Surviving Life’s Storms
Psalm 27:1-6

• Horatio Spafford’s life was so close to that of Job in the Bible. He had lost a son and investments.
• A vacation becomes a tragedy as four daughters drown.
• David is remembered as a great king. He had a lot of tragedy in his life. His power, wealth, etc. could not save his son.
• Life is not fair. Life is difficult and painful.
• We must not allow the storms of life to drown us but rise us above the storm waters.
• Wrote the hymn at the location his daughters drowned.
• Hymn
  • Vs. 1 It is well with his soul in good times and bad times
  • Vs. 2 My own suffering can never be as great as Jesus’ suffering for me.
  • Vs. 3 The sins that caused the suffering is washed away by Jesus
    Vs. 4 There will be a day without storms. It has been promised.
• There is no invisible shield.
• Our faith will make life more difficult.
• Jesus can rescue us from any storm just like he rescued the disciples and Peter on the Sea of Galilee.
• Find the faith that conquers instead of being conquered – find your love relationship with Jesus.
• Friendships are based on:
  • Talking with one another – prayer
  • Spending time together – worship
  • Being part of Jesus’ family – membership
• We have to prepare our homes before the storm comes.
  • We must build our relationship with Jesus before life’s storms.
• It is human sin and not God that creates most of life’s storms.
• So many have joined David and Horatio at the graves of those they loved.
• There is still the promise.
