Control your destiny or somebody else will


"Control your destiny or somebody else will."
- Jack Welch

There is no security on this earth; there is only opportunity.
- Douglas MacArthur

If you miss a chance it is if someone who lets a bird
fly away;
you will never get that change again.
- John of the Cross

"I call heaven and earth to witness against you today,
that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse.
So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants,
by loving the Lord Jehovah, your God, by obeying His voice, and by holding fast to Him."
Deuteronomy 30:19-20

Lord, give me the skill to undertake the correct actions,
and let me always take the right decisions,
always taking into account your wishes and regulations.

How should we preach?

Jesus Christ has instructed us "to go and teach" to proclaim the "Good News" and to distribute it around the world.
How should we preach?

We should:

• preach to all who will listen (Acts 28:30)

• preach with confidence (v. 31)

• not preach with “wisdom of words” (1 Cor. 1:17)

• only preach the true gospel (Gal. 1:8)

• preach with sincerity and goodwill (Phil. 1:15)

• be “blameless and harmless” and “shine as lights in the world” (2:15)

• preach with warning and teaching (Col. 1:28).

Jesus Christ is the perfect security in storms


"Jesus Christ is not a security from storms.

He is the perfect security in storms."
- Kathy Troccoli

"Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble,
and he brought them out of their distress.
He stilled the storm to a whisper;
the waves of the sea were hushed."
Psalm 107:28-29

"As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake,
so that the boat was being swamped, and they were in great danger.
The disciples went and woke him, saying,
"Master, Master, we're going to drown!"
He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters;
the storm subsided, and all was calm."
Luke 8:23-24

God, Through weather and wind, literal and figurative storms
I can come to you and expect that you are my saviour.
You have given your son to me to guide me
I also count on him.
