    based on 2 ratings
     | 6,363 views

    In this account, Jesus’ disciples neither totally believed nor totally disbelieved His power to rescue them. We can’t ride the fence. We must keep our eyes fixed only on Jesus before we can expect to see Him work in our life.

    Os Guinness tells us in his book In Two Minds, “To believe is to be ‘in one mind’ about accepting something as true; to disbelieve is to be ‘in one mind’ about rejecting it. To doubt is to waver between the two, to believe and disbelieve at once and so be ‘in two minds’.”(1) This morning we are ...read more

    Most of us, at one time or another, have attempted to comfort someone in distress. We all have different ideas about how this should be done.

    The different ways we do this, reminds me of three elderly men who were passing the time discussing the ideal way of leaving this world. • The first man, age seventy-five, said he would prefer to go to sleep one night and not wake up the next day. • The second man, age eighty-five, said he would ...read more

    This sermon highlights the benefits of having Jesus, the Captain of our Salvation sail with us as we go through different situations and seasons of life.
