Eight slide presentation corresponds to the sermon Don’t Freak Out – God Is In Control. When the world appears out of control, remember, we can trust that God is holy, good, loving, and in control.
The world is full of dangerous calamities. There is no point in pretending everything is just going to be fine. Yes, everything happens for a reason, but not always a good reason. Yet, Jesus tells us to not be “alarmed,” with a modern translation reading something like, Don’t freak out – God Is In Control. All things, big and small, flow out of the purpose of God and can be used in our lives to serve His good will.
