Sundays at Rock Church | June 28th, 2026

Main message: God’s purpose is bigger than the storms we face; when we look for the purpose in the storm we can be prepared and transformed rather than distracted and fearful.

Key points:

• Jesus calmed the storm (Mark 4) to teach the disciples—and us—not to be consumed by fear but to see purpose in the trial.
• Fight the familiar: don’t let routine or cynicism make you forget who Jesus is and what he can do; faith asks God to show something new.
• Fix your focus: fear grows when you focus on the storm; faith grows when you fix your eyes on Jesus (illustrated by teaching kids to swim).
• Follow by faith: live like you believe who Jesus is—obey and act even if the outcome is uncertain (the “even if” faith like Daniel’s friends).
• Practical call: surrender to Christ, live differently so others see Jesus, and be willing to pray for and minister to people in storms.
