From Panic To Praise

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jul 5, 2025

“From Panic to Praise” is a call to trust Jesus in life’s fiercest storms, reminding us that while faith may be shaken when we focus on the storm, it is strengthened by knowing who is with us and secured by trusting in the sovereign power of our Savior.
