Set Free: Nothing Beyond God
•
Pastor Josh Ehrler
What do you do when the waves are crashing, the water is swirling, and life is beyond your control? The disciples cry out to Jesus. Our gospel is about a boat trapped in a storm. Its about the disciples terrified because they are going to die. Its about the reality of our lives that sometimes life is far beyond our control. But, Jesus is not beyond our hope. Our first sermon in our September series, Set Free, on Luke 8.22-25.
