We have all been caught in a storm at one time or another. Maybe it was just a hard rain or maybe something more serious, like a hurricane, that we needed to take cover from. Regardless, we all know that some storms can be scary and even dangerous at times. We can become frantic during them. But what if walking through a storm can refine you as a person? As believers, that is what a storm in life can do for us. This week at Mount Hope we begin a new sermon series in the book of 1 John, Walking with Jesus in the Stormy World. In our first week we already see what John is trying to teach us about the storms of life and the storms we face as a church. But we also see how in that very same storm, joy can be found and made complete when our faith is certain in Christ.
