Photographs and video clips of America's Gulf Coast in the aftermath of Katrina (and Rita) have featured heart-breaking scenes.
Our sympathy and prayers reach out to those who have suffered unimaginable horrors.
In the biblical context, several truths have been emphasised. Through these, Hurricane Katrina Speaks To Each Of Us.
1. The POWER Of God;
It should always be remembered that God is the Creator and Controller of this Universe. We cannot answer the question, "Why Katrina?" without taking Genesis history seriously.
One fact is indisputable: this disaster has brought the weakness of man into unnerving focus!
2. The POLLUTION Of Man;
The arrival of Katrina prevented a major celebration of sin. However, such is the depravity of the human heart, that when one avenue of iniquity is closed down, man chases another!
3. The PROXIMITY Of Judgment;
Katrina is another reminder that death and judgment are never too far away!

Told one guy yesterday if I didn't have a Reformed Baptist church to go to, I would look for a Free Presbyterian one.

“ Thank you! ” Thank you Londonderry Free Presbyterian Church for the exposition of character of God in catastrophies. I am afraid many pulpits here in America will miss the many lessons to be learned from Katrina. May the Session guard the pulpit for the Glory of God, and may the Word go out from there for decades to come!

“ Well Researched Message! ” Solo Scriptura!
A grace inspired and extremely well researched [scripturally and worldly] sermon, Pastor Ian!
