Contributed by Joel Smith on Oct 30, 2008

How To Faith The Storms Of Life Series

Contributed by David Dykes on Jan 24, 2018

I love the fact that Jesus was asleep during the storm on the Galilee. First, Jesus was a man who experienced fatigue just like us. Second, He possessed such a strong sense of tranquility that He could sleep through the storm.

Add To Your Faith

Contributed by Nettie J Pennington on Jun 19, 2020

When we doubt our faith, we lose confidence in things we cannot see. We cannot see the air we breathe, but we believe it keeps us alive. Walk the narrow path that leads to life, “for we live by faith, not by sight” (1 Corinthians 5:7, NIV).

For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever” (2 Corinthians 4:18, NLT). I have it on very ...read more
