Courageous Endurance: Motivated by Our Sanctifying Effect (Acts 27:27-38) | Pastor Mike Fabarez

Preaching through the shipwreck narrative of Acts 27, Fabarez argues that God keeps believers alive not for more personal pleasures but because their presence has a sanctifying, protective, indispensable effect on the concentric circles they inhabit; home, church, secular society, and even the restraining of evil in the world; just as Paul's presence on the storm-battered ship guaranteed the safety of everyone aboard.
