WORD: Faith Under Trial
Jiuhui Wang • Mark 4:35-41
- Obedience to God Not Ensure Calm Seas. (v. 35–37)
- With God Aboard, Yet the Waves Still Roar. (v. 38)
- In the Fires of Trial, Only Trust in Christ Endures. (v. 39–41)
Conclusion: The greatest danger in our lives is not war outside, but who rules inside our hearts.
PRAY:
- For our pastoral team to serve faithfully, our church to have a growing desire to make disciples locally and of all nations, for greater involvement in outreach and missions and for the Panama Mission Team as they are on the field Aug. 15-26.
