    Jesus calms the storm on the Lake. This is no ordinary thing, it is extraordinary. How will the disciples react and why did they react the way they did during the storm? From now on how will we react?

    Let It Go Series

     | 7,391 views

    Some people get depressed when they see the trees losing their leaves in autumn. Some even say that the trees look sad. Autumn though shows us how beautiful it is to let things go. We need to consider what, in our lives, we need to drop in order to heal our souls, move forward in our lives and grow.

Because in fall they “let it go” and in the spring, they “turn over a new leaf.” Fall is a time of transition. There are ...read more
