The journey continues through good and bad times.

one named Julius, a centurion of the Augustan
Regiment.

10. Coming In Under The Radar
Acts 27:4 (NKJV)
4 When we had put to sea from there, we sailed under
the shelter of Cyprus, because the winds were
contrary.
11. Stealth
Under the shelter of Cyprus …Stealth
We’re coming in under the radar..
Cyprus –An Island in the Mediterranean Sea very
strategic…very important as a source for timber
used in shipbuilding and copper, both vital
commodities in the ancient world.
Wood a carpenters favor material for building.
Ships were use as a Christian symbol in the first
century. They reminded the church of Noah and the
New testament stories of Jesus…calming the storms.
12. The Divine Nature
Copper- copper is inferior in value to gold, just as the
human nature is inferior to the divine nature.
Just as these sources were critical to the development of
the known world of the first century. We are gravely
critical to the building of God’s Kingdom on the earth.
2 Peter 1:4 (NKJV)
4 by which have been given to us exceedingly great and
precious promises, that through these you may be
partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the
corruption that is in the world through lust.
13. Penetrating the Winds
Acts 27:7 (NKJV)
7 When we had sailed slowly many days, and arrived
with difficulty off Cnidus, the wind not permitting
us to proceed, we sailed under the shelter of Crete
off Salmone.
….Had sail…catch the wind
Slow is good…start off slow and pick up speed…
Our arrival is not with out complexity…yet without
question we will reach our destination…
14. The Winds of Change
Cnidus- Great city of Commerce in Turkey
Godless systems
Winds – symbolic of earthly systems that resist
people of God. Eph 4:14; Matt 24:31
16. Isaiah 11:3-4 (NKJV)
3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord, And He shall
not judge by the sight of His eyes, Nor decide by
the hearing of His ears;
4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, And
decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He
shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the
wicked.
