Jesus is in control

May 11, 2025

In this powerful message, we dive into the story of Jesus calming the storm from Matthew 8:23-27. This familiar tale takes on new depth as we explore how it relates to the chaos and unexpected challenges in our own lives. Just as the disciples faced a sudden, furious storm, we too encounter moments when life spirals out of control. But the key message here is clear: Jesus is in control, even when everything around us seems chaotic. We're reminded of the importance of inviting Christ into our 'boat' - our lives - and trusting in His peace that surpasses all understanding. The imagery of Jesus sleeping peacefully amidst the storm serves as a powerful symbol of the tranquility we can access through faith. This message challenges us to examine our own responses to life's storms and encourages us to cultivate a deeper trust in God's presence and power in our lives.
