Dear Friends, “From morning till evening, Paul

Consider Paul on his fourth and final journey. He explained and declared to the [leaders
traveled (mostly by boat) from Jerusalem, where the
church began, to Rome, the political center of the Roman
of the Jews] the kingdom of God and
empire covering approximately 2,000 miles. In the tried to convince them about Jesus.”
midst of exciting and dangerous episodes such as being
shipwrecked and tsunamis (like the one just demolishing A C T S 2 8 : 2 3 - 24
much of American Samoa), Paul forged on.

Why would a Christian go to such an extreme? Please keep in your PRAYERS . . .

He journeyed the equivalent of the distance between
Knoxville to the Grand Canyon, just to be able to preach
to the leaders in Rome. His motivation? Extreme
dedication!
Paul’s thrilling story is detailed in the book of
Acts, and when you study this book, you will get a good
understanding of the principles that govern the church
of any age. For example, our last three sermons have
been on prayer. For more about prayer: Read Acts 1:14;
2:42; and 6:4.
