Lessons from a Hurricane

The Houston area has just gone through a major hurricane and it seems like such events occur almost yearly somewhere in the world. In this sermon Gary Smith looks at what the Bible says about natural disasters and what we should learn from them. Many in Houston are now doing repairs on their homes and he ends the sermon by focusing on the spiritual lesson Jesus spoke of with regard to building our spiritual homes on a rock and not on sand.

Gary Smith was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, but spent most of his youth in the Pasadena, California area. He graduated from Ambassador College in 1976 and he and his wife, Liz, moved to Peoria, Illinois. For the next six years he worked as a nursing home administrator in Illinois, Ohio, and Texas.
In 1982, he and Liz began to serve in the full-time ministry. Since that time, they have served in a number of congregations in the Midwest.
Gary and Liz now pastor in Houston, Texas near their two children and grandson.
Apart from pastoring, Gary enjoys hiking, playing and watching sports, reading and spending time with family.
