"THREE THINGS TO REMEMBER WHEN YOU'RE IN A STORM"
> All the readings together
INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO DAILY LIFE
Just like there are storms in the natural world, we experience storms in our supernatural world. Sometimes we go through "storms" in life.
WHERE DO WE SEE THIS IN THE SCRIPTURES?
In today's first reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah we see Jeremiah thrown into the cistern.
There are three things that we can learn about life's storms that can help us when we're in them.
Nature's storms always end ... and so too will the "storms" of life. They too will come to an end.
NO. 2: STORMS WILL REVEAL WHAT YOU ARE ATTACHED TO
Your priorities will come to the forefront during the "storm"
NO. 3: GOD CAN BRING FREEDOM IN OUR LIVES, EVEN IN THE STORM
Often times we have to let go of the very things that guarantee our unfreedom
FOR YOUR PRAYER THIS WEEK: SCRIPTURE PASSAGES ABOUT STORMS
MONDAY: Matthew 14:22-33

While fishing this past week, a storm popped up. I fished through it, mainly because I didn't want to loose my fish.

CORE MESSAGE: THE HOMILY IN ONE SENTENCE
There are three things that we can learn about life's storms that can help us when we're in them.

Nature's storms always end ... and so too will the "storms" of life. They too will come to an end.
NO. 2: STORMS WILL REVEAL WHAT YOU ARE ATTACHED TO
Your priorities will come to the forefront during the "storm"
Often times we have to let go of the very things that guarantee our unfreedom
