Following Jesus doesn't exempt us from life's storms, it does guarantee who is on the boat with us.

Main message: The sermon encourages believers to hold on to God’s last word to them, trusting that it is enough to carry them through storms even when He seems silent. God’s silence does not mean absence; it may mean He has already given the direction needed.

Key points:

• Jesus said, “Let us go to the other side,” and that promise was enough to get them through the storm.
• Sometimes we do not need a new word from God; we need to live by the last word He already gave.
• God’s silence does not mean He does not see us.
• Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding.
• God is our refuge and strength, a present help in trouble.
• God has not given us a spirit of fear or failure, but of power, love, and sound judgment.
