Continuing where Pastor Troy left off on Paul's journey to Rome, the ship that Paul was transported on was caught in a storm that was so violent, that the crew threw their tackle and cargo overboard, and barely kept it together with ropes. When the ship was all battered up, the crew was dangerously fatigued, and all hope seemed lost among them. In the midst of extreme despair, the Lord assured Paul that they would reach their destination safely. As the crew saw how Paul was dealing with the situation, keeping calm, and trusting in God's promise directed toward them, His influence moved them to listen to him and to pray for daylight. What was so profound about this is that all of their means of self-sufficiency was gone. Romans who did not listen to Paul (a prisoner, of all things) now are, and they all have a strong sense that Paul knows the One who controls the storm. In this message, Pastor Troy Billow expounds on what it means to have faith in the midst of immense trouble/danger, and influence others to gain hope, strength, and faith when all hope would otherwise be lost.
