GOD IS FAITHFUL (Shipwrecks)
Connect
When I was growing up one of my favorite shows to watch was Gilligan’s Island.
Every episode started with the catchy theme song that introduced what happened to them.
So seven people set sail on what was scheduled to be on a three hour sightseeing tour.
But they got caught in a storm and ended up stranded on an uncharted tropical island.
The show develops from the failed attempt at escaping the island and the interaction of the very diverse group of people.
Their shipwreck was turned into a comedy, but most shipwrecks, storms and trails are anything but a funny.
In October 1991, a storm stronger than any recorded hit the coast off of Gloucester, Massachusetts.
This storm was so powerful boats encountered waves of 100 feet high
the equivalent of a 10 story building and winds of 120 miles an hour.
While the storm may not have been a threat to the land or to the homes along the shore,
it was however deadly to those men and women who were caught in the shipping and fishing lanes.
Many of the families of the small fishing towns surrounding Gloucester suffered the loss of family and friends in what is now remembered as the perfect storm.
Most of us in this room will never face a situation like the one I just described.
However, there will come a time in the life of every believers when we face storms.
Storms of sickness
Storms of sorrow
Storms of suffering
Storms of grief
EOC it’s been a crazy two and half years.
I would say the world has been shipwreck/or been in a storm.
The loss of a loved one
Political upheaval
The loss of a job
Their business closing
Financial hardship
Hunger (not having enough to eat)
Homelessness
Mental health concerns
COVID 19 (the world stopped)
That’s just a few things that people have gone through.
In the last few months along we’ve had shootings
· In a grocery store in Buffalo New York,
· Shooting at a school in Uvalde Texas.
It’s been crazy!
There’s a lot of evil out there.
A lot of peoples lives have been shipwreck.
You see when life shipwrecks come, they are the unwelcome, unexpected, uncomfortable, hard, painful, difficult experiences we go through.
Let me give you some examples.

6. BUT GOD IS FAITHFUL
He has been Faithful to provide

ONE OF THE ATTRIBUTE OF GOD IS FAITHFULNESS
One of the attributes of God is His faithfulness.
When I say God is Faithful, I mean
He is trustworthy
Dependable
Steadfast
Unwavering
Loyal
Reliable
Honest
Firmness.
God is not wishy washy He doesn’t switch things up.
God never gets anything twisted.
His word will always come to pass.
We can always rely on His Faithfulness.
Psalms 119:89-90
says Your eternal word, O Lord, stands firm in heaven.
Your Faithfulness extends to every generation, as enduring as the earth You created.
That means God’s word is forever and firmly fixed in heaven.
It will never change and remains relevant to ALL people in every culture throughout history.
If God spoke something a thousand years ago, it still stands.
Numbers 23:19 says
God is not a man, so He does not lie.
He is not human, so He does not change His mind.
Has He ever spoken and failed to act?
Has He ever promised and not carried it through?
God is Faithful to His word because His word is an expression of His nature and character.
The promises He made still hold true because He does not change.
Malachi 3:6 says I am The Lord and I change not.
Hebrews 13:8 says He is the same yesterday today and forever.
In God there is no falsehoods, lies, or deception.
God is Faithful!
PAUL’S STORY
Earlier I spoke to you about being shipwrecked.
In the bible there’s a story that depicts a shipwreck but it also depicts the Faithfulness Of God.
Acts 27 is the tale of one of the most famous shipwrecks in history that of the Apostle Paul on his way to Rome.
The Apostles Paul is sailing to Rome to meet with Cesar.
