     | 1,231 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.

    CALM IN WILD WEATHER – PEACE IN LIFE’S STORMS (Message December 2023) Who controls Nature? 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.

    We all have our giants to face in today's society. Our giants may be our fears, our difficult challenges, our health or our finances. Let us battle our giants as those in our Bible have done so in the past.

    We have been talking, over the past few weeks, about some of the challenges we’ve all been facing. Some, more than others but nonetheless, challenges… and how they tore at our hearts and, more sadly, tore at our faith. I like to think of these challenges as our giants. What is a giant to you?

    Unhindered Forgiveness
