Title: Dealing With Trouble
Handling Trouble 
Before Trouble Handles You

Scripture: Acts 27: 1-3

Study Notes:

How to deal with trouble

Paul sailed for Rome and was a prisoner

Three ways of being in trouble: 

A. Just go out, it will find you 

B. You're in it right now 

C. You're headed for it

It rains on the just and unjust

Storms are everywhere

Determine the reason for the storm

Sometimes we bring trouble on ourselves

Troubles brought on by others are the hardest and most difficult to understand

Determine your response to the storm

Don't drift

How to respond to a storm: Confess that there is a storm

Confront the problem

Ignoring it will make it grow

Determine the resources available to you

The purpose of God

The promise of God

Storms come into our lives to develop us

Study Verses: Job 14:1, John 16:33, Psalms 50:15

2nd Corinthians 11: 2-3, 11: 23-28, 4:8

Stay safe, prayerful, and keep the faith!
