Friends and Heroes Bible Adventures: Rescue Strangers

SYNOPSIS

Because of his success against the battering ram, Macky is now a little full of himself. Isaac tells him how strongly Paul and Barnabas objected to being treated as gods in Lystra, but the story doesn’t seem to make much of an impression on Macky. Later, when a stranger named Tamar urges him to attempt a risky rescue for the imprisoned zealot Daniel, Macky rashly takes on the task – even though some of Tamar’s information about Daniel is at odds with information Portia has given him.

Macky finds out almost too late that Tamar has taken advantage of him; she’s tricked him into rescuing not Daniel, but rather, a friend of hers – who happens to be a brutal killer. Only Portia can save Macky now, but she’s angry at him for rejecting her advice in favor of a stranger’s, and Isaac must recount for her the story of Michal’s rescue of David in order to galvanize Portia into action.
