This week, New Life Church welcomed guest pastor Pastor Robby Emery.

Preaching from Acts 27–28, Pastor Robby reminds us that life does not always take us where we planned to go. Paul was shipwrecked on Malta, bitten by a poisonous snake, and surrounded by people waiting to see if he would fall. But instead of living like a castaway, Paul kept serving, shook off what tried to attach itself to him, and allowed God to use his wounded hand to bring healing to others.

This message is a call to stop letting circumstances define us and start walking out our calling wherever God has placed us. Even when we are hurting, we can still bring hope. Even when the ship breaks apart, we can still hold on to faith. And even when the enemy tries to use pain to paralyze us, God can use those same wounds to reveal His glory.

If you feel far from God, discouraged by disappointment, or stuck in a season you did not choose, this message will encourage you to draw close to the Father, shake off what does not belong, keep serving, and trust that God can turn your shipwreck into purpose.
