SHIPWRECK

Four Lessons
1. Storms often come when we disobey God.
2. Storms have a way of revealing character.
3. Even the worst storms cannot hide the face of God or hinder His purposes.
4. Storms give us opportunities to serve others and bear witness to Jesus Christ.

Hey—You!
Grab a bucket & start bailing!

BIG FEAR produces small faith.

But BIG FAITH produces small fear.
