Power over Poison

Big idea: When attacks become fuel

Main Point:  kindled by the fire, carried by faith 

After surviving a shipwreck, Paul begins to warm himself by a fire when a snake suddenly bites him. It’s a moment of spiritual and physical attack, just as he’s recovering—evidence that opposition often strikes when we’re vulnerable but stepping forward in faith. Paul doesn’t panic; he shakes it off, and the expected harm never comes. His steady faith in uncertain circumstances becomes a witness, opening the way for healing and blessing to flow to an unreached island.
