Have you ever been in a storm you didn’t see coming?

Sometimes the storms of life arrive without warning. A diagnosis. A broken relationship. Financial uncertainty. A loss we never expected. Suddenly, the waves seem bigger than we can handle, and fear begins to take over.

And in those moments, we often find ourselves asking the same question: Where is Jesus when the wind is against us and we are afraid?

This Sunday we continue our three-week series, The Kingdom in Action, with Week 2: “When the Storm Comes.” After feeding thousands of people, Jesus sends His disciples out onto the water. And then the storm comes.

Jesus knew it was coming. He didn’t prevent the storm. But He didn’t abandon them in it.

In the darkness, Jesus comes walking across the water and speaks words that still bring hope to people facing storms today:

“Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid.”

Jesus is not simply demonstrating His power over the water. He is revealing who He is—the Lord who has authority over the chaos and the One who comes to His people when they are afraid.

When the storm is bigger than your faith, Jesus is still bigger than the storm. Summer Services are at 9am each week! Live Streaming available.
