What storm are you in right now? Is it your marriage, your job, your children, your health, or something else? Perhaps you have walked through a storm in all of these areas. In this sermon, Pastor Mark Hartman teaches us how to survive the storms of life and why God allows them to happen anyways. In the Gospel of Matthew, we read of the time that Jesus purposely sent His disciples into a storm and then walked on water Himself through the middle of the storm. When we pay close attention to the example they set for us, we learn several things about navigating the storms of life.
Rules For Walking on Water
1. Remember that without the storm, there can be no miracle.
2. We will never walk on water until we are willing to get out of the boat and take that first step.
3. We will never walk on water in the big storms until we first do it in the present storm.
4. Get out of the boat and start obeying Jesus.
5. After we have learned how to walk on water in the storms of our life, our view of Jesus will be forever changed.
What storm are you walking through? Are you ready to get out the boat? How can we help?
