You’re Not Alone in the Struggle

About this episode

Pastor Gary discusses the promise of Jesus' presence during life's struggles and the authority He holds over our challenges.

In this message, Pastor Gary explores the powerful promise of Jesus found in Matthew 28:18–20—that He is with us always—and what that really means when life doesn’t go as planned. Looking at the storm in Mark 4:35–41, we see that following Jesus doesn’t remove storms, but it does change who is in the boat with us. Even in moments of fear, doubt, and uncertainty, Jesus is present—and He still has authority over every storm. If you’ve ever wondered where God is in the middle of your struggle, this message is a reminder: you are not alone in the struggle.
