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

We all face jagged rocks which can lead to shipwreck:
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.
