"Going To" or Being Church #32

Mar 16, 2025    Joseph Laughlin

In this powerful message, we're invited to explore what it truly means to navigate the storms of life as followers of Christ. Drawing from the riveting account of Paul's treacherous sea voyage in Acts 27, we're reminded that church isn't about avoiding life's challenges, but learning to face them head-on with faith and wisdom. The story vividly illustrates how we often find ourselves caught between worldly advice and godly wisdom, much like the ship's crew who ignored Paul's warnings. This prompts us to reflect: when life's winds are against us, who do we listen to and why? The message challenges us to follow godly wisdom instead of seeking comfort, and to focus on God's promises rather than our circumstances. It's a call to cut the ropes of our self-made safety devices and instead cling to God's salvation in every moment of our lives. As we face our own storms, let's remember that God's provision often doesn't look like we imagined, but He is always working for our good.
