Quiet confidence in troubled waters

Sermon title: Quiet confidence in troubled waters
Key scripture: Acts 27
Preacher: Pastor Cheng Kim Meng

2 kinds of storms in our life:
-first kind is the one we bring upon ourself.
-second kind is cause by others including satanic opposition.
How can we stand tall and have the confidence?
Acts 23:11
Don't drift!
When we are in difficult crisis, we tend to give up important things rather than looking to God.
Don't discard and don't despair.
When we are face with challenges, we have anchor in the Lord.

-3 principles of anchoring in God:
1) Connect with His Presence - Don't Drift.
*verse 23-24

2) Commit to His Purpose - Don't Discard.
*verse 24
When we are faced with crisis, are we becoming more and more Christ-like?
Romans 8:28-29

3) Claim His Promises - Don't Despair.
*verse 25
Storms cannot destroy the child of God.
*verse 42-44
His plan is to give you hope and a future.
