Paul at Malta | Acts 27–28 | God's Providence, Shipwreck, and Evangelism After surviving a violent shipwreck, the Apostle Paul arrives on the island of Malta—and what appears to be a disaster becomes one of the most remarkable evangelistic opportunities in the book of Acts. In this Bible study from the Fellowship Hall at Flint River Primitive Baptist Church, we examine Acts 27–28, tracing God's providence through Paul's imprisonment, the storm at sea, the shipwreck, and the incredible response of the people of Malta. We'll look at the island's pagan beliefs, the famous account of the viper bite, Paul's ministry of healing, and the evidence that God had already prepared hearts before Paul ever arrived. This lesson also explores the difference between the pagan concept of karma and the biblical teaching of God's providence, chastening, and righteous judgment. Above all, we see that even life's greatest trials can become opportunities for the gospel to reach those God has prepared. In this study: • The voyage to Rome and the storm called Euroclydon • Paul's shipwreck and arrival at Malta • The kindness of the Maltese people • The viper bite and the islanders' changing perception of Paul • Healing the father of Publius and many others • The likely evangelization of Malta • The contrast between karma and biblical truth • How God often uses suffering to open doors for the gospel If this study encourages you, please like, subscribe, and share it with others who enjoy in-depth Bible teaching. #Acts28 #Acts27 #Paul #ApostlePaul #BibleStudy #Evangelism #Providence #Shipwreck #Malta #PrimitiveBaptist #KJV #ChristianTeaching #MarchToZion #FlintRiverPrimitiveBaptistChurch
Paul at Malta | From the Fellowship Hall
Isaiah 40 begins a remarkable shift in the book of Isaiah. The focus moves beyond immediate events to the comfort and hope found in God's plan of redemption through Jesus Christ. When God declares, "Comfort ye my people," He points to the day when the warfare against sin would be accomplished and iniquity would be pardoned through the finished work of Christ. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we explore why Isaiah 40 is one of the great gospel chapters of the Old Testament.

Isaiah 40 Marks a Turning Point Toward the Gospel
The gospel is first and foremost a message of comfort for God's people. While there is certainly a time for rebuke, correction, and exhortation, faithful preaching continually points believers back to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Because our warfare is accomplished in Him, the message we proclaim is one of hope, assurance, and comfort. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider why God commands His ministers to "speak comfortably to Jerusalem."

When we think of boldness among the apostles, Peter is often the first name that comes to mind. Yet the Gospel of John paints a fascinating portrait of another kind of courage—a quiet, steadfast boldness that kept John close to Jesus during some of the most significant moments of His earthly ministry. In this message, we examine the relationship between Peter and John through the Gospel of John, tracing their interactions from the calling of the first disciples to the shores of Galilee after Christ's resurrection. Along the way, we see John's humble manner of recording eyewitness history, his quiet faithfulness at Jesus' trial and crucifixion, his relationship with Peter, and the practical lessons these accounts hold for believers today. This study reminds us that the Lord uses different personalities in His service, that faithful discipleship is not a competition, and that our responsibility is not to compare ourselves with others but simply to follow Christ wherever He leads.

The hope spoken of in Scripture is not wishful thinking or uncertain optimism. It is an earnest expectation founded upon the sure promises of God. Because Christ has accomplished our salvation, believers look forward with confidence to all that He has promised. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we explore the biblical meaning of hope and why it gives God's people confidence for both this life and the life to come.

What does it mean to be a “mother in Israel”? In this concluding message, we move beyond the portrait of the virtuous woman to explore the lasting influence of faithful women throughout Scripture and the vital role they play among the people of God. Whether raising children in the home, encouraging younger believers, serving in the church, or leaving a legacy of faith for future generations, godly women have always been a tremendous blessing to God’s kingdom. Join us as we conclude this biblical study of spiritual motherhood and the enduring impact of women who seek to honor the Lord with their lives.

