When the Storm Meets the Savior

Hey Guys,

Yesterday, we opened God’s Word to John 6:16–21 and were reminded of one of the most beautiful truths in the Christian life: the presence of Jesus changes everything.
The disciples were in the middle of the Sea of Galilee, battered by wind and waves, straining at the oars in the dark. They were exactly where Jesus had told them to be—yet they still faced a storm. And in the middle of their struggle, Jesus came to them, walking on the water, declaring, “It is I; do not be afraid.”

That scene is not just history—it’s a picture of our own lives. Following Jesus doesn’t mean we will avoid storms. It means we will never face them alone. His presence brings peace, even before the winds die down.

We learned that:

• Storms are inevitable, but not accidental. God uses them to strengthen our faith.
• Jesus is never far, even when we can’t see Him. His timing is perfect, and His help is certain.
• Peace doesn’t come from calmer circumstances—it comes from a closer Christ.

If you walked away from yesterday’s message remembering only one thing, let it be this: When Jesus steps into your storm, peace steps in with Him.

If you are facing a season of fear, uncertainty, or struggle, you don’t need to wait for the waves to stop before you can rest. You can have peace right now—because Christ is with you right now.

And if you have never trusted Him as your Savior, the greatest peace you can ever know is peace with God through Jesus Christ. Turn to Him today in repentance and faith, and discover the unshakable calm that only He can give.
Let’s keep walking with the One who walks on the water.

Serving Him,

Pastor Joey
