Morning Service Live Stream

This week’s service features an encouraging and powerful message on trusting God through life's most difficult seasons. Guest speaker Brother Brad Hughes walks through Mark 4:35–41 to remind believers that no matter the trials, uncertainties, or storms we face, Christ remains completely sovereign, present, and in control.

Service Breakdown

- Bible Reading: The service opens with the reading of Psalm 11:1–7, proclaiming our trust in the Lord and reminding us that God is righteous and sits upon His holy throne.

- Children’s Corner: Using flashlights as an illustration, the children's lesson explores Matthew 5:15–16. Kids are encouraged not to hide their light, but to let the love and truth of Jesus shine through their daily words and actions to dispel darkness.

- Worship & Music: The congregation joins together in worship, singing classic hymns including "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." Tonya shares a heartfelt personal testimony of God's faithfulness during seasons of change and performs a moving special song titled "Desperate."

- The Message: Brother Brad Hughes delivers a sermon titled "In the Storm He Remains in Control," focusing on Mark 4:35–41. When a violent windstorm threatens the disciples' boat, Jesus calms the wind and waves with a word: "Peace, be still." The message reminds us that trials are inevitable, but Jesus is never unconcerned with our struggles, and our faith must rest in the Savior rather than our circumstances.

Key Moments & Themes

- Storms Inevitably Come: Trials and hardships fall on both the righteous and the unrighteous. Difficult seasons—whether grief, health crises, or sudden life changes—often serve to refine our dependence on the Lord.

- He Is Never Unconcerned: When the disciples asked, "Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?" they questioned Christ's care in the middle of fear. Jesus is fully aware of every trial we walk through and is always present with us.

 - Choosing Faith Over Fear: Fear fixates on the wind and waves, while faith fixes its eyes on the Father. We are called to lift our eyes to the Lord, knowing He is our refuge, strength, and a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).

- It Is Well With My Soul: Drawing from the story of Horatio Spafford and the writing of the beloved hymn, the sermon illustrates that even in moments of devastating loss, God provides supernatural strength and peace that surpasses all understanding.
