JULY 19 -- BIBLE STORY SUMMARY
In Acts 27:1–28:10 we read about a moment towards the end of Paul’s life. He was on his way to Rome to stand trial, but he and the entire crew were shipwrecked on the journey. This was a major setback, but Paul knew he could trust God. God used Paul in this moment to bring others to Him.
That's why our Bottom Line this week is: Knowing Jesus changes the way you see your problems.
Life will not always be easy. Thankfully, when we have a relationship with Jesus, we don’t have to go through them on our own. Jesus
can change the way we see our problems. He can turn them into situations where we find God’s peace that passes all understanding.

"BE OKAY WITH SAYING "I DON'T KNOW" By Dan Scott As parents, we all know how much kids love to ask questions, many of which start with the word, “Why.” These questions may start out simple: "Why is the sky blue?" or "Why can’t I have another piece of cake?" But when it comes to developing a child's faith, soon enough, these questions will progress to something more challenging. Questions like “Why do bad things happen?" or "Why does it feel like God doesn’t care?" We can’t avoid questions. They are part of the human experience. Like it or not, that means questions will also be part of a growing personal faith. We can’t ignore them or sweep them under a rug, hoping they’ll disappear. At the same time, we can’t string pithy phrases together and assume we’re helping someone answer their deepest faith questions . . .
