Don’t tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is! Did you know that some of our great Bible heroes struggled with anxiety, depression, loneliness, and even suicidal thoughts?  They found real hope. We can, too.
Notes and Next Steps
Genesis 50:20 +  Part 1 of the series "Don't Believe The Storm"
GOSPEL WELCOME

Don’t tell God how big your storm is; tell your storm how big your God is!

“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” (John 10:10)

“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)

VIDEO AND MESSAGE

Once every 40 seconds someone around the world dies by suicide, and every 1.6 seconds there is a suicide attempt.

“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)

There is always a  “but God” waiting for God’s children that allows us to have hope moving forward.

God will always give us his best even when it feels like life is getting the best of us.
