Core Truth: The storms of life are never meant to harm or destroy us; rather they are intended to uncover our weaknesses, correct our disobedience or deficiencies of faith, and force us to decide what really matters most in life.
Scripture: Matthew 7:24 – 27
Therefore 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. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.
