How to Have Faith in Hard Times

From YouTube

Description

When the job, the market or your health starts to shift, faith in hard times comes down to what you built before the storm showed up. Jesus says the same rain, floods and wind hit every house, and the storm only shows what each life was already built on. Build on him now, one daily choice at a time, and you will still be standing when it hits. In this sermon, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Matthew 7:24-27 and shows why the foolish builder heard the same words as the wise one and still built on sand. Questions this sermon answers How do you have faith in God during hard times? Act on what Jesus says before the storm comes, through daily spiritual habits and people who already know you and will pray with you. Does a storm mean God has forgotten you? No. The storm hit both houses, so it shows your foundation and does not cancel God's love for you. How do you strengthen your faith in hard times? Name your storm honestly to God and to one trusted person, then keep building on Jesus in the small choices you make each day. What is the difference between the wise and foolish builder? Both heard the same sermon, but only the wise one did what it said, which is why James 1:22 calls us to be doers of the word.
