Continuing Acts, this message follows Paul's journey to Rome in Acts 27:1–26 and the violent storm that drives the ship far off course. The sermon connects Paul's experience to our own storms: feeling lost, doing everything possible to keep it together, and taking real losses that must be grieved well. It highlights the need for "traveling companions" like Luke and Aristarchus, and anchors hope in God's faithfulness—present with the brokenhearted and committed to His plan even when all hope feels abandoned.

In Acts 25–26, Paul's case moves from Festus to a hearing with King Agrippa II and Bernice. The message looks closely at these historical figures—their backgrounds, wounds, and hidden brokenness—and shows how Paul presents the gospel through his own past, his encounter with Jesus, and his hope in the resurrection. It culminates in Paul's desire that they might become as he is—free—"except for these chains," alongside the promise of being a "new creation" (2 Cor. 5:17).

Continuing Woodlands' Acts series, this message follows Paul into a courtroom in Acts 24 before Governor Felix. A lawyer, Tertullus, brings charges of sedition, rebellion, and desecrating the temple, but Paul answers with respectful clarity: the accusations can't be proved, and the real issue is the resurrection and "the Way." Echoing Jesus' words in Luke 21, the trial becomes a witness. Felix later calls for Paul to speak, and Paul reasons about righteousness, self-control, and the coming judgment—even as political pressure leaves Paul imprisoned.
