Storms Are Inevitable

Nov 1, 2026  •  Mark Gentry

Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from adversity, it gives us Someone to walk through it with. 


Join us this morning for Part 1 of our new sermon series, Storms! Pastor Mark is Delivering a message this morning titled "Everyone Faces Storms"


What happens to our faith when the storm hits hardest? This message takes us into the heart of one of the most vivid scenes in the Gospels — a violent storm on the Sea of Galilee, a boat full of frightened disciples, and Jesus asleep on a cushion. The central truth is both sobering and deeply encouraging: storms are not a sign that God has abandoned us. They are a part of the journey, and they reveal something important about where our faith has been resting all along. We explore what it means that the disciples were exactly where Jesus told them to be and still found themselves in the middle of a raging storm. That reality should reshape how we interpret the difficult seasons in our own lives. The message draws on Isaiah 43:2, where God promises to be present when we pass through deep waters — not if, but when. This is not a promise that storms will be avoided. It is a promise that we will not be overwhelmed. As we sit with this truth, we are invited to ask ourselves a honest question: when the wind gets loud, are we more persuaded by the storm than by the word spoken over our lives?
