PAUL'S ADVENTURES — EPISODE 9: PAUL IN ROME Based on Acts 28 Series: Paul's Adventures | Episode 9 of 10 Target audience: Kids ages 7-15

After everything — the shipwreck, the snake bite, fourteen days of hurricane — Paul finally made it to Rome. The capital of the entire known world. The city he'd been dreaming about reaching for years.

But here's the thing. He didn't arrive as a conquering hero. He arrived in chains. A prisoner. Escorted by Roman soldiers. Most people would look at that and say, "Well, that's a failure." But most people would be dead wrong.

When Paul got to Rome, something unexpected happened. The Roman authorities actually gave him special treatment. Instead of throwing him in a dungeon, they let him rent his own house. He had a soldier guarding him — chained to him, actually — but he could receive visitors. He could talk to anyone who showed up at his door.

This story comes from Acts and is part of the New Testament.
