Hello Hurricane: Step 1 in Storm Survival

Storms in life are inevitable. Are you prepared? Unlike meteorological storms, life storms can’t be predicted or evaded: Life storms can only be endured. In week 1 of our Hello Hurricane series, we look at one of the shortest parables Jesus tells, and one that specifically tells us what we need to do to prepare for storms. Scripture: Matthew 7:24-29 Also Matthew 5:13-16 Matthew 5:27-28 Matthew 6:34 Matthew 7:1 Matthew 7:12 References: “Now we need to understand that what simply occupies our mind very largely governs what we do. It sets the emotional tone out of which our actions flow, and it projects the possible courses of action available to us…. “The deepest revelation of our character is what we choose to dwell on in thought, what constantly occupies our mind—as well as what we can or cannot even think of.” -from The Divine Conspiracy, by Dallas Willard
