When you are facing life's troubles

John 16:33

     These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

  • The Bible the Word of God is a manual for life (Not trying to cheapen God's Word) ...
  • The men and women that are portrayed in the Bible show their lives and give you insight to what they are doing and thinking, so realistic!
  • The Bible does not gloss over or hide life's weaknesses or show a distorted view of life...
  • The Bible shows answers to all of life's troubles!

Job 14:1

     Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

  • Worldly religions deal with troubles and heartbreak without showing how to handle it by example or creating some fantastic story or tale...
  • The Bible God's Word, shows us how to handle troubles and to overcome them!
  • That is why Job said in above verse...

John 14:18

     I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

  • In Jesus parable, a story of two men building a house...
  • One man built his house on the sand the other built his house on the rock!
  • Purpose of this parable, is in life these storms will come and He wants us to build our lives on the right foundation!
  • That rock is Christ and His Word!
  • Here we will have troubles, but Christ said in John 16:33 He has overcome the world!
  • Christ will help us to face these storms with assurance!