The Legacy of a Godly Woman
One of the most comforting truths in Scripture is that Jesus Christ acted as the representative of His people. When He died, He died for us. When He was buried and rose again, He did so as our covenant Head. Because Christ bore the full penalty for our sins, our warfare is accomplished and our iniquity is pardoned. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider the glorious doctrine of Christ as our substitute and representative.

The Bible ends with a glorious promise: New Jerusalem, the eternal dwelling place of God's redeemed people. There, every sorrow will be gone, every tear will be wiped away, and God's children will live in His presence forever. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider the believer's final hope as revealed in the closing chapters of Scripture.

Revelation 21 New Jerusalem & Eternal Life
When Isaiah speaks of Jerusalem receiving comfort because her warfare is accomplished, the ultimate fulfillment is found in the Jerusalem that is above—the spiritual city of God's redeemed people. Earthly kingdoms know conflict and uncertainty, but the heavenly Jerusalem is free because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider the hope and liberty that belong to every citizen of that eternal city.

The Bible repeatedly presents God as "the God of peace," but what does that truly mean? In this message, we examine the biblical theme of peace from Genesis to Revelation, seeing that genuine peace is found only through Jesus Christ. We consider peace as one of God's own attributes, Christ as the Prince of Peace, and the peace that comes through reconciliation with God. We also explore the believer's assurance of salvation, the peace of God that guards the heart, and the calling to pursue peace with fellow believers and even with those who oppose us. True peace is far more than the absence of conflict—it is the settled confidence that comes from being reconciled to God through the finished work of Christ. 📖 Scriptures referenced include Judges 6, Isaiah 9, John 14, Romans 5, Romans 12, 2 Corinthians 5, Ephesians 4, Galatians 5, Proverbs 16, Leviticus 3 & 7, and others. We pray this message encourages you to rest in Christ, who alone gives lasting peace. #Bible #JesusChrist #Peace #GodOfPeace #PrinceOfPeace #ChristianSermon #KJV #PrimitiveBaptist #SovereignGrace #Romans5 #Assurance #Reconciliation #Faith #Gospel #ChristianLiving
The God of Peace
The gospel turns the world's values upside down. The proud are humbled, while broken sinners are lifted up by God's grace. Whether it was the woman caught in adultery, the woman who washed Jesus' feet with her tears, or the Gentile centurion Cornelius, God's mercy reached those whom the religious elite often despised. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we see how the gospel magnifies God's grace toward the humble.

God Exalts the Humble, Not the Proud
What does the Bible mean when it speaks of the “virtuous woman” in Proverbs 31? Is this passage merely an unattainable ideal, or does it present a God-honoring pattern for biblical womanhood? In the first message of this two-part series, we begin exploring the inspired portrait of the virtuous woman, considering the character, wisdom, and godliness that distinguish her life. We also examine how Scripture presents these qualities as a blessing not only within the home but also among the people of God. Join us as we begin this study of one of the Bible’s most beloved passages and consider God’s design for faithful, Christ-honoring womanhood.

Introducing the Virtuous Woman
Our salvation is not the result of a battle we fought—it is the victory won by Jesus Christ alone. The warfare between God and His people has been accomplished because the Lord Himself stepped into the conflict and secured redemption for His elect. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we look at the glorious truth that Christ finished the work, conquered every enemy, and obtained eternal salvation for His people.

Our Salvation - Victory Achieved Through Jesus Christ Alone
One of the most comforting invitations in all of Scripture is Jesus saying, "Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." The gospel is not aimed at the self-righteous who think they have no need—it is for weary sinners, burdened hearts, and struggling souls who know they need mercy. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider the kind of people Jesus welcomes and the rest He freely gives.

Jesus Gives Rest to Weary Sinners
Even before he was born, John the Baptist rejoiced at the presence of Christ. That remarkable moment reminds us that true hope is not something we manufacture, but a living hope that God places within His people. In this clip from The Gospel: Comfort and Hope, we consider the powerful testimony of John leaping for joy in his mother's womb and what it teaches us about the work of God.
