To study Acts 27 in a group
1. What it says
What does Paul tell the men on the ship as the storm drags on, and why? (vv. 21-26)
2. What it means
When the sailors want to escape in the boat, why does Paul say they must stay on the ship? (vv. 30-32)
3. How I live it
In the storm, Paul urged everyone to eat and not lose hope (vv. 33-36). How do you stay calm and look after others in a crisis?
