Handling Life's Storms
Fred Lowery
Are the winds of adversity blowing against your life? Have the tornados of life ripped through the orderly structures of life leaving you baffled, confused, hurting? Or maybe this past week, some kind of turbulence caught you off guard. Maybe you thought that if somehow Jesus could just walk on water in my life. If He could walk on the troubled waters of my life...does Jesus walk on water today? I think Houston, Texas, would be a good place to go to find that. What a tragedy.

John 6. Have you turned to that. Preaching through the Gospel of John and having a wonderful time in this great book. We are at verse 16. John Chapter 6, verse 16. When evening came, His disciples went down to the lake where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernium. By now it was dark and Jesus had not yet joined them. A strong wind was blowing, and the waters grew rough.
Now here we have an historical situation. Not a myth, not a fairy tale, not some made up story. We have real disciples, it was a real boat, it was real dark, it was a real storm. Verse 19. When they had rode three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus ...
