A Sermoenette

Saint Mark, Chapter-5; Verse 34
Rev. Zeller Clemmons, Pastor
Blackwell AME. Zion Church
Have you ever been caught in

a storm? At that moment, one

begins to think about the dwell
ing that he or she is inl We begin
to wonder whether the place is
secure or insecure. When we hear
the wind pounding against the
shutters of the house, when we
look out and see small trees
bending their branches in the
storm and other trees blowing
about in the wind ~ we begin
to wonder. Does our habitat, our
dwelling have a solid foundation?

Will it be able to withstand the

stress and strain of the oncoming

storm?

Oftimes, in our lives; we forget
the real test in life is whether
we ourselves stand or fall, ~whether-our foundation is solid enough
to withstand the storm which
rages ~against us.

It stands to reason that if I
am going to build a Solid Foundation, that I must establish within my own heart a solution to
obtain more faith. For through
faith, I ean be made whole and
can secure a solid foundation.~

To have a solid foundation, I
must have all consuming ~faith. I
must want a faith which will
make me more courageous,

I am happy today that I have
a CHRIST who fills my life and
that HE is building in me a faith
which will make me whole. I am
again happy that my faith in him
will make me_ victorious. One
must put his faith in CHRIST in
order to have a solid foundation.

When we think about the various reasons why people are not
able to reach many of their goals
in life, we find that their trust
and faith has been in earthly
things rather than in heavenly
things. If people would orily
tiust GOD, then all things would
be possible for them,

When Jesus was travelling in

a boat with his disetiples, as he
slept, the wind began. to blow,
the waves began to rage, the rain
pounded on the ship..The_ disciples~ became frightened and in
turn woke up JESUS. JESUS
then. commanded the wind to
cease, turned back the rain, and
calmed the sea and cried out:
~Oh ye of little Faith.~ There
are many other Bible stories
which show that faith is the most
important substance in all life.
We might conclude here that if
anyone hasya Solid Foundation
he must have an abundance of
Faith., Faith gives one more
power to build a Solid Foundation, it also gives one the feeling

that he is more~ secure. with
CHRIST who is ever guiding
him ~to victory. This victory

might well be a solid foundation.

In the fiscal year 1952-1953,
the Red Cross provided a total
~of. 4,121,000 donations of blood
for defense and civilian use. ~
