When You’re Facing a Red Sea - Step One
Welcome back to our transformative series, "Four Things To Do When Facing Your Red Sea." Today, we're diving into the first step of this life-changing process: "Fear not."
"Fear not" may seem like a tall order in the face of adversity. How can we not be afraid when life's challenges bear down on us like a storm? Isn't fear the natural response when we find ourselves between a rock and a hard place?
When You’re Facing a Red Sea - Introduction
Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey of faith and transformation! 🚀 In this captivating series, we'll explore one of the most iconic stories in the Bible—the crossing of the Red Sea. 🌊 But this isn't just a retelling; it's a deep dive into the timeless lessons and principles hidden within this remarkable event.
We all know the Sunday School version of the Red Sea crossing, but have you ever considered its relevance to your life today? 🤔
Plot Holes or Potholes?
You know that feeling when you're in the zone, pounding away on a keyboard, and in the middle of a writing sprint that's like a caffeine rush for your creativity? (If you’re not a writer, you’ll have to equate this to some other project you’re elbow-deep in.) So there I was, watching my tale come alive on the screen and giggling in excitement. The story was full of twists and turns, excitement, mystery, and anything else I could throw at it. And the best part of all? It was almost finished!
Never Too Late for Miracles
Grab a cosy seat because today, we're diving into a story about hope and our Saviour's incredible power. We're cracking open the pages of John 11 to uncover a moment that speaks right to the core of our hearts —a time when it seemed all hope was lost, but Jesus showed us that even in the eleventh hour, miracles are still possible.
John 11 tells us that Lazarus, a dear friend of Jesus, had fallen seriously ill. His sisters, Mary and Martha, were understandably distraught and sent word to Jesus, hoping He'd come quickly to heal their brother. Oddly enough, Jesus didn't rush to their aid but remained where he was for another two days.
The Salt That Lost Its Savor
After spending more than a year in Wales, I can attest that British fare is bland. I mean, don't get me wrong, there's a certain charm in a plate of fish and chips or a cuppa with a biscuit, but if you're expecting an explosion of flavours, you’ll likely be disappointed. And don't even get me started on their idea of "spicy." It's like they glanced at a chilli pepper from across the room and decided to call it a day. (And I don’t even like spicy food!)
