Navigating Crises

The sermon on Sunday Sept 16 (I'm a tad behind here on this blog) was about how people respond to crisis moments. The main point our pastor brought out was that even though we might think that a crisis is an unwelcome event, if we let God train us in it, we'll find that it can be a rewarding moment of learning.

His points were:

God often creates the crisis.
Goodness has drawn us to him.
Revelation has convinced us of him.
Obedience has tested our faith in him.

Crisis often defines our character. God is determined to show us what is in our heart.
The test of courage; the test of integrity (to break our schemes of earthly joy); the test of humility.

But God never abandons his children.
He always remains determined to bless.
