    The stilling of the storm on Galilee is a parable demonstrating that life is a roller-coaster experience but with Jesus in command allis well, requiring us to repond in faith.

    RIDING THE WAVES OF LIFE I once heard a minister use a memorable phrase in his prayer and it stays with me: it was "our short and uncertain earthly life and pilgrimage". Life is uncertain. This is true for the Christian as well, as we don’t live in some magic or charmed circle just because we’re ...read more

    Where Is Your Faith?

    The encounter in the storm tells us we need to (1) put our trust in God; (2) do not let fear paralyze us, and (3) faith comes from knowing the Word of God.

    Jesus asked, “Where is your faith?” I believe this is the same question the Lord would like to ask us today. Where is your faith? Where or what do you put your trust in? In yourself – your own wisdom and strength? Your career? Your family? No human being can live without faith in someone or ...read more

    In the parable of the sower and the seeds, Jesus identifies three categories of obstacles to maturity.

He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well. Then he looked for a crop ...read more
