Shipwreck and Survival

It had been Paul’s desire to go to Rome -- Romans 15:22-29

Proverbs 16:9 -- A man’s heart plans his way, But the Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 19:21 -- There are many plans in a man’s heart, Nevertheless the 

Lord’s counsel—that will stand.

I. A Slow Start 27:1-8

II. A Serious Warning 27:9-12

III. Sage Advice Ignored 27:13-20

IV. Salvation Promised 27:21-26

Verse 21 “incurred” is literally “gained”
What they “gained” was not what they hoped to gain.
“injury” and “loss” -- exactly what Paul warned of in v. 10 (Greek).

Paul had God’s promise (23:11) and the promise is repeated here.

V. Sailors needed (in God’s Providence) 27:27-32

VI. Sustenance Taken 27:33-38

VII. Shipwreck! 27:39-41

VIII. Soldier’s Plans Thwarted 27:42

IX. Saved from the Sea 27:43-44
