Life Happens: Walking on God’s Word in the Midst of Life’s Storms
Sermon Notes:
Matthew 14:28-32 NKJV
1 Kings 18:41-46 NKJV
James 1:6-8 NKJV
Point 1: Clinging to God’s Promises in the Midst of Life’s Storms
Matthew 14:28-29
Jesus doesn’t always calm the wind; He simply says, ‘I’ll be with you in it.
Faith isn’t just believing that God can; it’s knowing that He will.
Point 2: Faith Requires Focus – Fixing Our Eyes on God’s Word Over Our Feelings
Matthew 14:30-31
True faith isn’t about pretending the storm doesn’t exist; it’s about trusting that God’s word is more powerful than the chaos surrounding you. Real faith—the kind that walks on water—is wild, bold, and fearless. It looks directly into the storm and declares, ‘I see you, but I trust Him more.
“Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.” – Oswald Chambers
Point 3: God’s Word Triumphs Over Every Distraction and Discouragement
1 Kings 18:41-46
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
Point 4: Worship Through the Storm – Anchoring Ourselves in God’s Faithfulness
Matthew 14:32
God’s peace isn’t waiting for the storm to stop; it’s waiting for you to step into worship.
“Worship in the storm doesn’t change the storm; it changes us. It lifts our eyes from the chaos to the One who holds peace in the midst of it all.”
