The Storms of Life; and the Severe Mercies of the Lord, 7/5/26
About this episode
The sermon discusses how God's sovereignty is a loving pursuit through life's storms, emphasizing character and hope developed through trials.
Today's sermon passage, Jonah 1:1-17, reminds us that God's sovereignty is not harsh, but a way the Lord lovingly pursued Jonah through the storm, just as He lovingly works through trials in the lives of His children. Trials are not evidence that God has abandoned us—they are a way He produces character, endurance, and hope in our lives (Romans 5:3- 5).
