Trouble and Calamity

Nov 3, 2024    Pastor Matt Sturdevant

How should followers of Christ handle trouble and calamity? In this message, we explore the stark difference between the world's view that trouble is unusual and God's truth that trouble is our context. Rather than being caught off guard when difficulties arise, learn a practical three-part game plan for navigating troubled times.


Before trouble starts, we must walk in wisdom, pray for protection, and help others. During trouble, the focus shifts to maintaining the right perspective, confessing the truth, praying, controlling our thoughts, and taking appropriate action. After trouble passes, we praise and thank God for His faithfulness.


This timely message includes biblical guidance for Christians during challenging times. It reminds us that while we can't eliminate trouble, we can minimize it through obedience. Most importantly, we're assured that God can use even the worst circumstances for our good, though we may not see how now.
