Emergency: a sudden, urgent, usually unexpected occurrence or occasion requiring immediate action.

 

 

Crisis: A stage in a sequence of events at which the trend of all future events, especially for better or for worse, is determined; turning point.

 

A sequence… you see it and feel it coming! An emergency catches you off guard, but not a crisis! 

What makes a crisis a crisis… you feel like you don’t have the power to change it, correct it, deal with it. And you feel like you don’t have anyone to turn to who can deal with it. 

Total loss of control…

 

 

THEREFORE

Might I submit to all listening to this sermon that if that is what makes a crisis a crisis - we as followers of Christ are never in a crisis! 

 

 

 

Part 3

Final thought: how do you see your own personal crisis? 

Your health, job, finances, relationships, your failing entrepreneurial hustle, your goals, your dreams your desires… Maybe your crisis is just the blah or plainness of life, Maybe your crisis is just nothing ever taking off or making sense, Maybe your crisis is not knowing wether to go to college, what to take, or what job to go for! 

 

Numbers 13: Moses said find out about the promise land

PROMISE LAND??? That is like calling it the promise spanking… the promise bootcamp! 

But Moses says: find out if the land is good, if the people are big, small, easy to fight or warriors, if the cities are big, fortified? What is the soil like, what are the vegetables like, the fruit, the animals and the booty etc…

 

Moses was really asking go check out our crisis! 

 

In 1959 the then president John F. Kennedy in a speech said… 

The Chinese symbol for crisis is 2 symbols combined. The one symbol stands for danger and the other symbol stands for opportunity… and the masses have believed it for years…

WRONG - 

THE FIRST SYMBOL DOES IN FACT MEAN DANGER…

but the second symbol does not in fact mean opportunity, but actually stands for crucial or critical point…

 

And I like that definition better… because that is exactly what a crisis is. 

 

Crisis is a critical point of danger - make the right choice…

 

See the crisis with faith… Caleb and Elisha saw the promise land with faith… they did not see it as a crisis.

 

Funny that the other spies who only saw a crisis… their lives and their families lives ended in the desert.

 

Good idea to set the example to your family and your kids how to handle a crisis… handle it with faith…

 

**How do you see your crisis… How is your faith operating?
