Sermon Moments
“We are born looking like our parents, but we die looking like our decisions.”
“Even the devil can't destroy our life without us participating in our destruction through our decisions.”
“When we consistently engage in self-sabotaging behavior, we have unconsciously become the enemy's assistant.”
“God will give you enough specificity to move on, but he won't give you too much detail because he wants to keep you listening.”
“The disciples are screaming, but Jesus is sleeping... They are in the same boat, in the same sea, in the same storm, but with two different reactions.”
“If I stay submitted in the storm, eventually the Savior is going to make the storm submit to him.”
“When you don't know what to do, stay in the boat with Jesus and wake up the Savior through prayer and praise.”
This Week
Remember This
Your decisions determine your trajectory, and staying submitted to Jesus during life's storms prevents self-sabotage and allows Him to bring true peace.
