b. Moral evil and natural disaster provide a driving context for people to find and freely choose the Creator, and for Him to reveal His love.

3. God made new life possible by becoming a man and covering our moral shortfall at the cost of His own morally perfect life.

Message Title: Evading Jagged Rocks
Series: Shipwreck

Key verses:
Luke 8:4-15; John 6:63; Col. 2:6-8; Luke 12:16-20; Isa 6:9-10

Sermon Notes:

We become blind to the dangers in front of us and run aground on jagged rocks.

1. Worldly philosophies will leave us empty if we believe the lie.

2. Adversity will uproot us if we don’t have a foundation of faith.

3. Worry, wealth and pleasure can choke us if we let them overwhelm and take control.

The life you want—the abundant life—comes from perseverance.
