Faith Through Storms

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 18, 2025

Faith through storms means trusting the unseen Christ, whose presence anchors us when silence roars and waves threaten to overwhelm.

The Wreck The November wind howled across Lake Superior like a living thing—cold, relentless, merciless. The kind of wind that makes grown men tighten their collars and check their ropes twice. It was November 10, 1975, when the Edmund Fitzgerald—a massive ore freighter, proud and trusted—faced ...read more

Choose Your Sea

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 29, 2025

Fear hoards and dies, love trusts and flows; in Christ we become Galilee — alive, generous, healed from the bondage of fear.

The Story the Land Tells If you ever travel the length of the Jordan Valley, you pass between two seas that could not be more different. In the north lies the Sea of Galilee, surrounded by gentle green hills and palms that bow in the evening wind. Fishermen still cast their nets there at dawn. ...read more

Go! And Trust The God Who Commands The Storm - Habakkuk 3:8-10 Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Nov 21, 2025

Storms do not ask permission. They do not knock politely on life’s door. They burst in, they howl, they shake, they terrify. And yet Scripture tells us not only that God is with us in the storm, He commands the storm.

Jesus Napped

Contributed by William Thompson on Aug 24, 2025

The Bible gives us a beautiful, almost humorous detail about Jesus: He took naps.

How many of you would say you’re tired right now? (Pause, let hands raise and smiles show.) We live in a world that celebrates exhaustion.

Delivered And Sent

In Mark 5:1–20, Jesus enters Gentile territory, confronts a man possessed by a legion of demons, and drives them out. The result: a restored life and a clear choice—keep comfort or welcome Christ’s freeing authority.

You know, it's funny how our culture deals with the idea of demons and spiritual evil. We kind of swing between two extremes, don't we? On one hand, you've got people who roll their eyes at anything supernatural. "Demons? Come on, that's just ancient superstition!" Then on ...read more
