Here's how the study works:
Read the chapter mentioned in the heading several times during the week and share any words, thoughts, verses that stood out to you. Having a week for a chapter creates the opportunity to reread it several times and make additional comments as you feel inclined as well as make comments on other people's insights.

v.13 When a gentle south wind began to blow, they saw their opportunity; so they weighed anchor and sailed along the shore of Crete.
Sometimes we think we have what we want only to find ourselves in a huge storm. Nevertheless God is with us in the storm and He won't desert us even if it is our bad decisions that lead us into the storm.
v.10 “Men, I can see that our voyage is going to be disastrous and bring great loss to ship and cargo, and to our own lives also.”
v.24 Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’
People should have died but God not only protected Paul but graciously protected everyone else too. Our God is a gracious God, sparing Paul the trauma of seeing people drown and giving them the opportunity of believing in Him. God will give people every possible opportunity to turn to Him.
I've been a bit behind but have now caught up. This weekend I will post the final chapter in Acts and then restart in the new year.
