Anchored in the Secret Place

Feb 9, 2025    Scott Owens

In this powerful exploration of faith during storms, we dive deep into the story of Jesus walking on water from John 6:15-21. This familiar tale takes on new significance as we consider how our response to life's challenges reflects our spiritual anchoring. The central message reminds us that storms don't just test our faith—they reveal it. We're challenged to shift our focus from merely surviving difficulties to recognizing Jesus' presence within them. The imagery of disciples struggling against the wind parallels our own attempts to control life's circumstances, often missing the divine intervention right before us. This message urges us to 'let Jesus into our boat,' emphasizing that true peace comes not from the absence of troubles, but from Christ's presence amidst them. We're encouraged to cultivate intentional alone time with God, preparing us for unforeseen challenges and aligning us with His greater purpose.
