The Shipwreck | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of Paul’s shipwreck, built around his words in the storm: “Be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me” (Acts 27:25).

Follow a numbered map from Fair Havens to the beach at Melita, then look closer at the details. Context, Greek words and modern witnesses help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the ship, the wind, the ropes, the cargo, the angel, the anchors, the bread, the boards and the viper
• Where are you? Tempted to ignore a warning, in a storm, holding on, or safe on shore, with check-ins
• Four anchors: write the Lord’s promises on four anchors, then name your own
• Their world, their words: a prisoner bound for Rome, why they ignored him, a seer at sea, and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught about counsel and hope, with Hebrews on the anchor of the soul
• Seek Him today: a question to ask yourself, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)

Perfect For

• Personal and family Come, Follow Me study of Acts 27–28, youth lessons on following prophets and hope, and family home evening any year
• Family home evening
• Primary, Sunday School, youth and seminary teachers
• Adults who want a deeper, well-sourced study
