Staying Anchored When Weathering the Storms of Life

Why do you call me Lord Lord, and not do what I say?

Jesus asks a pretty direct question.  To help you really hear what He’s asking He tells a couple of stories.  What you find out in Scripture that it doesn’t advise you to look within but to look up to God alone. He alone is the One who knows what lies ahead.  He knows what it takes to make it through tough times.  This question comes because Jeus knows we have a Lordship problem. Lordship means that you yield every area of your life to Jesus.  When the Lordship of Jesus is settled in a believer’s life, the foundation and all other issues will be settled.  When the Lordship of Jeus is settled in your life, you will hear Jesus’ words and want to do what He says.

Who touched my clothes?

Jesus is a soul healer.  He is concern about you’re entire life.  I guess that’s why it’s  hard to not  be always tickled at this question, because it sounds like something some neurotic person would ask.  But Jesus asks “Who touched me?,” because He knows someone had the faith necessary to just reach out and touch His garment and that would be all that would be enough.  Jesus wants to know who has that kind of faith in His presence.  The question for each of us is, “Is it me?”  Do you have that kind of faith, where just the nearness or presence of Christ gives you the healing that you need?  With this message you discover that if you follow Jesus, He will lead you to heaven, but your life like is more than a just your final destination; it’s also about the journey!  What part of your soul needs the attention of the Lord today?

Why do you not judge for yourself what is right?

Jesus rebuked the crowds who knew how to interpret the weather but who missed what was right in front of them. He taught that God’s kingdom had come. The crowds who followed him saw the signs and miracles he performed. He called them hypocrites because they were open to the ways of the world. They had the intelligence to know that it was better to settle a case before it went to court, but their minds were closed about spiritual things.  Do you tend to do the same thing at times? Essentially, Jesus is begging individuals to examine their own hearts and decisions, exercising personal judgement to live following after God’s will instead of just conforming to appearances.  Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com [www.werfcc.com] !  Check out our original music [https://open.spotify.com/album/2cmh4POzsDUwOvUOgnoIkS?si=UNWP1NA5T9mu_dooANCiDg]!

Why are you so afraid?

Jesus goes on a ride with His disciples when a fierce storm comes on them, only to lead them Into a greater moment of trust.   Jesus is regularly training His disciples .  They become afraid.  They forgot who was in the boat with them.  Jesus has a destination for them and for you.  Jesus ends up  with a plan to run into a demon-possessed man.  Lessons on a ship that lead to en even crazier moment:  Discipleship at its core is followship!    The sudden storms of life never alter God’s plan for your boat or your life, which always leads to more trusting in His plan.  When Jesus asks ,”Why are you so afraid?,”. The problem wasn’t that they were afraid, but that their fear was elevated over their faith.  The great part of today’s question is this idea:  Every storm is subject to Jesus!  His question today helps you to examine your soul not your storm and what you might confront next in life. .  Sundays @ 8:45 & 11:15 745 Symmes Rd Fairfield, OH 45014 Learn more at www.werfcc.com [www.werfcc.com] !  Check out our original music [https://open.spotify.com/album/2cmh4POzsDUwOvUOgnoIkS?si=UNWP1NA5T9mu_dooANCiDg]!

Staying Anchored in Hope

Hope is what provides endurance and help in the difficult times.  May you be encouraged to remain hopeful in the face of challenges because you are anchored to Jesus.   The source of our hope is in Christ and to be reminded of the promises provided in the. Scriptures.  Remember the words to this worship song – So I won't be going under I'm not held by my own strength 'Cause I build my life on Jesus He's never let me down Hope changes life and living.  Hope is something we can share with others who need help seeing beyond a world that is often filled with despair.
