The Victorious Life

The book of Romans is like a jigsaw puzzle. It’s not a mysterious puzzle, the overall picture is Jesus. But there are pieces that have to be put together.

The Storms Of Life

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022

Jesus rebuked the wind. He didn’t have to speak more than once for this occasion. But how many times does God have to tell us something before we listen?

Psalms 46:10, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Sometimes we tend to rely on ourselves before trusting in the Lord.
