You Are Not Alone in the Storm
Where could these storms be coming from?
Join us this morning for Part 2 of our Storms sermon series! This morning Pastor Daniel is sharing a message about The Source of The Storm.
What if the storm you are walking through right now is not a sign that God has abandoned you, but rather a sign that he is actively at work in your life? This message takes us deep into the question of where our storms actually come from, and why that question matters more than we might think. Drawing from the account of the disciples caught in a violent storm while following Jesus across the sea, and contrasting it with Jonah's storm that came as a direct result of running from God, we discover that not all storms are the same. Some storms are storms of development, stretching our faith and preparing us for what lies on the other side. Others are storms of correction, where God in his mercy is redirecting us back toward the purpose he has always had for our lives. The disciples obeyed and still hit rough water. Jonah disobeyed and the sea rose against him. Both needed to respond to God, but in very different ways. The central truth that emerges is both simple and profound: following Jesus does not guarantee smooth sailing, but it does guarantee that Jesus is in the boat with you. That changes everything about how we face the waves.
let us pray for you:
