Drawing from Acts 28, the sermon highlights three key takeaways from Paul's time on Malta: the importance of showing kindness to those who are "shipwrecked," the development of character and perseverance through life's snakes and trials, and the responsibility to bring hope to others. Paul's actions—gathering wood, shaking off a snake, and healing the sick—show how serving God's purpose involves getting hands-on, trusting God through adversity, and letting our transformed lives point people to Jesus.
