NEW SERMON SERIES

This Sunday I begin a new series of sermons devoted to helping people in tough times.  Whether it's the economy, or the marriage, or the kids, or nothing specific at all that is attacking you these days, God's Word has some answers.  Sometimes God is hard to understand.  His way doesn't always make sense to us.  At least, not at first.  And when tough times hit it is easy to get discouraged and want to give up.  God understands. 

The Bible tells us that Jesus has experienced everything you have ever experienced.  Can you imagine living several life times?  What would it be like to live 300 years?  500 years?  How many wars would you have experienced?  How many highs and lows?  Can you imagine what kind of insight you would have today, if you had been alive for the last 500 years?  You would be considered the wisest person on earth and with 500 years to figure things out, you would probably be a genius.  Well ... Jesus has been around a lot longer than that.  The Bible tells us that he was there at the beginning of time.  Certainly, he would have incredible insight into life.  And trouble?  Well ... he's seen it all. 

So, in this sermon series, we will go to Jesus and ask him four simple questions about our trials and storms.  If there's no way around my storm ... How do I find peace in the midst of it?  How can I be sure I will make it through the storm?  The storm has hurt me badly ... how do I find healing?  The storm has me turned around and I've lost confidence in my judgement ... how do I find direction in the storm?

This is a great sermon series to invite your friends to.  We all know people who have been affected by a tough ecomony.  Financial struggles have an impact on all our relationships and all of life.  Reach out to those who are hurting.  Bring them to church and help them experience the warmth of God's love ... even in the midst of the storm.  Together we can practice Weathering the Perfect Storm!
