This sermon takes the movie, White Christmas, and asks the question, "What do you do when it doesn't snow?" In other words, what do you do when you're giving it all you've got, but things still aren't working out? Taking passages from Galatians, James, and 1 Corinthians, this sermon will be a great encouragement to those who feel like life has taken a wrong turn and they're not sure where they're headed.
3. What should I do when it doesn’t snow?
1) Endure Uncertainty
4. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for
in due season we will reap, if we do not give
up.
– Galatians 6:9
5. What should I do when it doesn’t snow?
1) Endure Uncertainty
2) Embrace Stress
6. Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials
of various kinds, for you know that the testing of
your faith produces steadfastness. And let
steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be
perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.
– James 1:2-4
7. What should I do when it doesn’t snow?
1) Endure Uncertainty
2) Embrace Stress
3) Expect Reward
8. Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold,
silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw—each
one’s work will become manifest, for the Day will
disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire, and
the fire will test what sort of work each one has
done. If the work that anyone has built on the
9. foundation survives, he will receive a reward. If
anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss,
though he himself will be saved, but only as
through fire.
- 1 Corinthians 3:12-15
10. Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the
time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to
light the things now hidden in darkness and will
disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one
will receive his commendation from God.
- 1 Corinthians 4:5
