Got Any Storms?

As I'm writing this, a storm is passing over 1835 Gate 8 Road. We've got thunder, lightning, and heavy rain. I pray that our power doesn't go out (although if recent history means anything, it probably will).

But thundershowers aren't the only type of storms we have to deal with in life, are they? The truth is that we all face different kinds of storms: financial, physical, emotional, etc. And right now, it seems like we've got a lot of families that are weathering some pretty intense storms.

With that in mind, God has laid a message on my heart for Sunday that I hope will be incredibly encouraging. My sermon is entitled An Anchor For Life's Storms, and we'll be looking at two primary passages: John 16:33 and Hebrews 6:19-20. In the midst of life's storms that toss us like a ship on the open ocean, God has provided us with an anchor! And although He doesn't promise us that we'll never have troubles and trials, He does promise us that He'll see us through them!

So if you know someone that's going through some struggles right now, I want to strongly encourage you to get them here this Sunday. And if you know someone who doesn't know Jesus, this message will have a powerful emphasis on the Gospel. This will be a great weekend for you to invest and invite!

In the midst of all of the storms that are raging around us, God is still working in a powerful way here at Eulaton First Baptist Church! And I, for one, am incredibly excited to see how God's going to show His great and awesome power in the midst of these storms. There's an old hymn that contains these words, "Trials dark on every hand, and we cannot understand...but we'll understand it better by and by." If I were to rewrite that and do a Lambertized version of that song, it would go something like this: "Storms will come and storms will go...but THE BEST IS YET TO COME!"
