Who Was Afraid Of Jesus? Series

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2021

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

Surviving The Storm Series

Contributed by Kory Labbe on Feb 7, 2026

Storms don’t mean God is absent—they often reveal how deeply we trust what He has already said. In Acts 27, we learn that surviving the storm isn’t about calm seas, but about holding fast to God’s promise until we reach the shore.

Introduction – When The Storm Doesn’t Ask Your Permission Storms don’t send calendar invites. They don’t check if you’re ready. They don’t ask if now is a good time. They just show up. For some of us, the storm has been loud and obvious. For others, it’s been quiet—anxiety, uncertainty, waiting on ...read more
