But to make matters worse:įor this storm didn’t just last a few days. And the men on board the ship would be rolling about and tossed to and fro like marbles on a concrete floor and rising up and down like a see-saw.Īnd they were in this life threatening situation all because they (1) didn’t listen and they (2) launched out too soon. And giant waves that were higher than the ship would beat against the ship. The sound of it was eerie…Īnd ships that were caught in this typhoon like situation found themselves being kicked like footballs from one wave to the other. It came howling like ten thousand wolves. It was a wind of great fury that came out of the Northeast. That storm was the granddaddy of all storms. The storm is identified in verse 14 of the King James Version says, it was called Euroclydon.

And shortly after their launching, they fell into the midst of a raging storm. …we are not ready to launch out right now īut because they refused to listen they launched out to soon. …HE knows if we haven’t matured in Christ And then sometimes although He has it for us, He doesn’t have that for us right now because He knows us better than we know ourselves and for that reason He knows where our spiritual level is where it needs to be. It may not even be in God’s will for our life. In fact, sometimes what we want to do God doesn’t have it for us at all. Well I can break it down as simply as this you’re launching out too soon when you do something before God says do it… Now what constitutes launching out too soon? I can go beyond the preacher and say there are some people in here right now who wish they had listened to their mother, father, grandma and granddaddy when they said don't do something.īut I can’t really criticize the captain too much if I am to be totally honest, there have been times in my life, when I have departed too soon. So often, my brothers and sisters, the warning is given, but because we were not listening, We find ourselves in stormy situations. My brothers and sisters, there is a danger in missing the message.

many people make true the words of the O'Jays There are those who frequent the pew Sunday after Sunday, who are not listening to a thing that is being preached. I know the itinerary…įor Paul said, “I perceive that it would be life threatening if you set sail right now.” But the captain disregarded what Paul had to say.ĭon’t look around now, but there are so many in our day and time that ignore the things that the preacher has to say. I hope you will wait a little while longer. Now before they set sail from the island of Crete, Paul had already told the captain, “I don’t think you ought to make this trip, at least not now. There are some lessons that we can learn from this episode in the life of the apostle Paul that I believe can serve as tools that can/will help us when we encounter our individual storms. The question we must answer this morning is not will storms come, but how should we respond when the storms come?Īnd just in case there is someone looking at me right now, who finds themselves in the midst of a storm, I submit to you this morning, my brothers and sisters, DON’T GIVE UP IN THE STORM.

And for that reason Job said in Job 14:1, "Man that is born of a woman is of a few days and full of trouble".Īnd as it was with Job so it was here in the text. Sometimes, my brothers and sisters, life is just like that old saying: "When it rains, it pours". And before he could really come to grips with the first and second problem, he was then assaulted by a third one. He hadn’t gotten over the trauma and the awesome impact of the first problem before he was hit with another problem.

Job as you may recall faced a series of problems that came one behind another. I can tell you from my own experience that the problems of life can sometimes come upon us and before we can get one thing straightened out, we are bombarded with another.Īnd no one can better testify to that fact than Job. And now he’s on this ship caught up in the midst of a turbulent and life threatening storm which was more trouble!Īnd isn’t that just like life sometimes before we can put one problem to rest, you find yourself assaulted by another. You see he had already been arrested and he was on his way to Rome to stand trial. Now this was not Paul’s only trouble, you bible readers are aware that he had trouble before they encountered the storm. For we are told that they were on a small ship caught up in the midst of a storm.

At the time of our text, scripture tells us that Paul was in serious trouble so much trouble that it placed his life and the lives of others around him in mortal danger.
