With uncertainty, panic, and fear surrounding the coronavirus in the U.S., Pastor Lee Cummings brings a timely word encouraging us to stand firm in the storm and trust that the Lord will get us through.

Focus Scripture

Mark 4:35-41 (ESV)

“On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. And other boats were with him. 37 And a great windstorm arose, and the waves were breaking into the boat, so that the boat was already filling. 38 But he was in the stern, asleep on the cushion. And they woke him and said to him, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?” 39 And he awoke and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, “Peace! Be still!” And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?” 41 And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, “Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?”

Sermon Highlights

• What was a comfort zone becomes a panic room and a battle ground.

• God uses the storm to reveal the other side of Himself and refine the other side of us.

• The greatest storms we face are within us.

• When the waves and wind come - it reveals lies, doubts, fears, and what we really believe about God.

• Storms neither shake Him, nor wake Him - they unveil Him!

• Jesus took a great storm and turned it into a great calm.

• Will we partner with the storm or with the one in our boat that the wind and the waves obey?

• Will we be paralyzed or mobilized?
