It’s Stormy Out There
Matthew 14:22-36

Events in the world and in our private lives are threatening our faith and causing many of us to wonder where God is. Biblical literacy is at an all-time low because people don't seem to have time to study the Bible, either in their homes or with other folks. Right now the seas outside our little boat are churning with a struggling educational system, a culture saturated with guns, drug addictions and glorified images of violence, with people so filled with hate that they would destroy a house of worship to give vent to their hatred. If you don't think it's stormy out there on the sea of life, you probably don't get out much!
