Hey this is Stephen Fertake. I'm the pastor of Elevation Church and this is our

podcast. I wanted to thank you for joining us today. Hope this inspires you.

Hope it builds your faith. Hope it gives you perspective to see God is moving in your life,

enjoy the message.

All right, look at this from Acts chapter 27.

I preach this passage back in 2013 and this is the sequel back then I did a message called

It Will Happen.

So I thought somebody say it happens.

However you want to take that.

There's a message about faith and fear and I want to get back into it today and share with you another level of it. And let me read

Acts chapter 2720. Paul is in the middle of a miracle but he's also in the middle of

a mistake and sometimes the two are the same thing.

That's about perspective. Sometimes the two are the same thing.

Well, the Bible says in verse 20,

Acts chapter 27, when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and the storm

continued raging, because it was one of those things that wouldn't let up it was not the

kind of trial that you go through and just get through it it's it's like when

when you don't see any end in sight. It was that kind of thing. So what happened was they lost all their hope and they quit believing that they could be saved, that it could be different, that they could be

delivered. And right at the time that they started to let go of their hope, God

spoke to Paul in a powerful way. And of course Paul was that great missionary who took the gospel

to the Gentiles. And so it was a good thing for them that he was on board.

Touch somebody. You ought to be glad you're sitting next to me.
