Life is hard enough but when the big storms come it gets much more difficult and quickly. You can be sure storms are coming and today on Light on the Hill you’ll learn how to prepare for them!
This is the Christian’s Hour. Welcome, I’m Stan Smelser, program host.In this week’s message, from our series; “Only God”, Gene Appel, lead minister with East Side Christian Church in Anaheim, California unpacks how our most significant fears come from the uncertainties that blind-side us throughout our lives.Today, from the Bible’s book of Mark the writer shares how after a very busy day of ministry for Jesus and his disciples, they use a small boat to escape the crowds and go to “refuel” in a more restful place across a local lake. Their crossing starts off very peaceful and relaxing and Jesus even falls asleep. Suddenly an enormous storm overtakes them and in the midst of the storm something incredible, something, life changing takes place.Here’s Gene with the lowdown on how to deal with fear…
Life is full of squalls—sudden unannounced and unexpected storms that can lead us to question if God is in control of our lives. Death, sickness, unemployment, broken relationships, fears and failures are some of the troubles Satan uses to swamp us with doubt, usually when we’re already stressed and exhausted.How do you respond when you’re hit with the squalls of life? Are you like the disciples in Mark 4 who wondered why Jesus slept while their boat was sinking, or do you believe God is in as much control when He’s seemingly asleep as when He’s obviously awake? Do you pray, “Don’t let there be another squall”? Or do you see storms as part of God’s plan for your life?Teaching from the Gospel of Mark, Jill Briscoe addresses the issues of suffering and faith, challenging us to examine our beliefs in God in the midst of trouble.
In life we are either entering a storm, in a storm or coming out of a storm. But we are promised that no matter the storm, there is a calming Savior who has the ability to give peace to those who are struggling through them. In this inspiring message entitled, WHEN THE STORMS MEET THE SAVIOR, Pastor Jeff Schreve reminds us how the Lord works beside us in the midst of these storms in our lives to draw us closer to Him. It’s from the series, ENCOUNTERING THE REAL JESUS.
Welcome to The Healing Word program. Today, we are blessed to hear a powerful message from Pastor Jack Morris, who will lead us into the heart of one of the most profound moments in the New Testament. In Mark Chapter 4, amidst the chaos of a violent storm, Jesus speaks three simple yet mighty words: "Peace, be still." These words not only calmed the raging seas but also revealed the divine authority and tranquility that Jesus brings into our lives. Join us as we open our hearts to this timeless message, allowing the peace of Christ to still the storms within and around us. Mark 4:40-41 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?” They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”
