Big Idea: If you cant trust Jesus, who can you trust…
1. Who is Jesus… (John 1:1-2; Gen 1:1-2)
2. What Jesus did… (John 1:14; Ish 53:5)
3. What Jesus does… (Ps 62:8; Prof 3:5-6; Her 13:8; John 14:6)
Application:
“We who have trusted Him re bidden now to cast ever care upon Him because he careth for us.
Difficulties are but opportunities for Him to display His power. Emergencies give us the privilege
of proving His loving interest in us as we confide in His grace and count on His might”
-HA Ironside
So with that in mind, how deep does the trust and reliance on Christ go? Is this your
everything, thought, action, conversations, are you trusting Him in everything there is in your
life or do you panic and then run to Him?
Can you take a nap in the boat during the storm?
