Welcome to Calvary's Online Campus!

In this sermon by Pastor Tony Clark, in a message titled “The Purpose of Storms” out of Matthew 14:22-33, we dive deep into the biblical account of Jesus walking on water and explore the profound lessons about faith, prayer, and trusting God through life's storms. Whether you're facing challenges, seeking spiritual growth, or looking for encouragement, this sermon offers timeless truths to strengthen your walk with Christ.

What You'll Learn:
1. The Purpose of Storms: Discover why God allows storms in our lives, including storms of correction (like Jonah's story) and storms of protection to shield us from spiritual harm.

2. Jesus’ Urgency: Understand the significance of Jesus compelling His disciples to cross the sea, protecting them from the temptation of worldly glory (John 6:14-15).

3. The Power of Prayer: Learn from Jesus’ example of making time to pray (Matthew 14:23) and how a consistent prayer life prepares us for unexpected challenges.

4. Trusting in the Storm: Explore how Jesus teaches us to trust Him even when we can’t see Him, walking by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).

5. Recognizing Jesus in Disguise: See how God uses ordinary people—like Titus, Moses, or even a gardener (John 20:15)—to comfort and deliver us in our storms.

6. Peter’s Faith and Doubt: Reflect on Peter’s bold step to walk on water, his moment of doubt, and Jesus’ immediate rescue, reminding us that if God brings us to it, He’ll bring us through it.

7. Worship Through the Storm: Discover how true worship emerges when we come through storms not bitter, but better, adoring Jesus as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33).

This message is for anyone navigating life’s challenges—whether it’s a personal crisis, spiritual dryness, or a season of doubt. Through humor, historical insights (like the Moravian Revival), and practical applications, this sermon encourages you to:
• Develop a consistent prayer life to prepare for sudden storms.

• Trust Jesus even when He feels distant.

• Recognize the people God sends to comfort and deliver you.

• Come through your storms in worship, not bitterness.

We pray that you are blessed by the message!
