Lead Small Groups

The disciples were in the middle of the storm BECAUSE they were in the middle of the will of God. God has purpose and good in every storm. Trust Him.

JESUS IS LORD Believe it! Declare it! Shout it from the rooftops! Let the whole world know that Jesus saves! “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” Romans 10:9

God uses every storm for His great purposes. Trust Him.

The Bible is the Word of God, and it remains just as powerful and relevant as ever.

If you’ve surrendered to Jesus, then you didn’t sign up for an easy road. Don’t lose heart. Keep moving forward.

Think about it… NOTHING in all creation can separate you from the love of God! - - - - - “And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

Christian, the enemy targets the isolated and lonely ones. Surround yourself with other believers through the Church, Small Groups, and friends who are following Jesus.

The Bible is not simply an ancient book full of stories, witty sayings, and good advice. It is the timeless words of our Creator - the Lord God Almighty. It is alive and powerful!

STAY FOCUSED: The devil will use every means possible to take your eyes off Jesus.

Christian, guard your heart. You’re only here in this world as a “temporary resident.” “Dear friends, I warn you as ‘temporary residents and foreigners’ to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.” 1 Peter 2:11

“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.” Exodus 14:14

After thousands of years of experience, the devil has a long list of strategies. Get your armor on - and keep it on. “Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.” Ephesians 6:11

You want some good news? Think about this today… “But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:57

“When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you.” Isaiah 43:2

The manger, the cross, and the tomb were all part of the plan. But it didn’t end there - so was the resurrection! Merry Christmas! Jesus is Lord!

Without Christmas (the true meaning of Christmas) we are dead in our sins, lost without hope, and headed for destruction. But God’s love is greater!

Follower of Jesus, wake up, focus on what God has called you to do, and get back in the spiritual battle. ——— “And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:5

It’s a good Sunday! #sundayvibes
