. Oh
my, He takes notice, takes notice. And oh my, Look down here in
verse 42, here we see a perfect salvation, salvation perfected,
and I ll close with this. Well, they go out where two seas
met and the ship stopped and it just fell all to pieces, the
ship just broke in all to pieces, and the soldiers took counsel
to kill the prisoners lest any of them should swim out and escape.
Yeah, so they just don t let these prisoners escape, let s
kill them. But the centurion, willing to save Paul, kept them
from their purpose, and commanded that they which could swim should
cast themselves first into the sea, and get to land. If you
can swim, start swimming. They were stuck right there between
where two Sue s met, and there s some land. They got in there
between this and kind of a river in there and got stuck. And watch
what happens now. and the rest, some on boards,
some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass
that they all escaped safe to land." Paul told them he was
all going to be there, didn't he? They all didn't get to the
shore on the same way. No, no. And not all at the same
time. No, no. And I'll tell you what,
We're not going to all get on that land on that shore over
there the same way in the same time. No, no. Not going to have
to go the same way. But I tell you what, all of them
received the fulfillment of the same promise of salvation and
being saved. If they hadn't abided in the
ship, they'd have lost everything. And I tell you what, some of
them got on board. You know, Paul mentioned three
times that he was, he was floating around in the ocean and in the
sea on board three different times. Suffer shipwreck. Maybe this is one of them. He
had to get on a board and just float in there, you know, and
hold on to a board to get to land. But they got there, and
God kept His promise that every one of you would be saved, not
one hair of your head. Huh? You reckon He'll do that
for us? You reckon we got the same promise?
Huh? Oh, my. No wonder, no wonder. The scripture says, All that
the Father gives me shall come to me, and him that cometh to
me I shall in no wise cast out. But I should raise him up at
the last day. Oh my, that's what he's going
to do. And Paul's reaction and action in this terrible,
terrible situation shows that he believed God. He believed
God. And I wish that God would enable
me to believe him that way too. I'd love to believe God that
way. But God kept his promise. Paul knew what was coming. And
you know why all those fellows were saved? And we'll see next
week what happened because they was thrown on that island. Not
only were these folks saved, but there are going to be a bunch
of heathens saved on this island. But every single one of them,
not one of them, not a single one, was lost on that ship because
God, God said they wouldn't. And what God says, is right,
true, and they used to say, you can take that to the bank. No,
no, just don't take anything to the bank. Just take everything
to God. That's where everything comes
from anyway. That's where their salvation came from. Our Father. Oh Lord, what a gospel. What a short message that this
man was used of God to say. And what a transformation, what
a change from having no hope of being saved to being perfectly
saved, to being saved. Every soul on that boat was saved,
taken to land, safe. Everyone, God gave them to Paul.
And Lord, we thank you that you keep your word You keep your
promises. You've already told us in your
word what's been done. And Lord, we sing that song,
have thine own way. Lord, you're always gonna have
your own way. Whether we acknowledge it or
whether we submit to it or whether we bow to it or whether we submit,
you're gonna have your way. And I know, Lord, you're gonna
have your way. And Lord, we find in our hearts to bow to that
Give ourselves up to that and bless these dear saints as they
go their way and do it for Christ's sake. Amen. Amen. There was a song I was thinking
of. I can't think of it now. Thank you, Lord, for saving my
soul. Thank you, Lord, for making me
whole. Thank you, Lord, for giving to
me Thy great salvation so rich and free. See you next Wednesday, God willing. Appreciate it. Salvation.
