"On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Pal began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.  There were many lamps n the upper room where we were gathered together.  And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.  But Paul went down and fell upon him, and after embracing him, he said, 'Do not be troubled, for his life is in him.'  When he had gone back up and had broken the bread and eaten, he talked with them a long while until daybreak, and then left.  They took away the boy alive, and were greatly comforted."

This is not necessarily a ringing endorsement for Paul's preaching.  While he speaks, this boy, Eutychus, falls asleep.  Then the boy falls out of a window and dies.

But here is what you can say about Paul:  He seems to have faith in ways that we cannot see.

So Paul focuses on faith, and allows his faith to speak for itself.

Paul's faith leads him.  It leads him to fall on this boy and proclaim him to live.  It leads him to make statements that seem far-fetched to us.  It leads him to live his life in a way that is transformed.

Des your faith transform your life?
