The Spirit of Soul Surfer Now playing at the Muvico 12
Jesus promises that we will experience times of crisis “In this world you will have trouble”…. - John 16:33
How will we parent through this time of crisis? What will we trust in? “Such is the destiny of all who forget God; so perishes the hope of the Godless. What he trusts in is fragile; what he relies on is a spider’s web. He leans on his web, but it gives ways; he clings to it but it does not hold. - Job 8:13-15
Will we BUST? - unrealistic expectations - comparing our kids and/or ourselves to others - worry about what others think - rely on our own strength
Or will we TRUST? “The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him.” - Psalm 28:7 “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.” - Psalm 20:7
How will we mold our soul surfer? “Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the LORD swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth.” - Deuteronomy 11:18-21
How can we mold our soul surfer? Through EVERY DAY opportunities. Family Dinner time One on one time Captured moments Planned getaways
Do not lose heart! “being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 1:6
The whole verse “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33
