Once Paul reaches Rome, he begins to share Christ with his fellow Jews. Unfortunately and predictably, his proclamation of the Gospel brings immediate division to the Jewish community.

Sometimes, life can be really hard and we need a break. God knows our limits and He has a way of refreshing our soul. At Malta, Paul is given a time of rest and encouragement as he makes his way to Rome.

Sometimes in life, people in authority make unwise decisions that put the lives of others in jeopardy. Paul was in such a dilemma on his voyage to Rome. His unwavering trust in God gave him confidence when everyone else had given up hope.

When we give our personal testimony, it helps to establish some common ground with those we are trying to reach with the Gospel. Like King Agrippa, the Apostle Paul had a lot of regrets in life. However, the forgiveness and purpose he found in his relationship with Jesus Christ changed everything.

Sometimes in life it pays to know how to work the system. The Apostle Paul used his knowledge of the Roman legal system in order to avoid certain death and to assure his safe arrival in Rome.
