Answer from what the passage actually says — stay in the text.
What does this passage show me about God?
- How does God bring Paul to Rome through the storm, the shipwreck, and Malta — and how does the book end, with Paul under guard?
What does it show me about people — and about myself?
- In the storm Paul said, 'I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me.' What promise of God do you need to stand on in your current storm?
What will I obey this week? (a concrete step, with a day)
- Acts ends with the gospel proclaimed 'with all boldness and without hindrance' — and the story unfinished. Having walked the whole book, what is the one 'I will…' you carry forward?
Who will I tell?
- The message reached Rome through ordinary believers who were scattered and sent. Where is your 'Rome' — the farthest place your witness could reach — and what first step will you take toward it this week?
Grow
Growth is God's part, not yours. Do the cycle faithfully and trust Him to give the growth (1 Corinthians 3:6–7).
Pray
Lord of the storm, you kept your promise through shipwreck, snakebite, and chains, until Paul was preaching in Rome with all boldness and without hindrance. Finish what you have begun in me — and through me.
