Potential disaster comes upon Paul and his travelling companions as Paul is escorted by Roman soldiers to Rome. By travelling at the wrong time of year, a terrible storm arises and threatens the lives of everyone on the ship. But... God is still in control...

The Jews hated Paul so much that some of them were prepared to take an oath to murder him! But God in His Grace saved Paul, which led to trials and a long imprisonment. But eventually, Paul found himself telling rulers about Jesus

As Paul tried to show the Jews that he upheld the law, enemies of Paul watched him, looking for an opportunity to cause him trouble and, within no time at tall, they had practically the whole of Jerusalem in uproar as they accused Paul of a very serious crime. So bad was the situation, that the Roman garrison had to be called out to save Paul not once or twice, but 3 times in 2 days! However, the Lord stood by Paul to encourage him.

Moving on to Ephesus, the Lord starts to do amazing things and the name of the Lord Jesus is held in very high regard as the Lord confirms Paul's message with extraordinary miracles! Others who don't know Jesus try to use His Name for their own purposes and end up suffering the consequences. However, opposition comes again, this time in the form of a metal working guild who see sales of their hand made idols fall as people turn away from images to the Real Living God. Because of their fall in trade, they start a riot of sorts which, thankfully, doesn't get too out of hand.
