The Evening Faith Grew

As we live out our days on this earth, we can experience some very difficult hours. These storms can either destroy or make us a stronger person. In this week’s sermon, we will get a word from God regarding what we can do with these troublesome hours.

Scripture: Mark 4:35-41
That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.”
Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped.
Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
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!”

Renewing Reflections
It is our prayer that Renewing Reflections will be a blessing in your life this coming week. This quote is taken from the sermon “Simon, the Cross Bearer“ delivered on Christian Crusaders March 4, 2001.
Many crosses can be added to our life’s journey, but Jesus has promised, “Cast all of your cares on me, I care for you.” If you are a Christian, live with that promise. If you are not a Christian, receive Christ as your Savior and experience the joy of walking with Him each day. First, a peace that passes all understanding will fill your soul. Then, you will have a story to tell to the nations.

On the Light Side
On the day Jodi received her learner’s permit, her father agreed to take her out for a driving lesson. With a big grin, he hopped in behind the driver’s seat. “Why aren’t you sitting up front on the passenger’s side?” she asked.

“Jodi, I’ve been waiting for this day ever since you were a little girl,” her dad replied. “Now it’s my turn to sit back here and kick the seat.”
