Why (1 of 5)
Series: PREPPERS
Steve Jones
Scripture: Matthew 7
MESSAGE SUMMARY: We need a sermon series on spiritual preparation because.
1) Storms are coming
2) Preparedness is wise
3) Time is Right
INTRODUCTION: You might be a prepper if...
1) You've had frank discussions about which insects are the best source of nutrients.
2) You have a 5-gallon bucket with a toilet lid on it.
3) You know the burn time of Nutella and crayons.
4) Your idea of diversifying your portfolio is getting another caliber.
5) You hate to weed-whack all that salad in the yard.
6) You evaluate people according to "skill sets."
7) You wear paracord as a bracelet.
8) You have food that's older than your kids.

10) You panic when you are down to your last 48 pack of toilet paper.

I'm launching a new sermon series entitled "Preppers." And you're thinking, "Why?" I'm glad you asked. There are three reasons we'll look at today as we set up this eight-week series.
I. STORMS HAPPEN
At the conclusion to the sermon on the mount, Jesus said "Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock" Matthew 7:24-25.
For Jesus' original listeners, life was "stormy." Ancient Israel was an agrarian society, so food security was often tenuous. Fo ...
