    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2021
     | 2,180 views

    Jesus Christ has all authority over both the natural and supernatural world. He brought freedom to a tortured soul, stirred a local crowd into anger, and calmed a raging sea. His ministry brought grace, mercy, love, hope, and for some, fear. Why would anyone fear Him? You would be surprised.

    Chapter 4 of Mark's Gospel presented to us the authority that Jesus had over the forces of nature by rebuking a storm on the Sea of Galilee. He and His disciples were in a boat heading to the eastern shore of the Sea when a violent storm erupted, which was a common occurrence according to ...read more

     | 2,045 views

    In life there is often a balance we must seek after, finding good measures of various attitudes and actions to find a happy medium in life. The struggle to find this difficult balance can best be summed in the shortened version of the serenity prayer:

    Peace: The Gift Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Christian Cheong on Aug 23, 2012
     | 28,462 views

    God's peace is relational, not circumstantial. It is active and not passive. The Lord actively dispenses peace to those who minds are stayed upon Him. So keep our focus on Him and keep on praying.

    John 14:27 “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” It is not the Lord’s will for us to be troubled and in fear. He wants to give us peace. Peace is what everyone needs. ...read more
