Have you found your calling?
5. Matthew 6:33-34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
11. 2 Timothy 1:10
He has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

David Lewis Jr. touches on the message,
“Silencing Storms,” drawing inspiration from Luke 8:22-25.
Brothers and sisters in Christ, I am excited to announce our upcoming sermon titled "Silencing Storms," inspired by the powerful scripture from the Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verses 22-25. This passage vividly recounts one of the most profound moments in the ministry of Jesus, where His divine authority over the natural world is showcased in a miraculous calm during a fierce storm. The key verse for our sermon is Luke 8:24, where Jesus, in His omnipotence, rebukes the wind and raging waters, bringing peace and stillness.
In this scripture, we find Jesus and His disciples setting sail across the Sea of Galilee. As they navigate the waters, a sudden and violent storm descends upon them. The waves crash, and the wind roars, filling their boat with water and fear. Amid the chaos, Jesus is found asleep, His calm demeanor a stark contrast to the disciples' panic. Their cries for help awaken Him, and with a simple command, "Peace, be still," the storm ceases, and tranquility is restored.
Verse 24 holds profound significance as it encapsulates the essence of Jesus' divine power and His deep compassion for His followers. It reads: "And they went and woke him, saying, 'Master, Master, we are perishing!' And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm." This verse is not just a testament to His ability to control nature but a reminder of His ever-present help in times of trouble. It invites us to trust in His sovereignty, knowing that no storm in our lives is too great for Him to silence.
As we delve into this passage, we will explore the symbolic storms we face in our own lives—be they personal struggles, societal pressures, or spiritual battles. We will reflect on how, like the disciples, we often find ourselves overwhelmed by the tempests that threaten to capsize our faith and hope. Yet, we will also discover the profound peace that comes from calling upon Jesus, who is always near, ready to speak calm into our chaos.
Join us as we journey through this transformative story, allowing it to illuminate our understanding of God's power and presence. Through "Silencing Storms," we will be reminded that in every turbulent situation, we can find peace in the assurance that Jesus is with us, ready to command calm over our lives. Let us come together to seek His presence and experience the peace that surpasses all understanding.
