The disciples were in the middle of the storm BECAUSE they were in the middle of the will of God.

God has purpose and good in every storm. Trust Him.

[Lead Small Groups @LeadSmGroups]

@eddiezdanio Jesus responded, “Why are you afraid? You have so little faith!” Then he got up and rebuked the wind and waves, and suddenly there was a great calm.

The disciples were amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked. “Even the winds and waves obey him!”
Matthew 8:26–27

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

JESUS IS LORD
Believe it!
Declare it!
Shout it from the rooftops!
Let the whole world know that Jesus saves!

“If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
Romans 10:9

[Adam | Faithful Messenger @Adam_FaithfulM]

Only one way to salvation.

It's Jesus Christ.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

God uses every storm for His great purposes.
Trust Him.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

The Bible is the Word of God, and it remains just as powerful and relevant as ever.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

If you’ve surrendered to Jesus, then you didn’t sign up for an easy road.

Don’t lose heart.
Keep moving forward.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

Think about it…
NOTHING in all creation can separate you from the love of God!
- - - - -
“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.
No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 8:38-39

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

Christian, the enemy targets the isolated and lonely ones.

Surround yourself with other believers through the Church, Small Groups, and friends who are following Jesus.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

The Bible is not simply an ancient book full of stories, witty sayings, and good advice.

It is the timeless words of our Creator - the Lord God Almighty.

It is alive and powerful!

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

STAY FOCUSED:
The devil will use every means possible to take your eyes off Jesus.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

Christian, guard your heart. You’re only here in this world as a “temporary resident.”

“Dear friends, I warn you as ‘temporary residents and foreigners’ to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls.”
1 Peter 2:11

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

“The Lord himself will fight for you. Just stay calm.”
Exodus 14:14

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

After thousands of years of experience, the devil has a long list of strategies.

Get your armor on - and keep it on.

“Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil.”
Ephesians 6:11

[Lead Small Groups @LeadSmGroups]

@eddiezdanio Ephesians 6:13
Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm.

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

You want some good news? Think about this today…

“But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

“When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
you will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
you will not be burned up;
the flames will not consume you.”
Isaiah 43:2

[Lead Small Groups @LeadSmGroups]

@eddiezdanio Merry Christmas!

[Eddie Zdanio @eddiezdanio]

The manger, the cross, and the tomb were all part of the plan. But it didn’t end there - so was the resurrection!
Merry Christmas! Jesus is Lord!
