Sermon Notes

These Sermon Notes offer a reflection guide for the message “Peace in the Midst of the Storm.” Explore how creation teaches us to trust God through life’s challenges. Each section invites prayer, reflection, and peace in everyday life.

Key Points

  1. Creation reminds us that storms—both weather and life’s challenges—are beyond our control, yet peace is still possible.
  2. Jesus invites us to come with our burdens and find rest; true peace begins when we let go of control.
  3. Faith is not about avoiding chaos but trusting that Christ is always present within it.
  4. Daily peace and strength come through prayer, community, and remembering that we are never alone.
  5. The storms of life may be constant, but God’s presence is steady and sure.
