·28 min·2 clips

Dewey Bertolini reveals they will finish Acts next week and begin studying Revelation in two weeks.

The episode opens with an Easter greeting and announcement that the study of Acts will conclude next week, followed by a new study of Revelation. Dewey Bertolini reads Acts 27:1 from the New Living Translation and prays. He discusses Paul's letter to the Romans, written before Paul visited Rome, expressing his desire to encourage the believers there. The host recounts Paul's background: his arrest in Jerusalem after his third missionary journey, false accusations, and confinement in Caesarea under Governor Felix. Paul appeals to Caesar and is sent to Rome under Centurion Julius. Luke accompanies Paul, and the narrative follows their voyage. The ship leaves Caesarea, stops at Sidon, and faces headwinds. They change to an Egyptian grain freighter in Myra. Paul warns against sailing in October due to perilous conditions, but the crew ignores him. A nor'easter storm drives the ship for 14 days. Paul receives an angelic vision assuring that all will survive but the ship will be wrecked. The ship runs aground on Malta, and all 276 people escape safely. The host emphasizes historical details like ship dimensions and navigation challenges. He connects the events to Paul's belief in resurrection, tying it to Easter. The episode ends with a preview of Acts 28 and the upcoming Revelation study.
