Chances are all of us have circumstances in our lives that make us wonder, "what if".While we may never know what would have happened if, we certainly know what has happened since. Many times these circumstances have had negative consequences in our lives. Sometimes the result of these circumstances has messed up our lives so severely that we assume that our lives are just messed up for good. Maybe we’ve tried to fix them and no matter how many times we tried, the fix just didn’t take. Or maybe the mess is so bad that we just figure it can’t possibly be straightened out. But let me put another "what if" before you today. What if God was so great that He could accomplish His purposes for your life regardless of the "what if" you wrestle with? Today we are going to study a passage that shows God is indeed that great.

I want to use the remaining two Sunday's in November to remind us of reasons we can and should be thankful to God for regardless of the circumstances in our lives. We are starting this by looking at reasons to be thankful for the church. I feel this is really important because we live in a day when so many question why the church is needed. It's not uncommon for people today to say that they have their own personal relationship with God, therefore they don't really need the church. We also live in a day where so many are critical of the church. The church today is blamed for everything from poverty to global warming. Very often the idea in these sorts of comments is that the church is a hindrance, a nuisance, and just an overall drain. This is certainly not the way Jesus intends anyone, particularly those who have committed their lives to Him, to see the church. The church is one of Jesus' good gifts to us and should be a reason we are thankful

I don’t know of anywhere in the Bible where we are taught how to make the storms go away, or how to avoid them. What the Bible does teach us however, is how to survive the storms. How to keep on going and pass through the storms. That's what we are going to learn about in this passage. In this passage we see how to make it through the storm without our lives or our faith being destroyed.

Satan isn't nearly powerful enough to overcome God and thwart His plan but what he can do, and does do, is play his mind games with us to thwart God's plans for our lives. How does he do this? That's what this sermon is about.

A part of the unseen world is a battle for the hearts and minds of all people. Satan knows that if he can control what people think then he'll control what people embrace in their hearts. And if he controls what people embrace in their hearts then he controls the way they live their lives. His great desire in this is that their beliefs, behavior, and bearings would be built on something, anything, other than God's will and want as revealed in Scripture. How does the world wage this battle against us? That's what this message is about.
