The Tree Church Bible Study

In this episode of The Tree Church Bible Study, we continue walking through Acts 28 as Paul remains on the island of Malta after the shipwreck.

Publius, a chief official of the island, shows unexpected hospitality to Paul and the others. When Publius’s father becomes seriously ill, Paul prays for him and lays hands on him, and he is healed. Soon, others on the island come and are healed as well.

This conversation centers on God’s continued provision in Paul’s life and what it truly means when we say that God blesses obedience. The team discusses how blessing is not always physical or financial, but often spiritual, shaping our hearts and deepening our trust in God.

Listen as we reflect on obedience, trust, and how God works through both our words and our actions.

In this episode of The Tree Church Bible Study, Pastor Stacey is joined by Pastor Anthony and Pastor Chris as they continue through Acts 27 and the dramatic conclusion of Paul’s storm at sea. After weeks of chaos, the crew finally sees land—but instead of a smooth landing, the ship runs aground and begins to break apart.

As soldiers consider killing the prisoners, God’s promise to Paul is fulfilled. Every person survives. Some swim. Others cling to broken pieces of the ship. It is not easy, but it is faithful.

This conversation explores what it means to trust God when His promises unfold differently than expected. How do we walk by faith when the journey feels uncertain? And how can we hold onto hope in the middle of the storm?
