    Calm In Wild Weather – Peace In Life’s Storms (Message December 2023) Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Dec 19, 2023
     | 1,326 views

    I have just been through flooding rains, and in the past, in the eye of the storm (cyclone, hurricane). Peace and calm from God is present in life’s storms in turmoil all around us. In His hand there is comfort when all this world wants to do is to batter the life out of us.

Is it some arbitrary force often personified as “Nature”, or is it climate change (if you are desperately seeking an answer), or is it some random series of happenings. It is none of these. The One who ...read more

    Metaphorically speaking, the clock is ticking away in the background. The countdown has begun. Gethsemane lies ahead: as does our Lord’s betrayal, trial and death.

    AND IT WAS NIGHT. John 13:21-32. As the Lord’s ‘hour’ drew near that He should depart out of this world, He turned His attention more and more to ‘His own’ (John 13:1). After the foot-washing and the teaching which immediately followed it, Jesus “was troubled in spirit” (John 13:21). ...read more
