When the Weather Gets Worse

August 13, 2023 • Courtney Harkness • Matthew 7:24–27

Is your life ready for inclement weather? Sometimes, the dark clouds of circumstance can blow into our lives so fast that we assume they will pass just as quickly.


But what if they don’t?


We know life eventually rains on everyone, but what happens when the rain turns into a full-blown storm? At times, we can find ourselves stuck in the most fierce of storms, and those circumstances will try to tear our lives apart. Because when the rain is falling, and the wind is blowing, and the floodwaters are raging, we are forced to admit the one thing that has been true all along: I can’t hold it all together.


Fortunately, there’s Someone who can.

So, what happened to Hope? The same thing that happens to all of us - life. The pressures of this world are constantly trying to chase away our hope, and at times, it can seem like too much to face on our own. Fortunately, God never intended for us to live that way. And often times, it’s only the storms in life - that which we dread the most - that help us discover what we’ve needed all along.

Still Frozen by Fear

August 27, 2023 • Courtney Harkness • Mark 4:35–38

A new life following Jesus isn't necessarily absent of old problems. Sometimes, after we’ve come to faith, we find ourselves facing even greater challenges. And whether it's a storm brewing around us, or emotional chaos bubbling up inside of us, we’ll be tested to see if there is anything that can make us exchange our brand new faith for our same old fear.
