DENNIS

Good Morning. I am Dennis Gossett with Central United Methodist Church.

When was the last time you went through a storm? I am not talking about a

physical storm, but an emotional storm. Maybe you are facing the loss of

loved one, a job loss, a divorce or separation, or even imprisonment.

Whatever it is, these storms can seem deadly.

So, how is your faith helping you through this? Did you know that Jesus

asked his disciples to get into a boat too in order to get some rest, even

though a storm was coming? But before the storm came, he said let’s go to the

other side. In order for them to get to their destination they had to go through

the storm. Jesus was pointing out something very important to us. We will all

go through storms, but we also have him with us.

When you have faith in Jesus Christ you also have a destination upon the

rough seas instead of being tossed around with no purpose. Do you want

direction and purpose in midst of your storm? Maybe you want to get to the

other side, but are afraid to get in. I invite you to come and be a part of our

faith community at Central. Here, you will find encouragement to get in the

boat and weather the storm. God bless.
