"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33
 
The Certainty of Storms
lightening 
One of the great things about living in Southern California is that you don't have to worry about Hurricanes.  Earthquakes? Yes! Hurricanes? No.  But whether you're living in Florida and tracking the path of a tropical storm that's just been upgraded to hurricane category, or living right on top of the San Andreas fault and wondering when the next big one is going to strike, there's one thing you can count on --problems are inevitable!
 
Storms. . . earthquakes. . . catastrophes --they strike without warning! They hit you, and they hit you hard at the worst possible times, and they don't call ahead to let you know that they're on the way.
 
This weekend we're continuing our series "Ignite," and we're looking at how "My Worship Can Change The World." We'll be examining the story of Paul & Silas in Acts 16, and we'll see how the way that they responded to pressure opened doors for them to share their faith and how the same thing can happen in our lives as well.
 
I hope to see you this Saturday at 5:30PM or Sunday morning at 9AM or 11AM.
 
Embracing the journey,
Pastor RIck
