When one walks by the still waters, admiring the delicate flowers and their sweet aromatic perfumes, listening to the wind ever gently rustling through a tall carpet of green grass and watch the autumn leaves tumble and float ever so gently to the ground; one can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of peace and joy. This sense of well being tends to grow when met with the normalcy of routines that have already proven to conquer the most difficult of our daily challenges. And yet standing on the mountaintops of the greatest blessings one can’t help but feel a tinge of terror knowing that living in a fallen world means that chance can arrive like a thief in the night, reek havoc and steal one’s serenity. Circumstances beyond one’s control can happen at a moment’s notice that are so heinous that they threaten to fracture hope in one’s very own existence! When we cannot find someone to help change our bleak circumstances fear grips our hearts and the once peaceful waters become turbulent and life-threatening. The following sermon is going to review the story of Jesus calming the storm to help accentuate the truth that no matter how violent the storm we are facing our hope lies Jesus who is in control and promises to rescue those whom cry out to Him!
