Are you in a Storm? Luke 8:22-25

Team:

Have you ever been in a storm? Sometimes in Life we feel like we are stuck in the middle of a Storm and there is no way out.

Jesus Promises that we will get to the other side. Luke 8:22-25

What is the other side? It is a stable place. A Secure Place. A Place of Confidence, Peace and Hope for the Future. Jer 29:11

The Other Side is that place where you know God has it all Under Control.

King David's life was unraveling and he was a mess. His family was torn apart. His enemy's were trying to kill him. He was running away to escape from his problems.

He couldn't understand what was going on. But then he went to the Sanctuary.

"Until I went into the sanctuary of God; [then] understood I their end." Psalm 73:17

The Sanctuary is where it all comes together. The Sanctuary is where it all makes sense. The Sanctuary is the "Other Side."

Are you in a Storm right now with no way out? God promises to be with You in the Storm to get you to the other side.

Luke 8:22-28. "Go to the other side"
In vs. 24 it says, "there was a Calm." Jesus has it all under control.

We need to stay the course and press on. The Lord will bring us Victory and Perspective for any Storm we are going through.

As North Carolina State Basketball Coach Jimmy V was in a Storm battling cancer he said:

"Never Ever Give Up!"

Jim Valvano
North Carolina State Basketball Coach
1983 NCAA Champions

God was with Jimmy V while he was in the Storm giving him Passion and a reason to go one more day.

God gave Jimmy V. the Courage to "Win the Day" each day.

Jimmy V is now on the Other Side with His Maker. In his Storm he chose to Live and show other cancer patients how to Win the Day.

When he got to the Other Side Jesus said "Great Job Good and Faithful Servant Enter in."

Let's look at Storms as a test to see how God is going to use our Storm to help us help others get through their Storms.

This is what Jimmy V did and We can too.
